Reveal: Magico S5 Loudspeaker

The launch

Although we have heard the grizzled adage ‘the longer you await, the sweeter the fruit’ almost more than zillion times, Magico seems to have taken the byword a bit too seriously. After almost five years of their very first V3 portable music solution, the company has now introduced its latest successor S5. Designed truly aesthetically to complement your exquisite room’s décor, the brand new three-way loudspeaker takes inspiration from Magico’s supreme Q Series and its technological arsenal. Having infused breakthrough technologies into a slim, glossy chassis, the four-driver floor standing loudspeaker anticipates to magnificently uplift the legacy of high quality sound and structure. The slender series not only zooms on sustaining the fundamental attributes of preceding variants such as V3 or M5, but also swears up and down to emerge as the most value-laden Magico loudspeaker so far.

Functionality

Swathed in an incredibly appealing, compact enclosure, the new S5 loudspeaker quickly grabs eyeballs for featuring dual 10-inch Magico hybrid Nano-Tec bass drivers which help the system put forth an output of 118dB. There’s a neat mergence of Nano-Tec dust cap from Magico and an outer cone ring of aluminum that enables the system to deliver a smooth, cluster-free listening experience. At the same time, the condensed drivers conjugate amazing power handling in the low bass along with the distortion-free response. With this one around, users can seamlessly look forward to revamping their experience through a slew of powerful features including the Impedance of 4 Ohms, frequency response range from 22Hz to 50kHz, and sensitivity of 90dB. Besides these, the integrated pure titanium voice foil former and dual neodymium motor system ensure remarkable functionality and low levels in distortion. An incredibly promising contender, the loudspeaker offers clarity that is comparable only with the top of the league. Also, the 6” M380 mid-range driver, 1” M830 tweeter and two hybrid nano-tech bass drivers focus on improving the performance bar level proffered by the striking S5 loudspeaker.

What to expect?

If there’s one thing that you are sure to accomplish by forking out your money for S5, then it’s certainly the outstanding sound quality. A sublime device to uplift your listening experience, the floor standing speaker boasts of its unique curved framework – which is touted to be the world’s first assimilation of of ½-inch thick, 16-inch diameter extruded aluminum walls. You will notice the model has been moved by the distinct cabinet layout of the iconic Mini and soothes you with trimmed down damping requirements, diffraction effects and internal resonance. One may also look forward to the truly classy, sheer exterior which ensures a shallow profile. Also, if you are someone who likes perking up the living environments with peppy shades, the solution lets you do that through an array of high gloss and satin M-Coat paint blends. At the same time, those who like keeping it simple yet highly sophisticated may go for Magico’s signature black anodized finish. The fusion of style, quality and premium performance ‘S5’ also offers dynamic capabilities and uncompromising commitment to compelling technical strengths. A black grille which can be removed has been included further – a first for a Magico speaker.

What not to expect?

Although the loudspeaker comes incorporated with a multitude of great characteristics, the device may somewhere disappoint those who were expecting the S5 to be lightweight. Apart from its bulky body that weighs around 190lbs, the solution shares heavy dimensions that come around 48” x 14” x 15”. Also, the device is nowhere going to be kind with your pocket courtesy a pretty heavy price tag stitched along with it.

Nonetheless, the company is anticipated to release the product in the second quarter of the upcoming year.
