TAS’s Magico Roundup

[Κώστας Φ.]

In issue 179 of TAS, Robert Harley and Jonathan Valin dedicated some serious time exploring the phenomenal high-end audio products from Magico. Not only did they get to review the outstanding Magico II Mini-Monitor and Magico V3 loudspeaker, but they also were given the opportunity to interview Magico founder Alon Wolf.

Tα ηχεια πρεπει να ειναι φοβερα. Πολυ θα ηθελα να τα ακουσω. Γενικως εχουν παρει ΕΞΑΙΡΕΤΙΚΕΣ κριτικες. Νομιζω αντιπροσωπος ειανι η audiotemple στη Κατεχακη.

H αλήθεια είναι ότι πολλοί χομπίστες που είχαν την τύχη να τα ακούσουν προσπαθούν μανιωδώς να βρουν τα μεγάφωνα και γενικότερα να φτιάξουν κλώνους (γιατί δεν είναι για όλες τις τσέπες)...
Easier said than done, φυσικά. :happy_6:

Τα tweeter είναι τα ring radiator της scanspeak. Τα υπόλοιπα μεγάφωνα από που τα προμηθεύονται άραγε;

(Και) εκεί είναι τα ζόρια...
Το πρώτο Mini φόραγε της ATD.
Συγκεκριμένα το:

ATD-18W4004 7" Titanium sandwich mid/woofer

Το φοράει και το Volent VL-2.

Το νέο Mini όμως χρησιμοποιεί "proprietary Nano-Tec drivers".

Jonathan Valin’s Quick Explanation of Magico’s Nano-Tec Drivers

The word “Nano-Tec” is adopted from computer technology, where “nanotechnology” refers to the manipulation of very small structures to build microscopic circuits.

Here it translates into the weaving together of different weights of carbon fibers (the heavier the fiber, the stiffer; the lighter, the more flexible) to produce a composite that optimally balances mass and stiffness.

Each mid/woof uses several layers of this Nano-Tec material of different weights with a Rohacell core in its center, making up a Nano-Tec/Rohacell/ Nano-Tec sandwich. (The company that makes these parts for Magico makes helicopter blades of the same material, which should tell you something about its mass, stiffness, and strength! Wolf says that both he and I could stand on one of these cones, which weighs a scant seven grams, and not make it buckle or crack—it’s that strong.)

In addition to the change in material composition, the Nano-Tec driver also uses a 75mm titanium voice coil (with neodymium magnet) better than twice the size of the 32 mm coil (with ferrite magnet) used in the original Mini’s titanium-sandwich mid/woof.

Not only does the larger coil dissipate heat more efficiently, it (and the more powerful magnet) also controls the cone more effectively. Thanks to its larger diameter, the new voice coil supports the diaphragm about two-thirds of the way to its outer edge (rather like a ring-radiator), providing better regulation of motion.

In addition, the mid/woof’s spider has a “chaotic profile,” its shape computer-designed for minimal standing waves and resonances. The sum total of all of this technology is a driver that is said to stay completely pistonic throughout its entire passband—and beyond. (The Nano-Tec driver’s first breakup mode, on-axis, in the midrange is above 20kHz!)
