Magnat has introduced a new line of Signature acoustics, the series includes three models: two floorstanding ones – Signature 809 and 607, as well as a bookshelf Signature 603. The manufacturer assures that each model is ideally combined with the Signature Center Pro, Atmos ATM 202 acoustics and the Omega CS12 subwoofer, which allows using the speakers both in stereo mode and in the format of multi-channel installations for home theater.
New Magnat Signature series opretaes a patented combination of a pair of high-frequency drivers, consisting of an fmax dome tweeter and a dome super tweeter, which allows expanding the frequency range to 50 kHz. The diffusers of the midrange/low-frequency drivers are made using the proprietary 3L technology. The combination of ceramic and aluminum minimizes unwanted resonances, delivering deep bass and precise midrange frequencies. Each driver is optimized using Klippel technology, a pioneering measurement tool.
The speaker cabinets are made of fiberboard, and the crossovers with 24 dB slope filters ensure precise frequency alignment of the drivers. The dual Airflex ports of the 809 and 607 models provide precise bass response.
