Magico writes: “Magico—the leader in high-performance loudspeaker design and manufacture—is pleased to announce the new S-SUB. The sound of the S-SUB: deep and powerful, yet chock-full of detail and speed. The new S-SUB possesses these seemingly paradoxical qualites in a beautiful form factor true to the Magico S Series of loudspeakers.”
The new S-SUB was borne from concepts taken from the groundbreaking TITAN-15 subwoofer. The research and development that led to the flagship TITAN-15 allowed the Magico engineering team to improve upon virtually every aspect of the original S-SUB. The S-SUB is all about enhanced performance in every parameter, and its additon to your system will result in a sound both intensely satsfying and musically revelatory.
A NEW 13” DRIVER
It starts with the driver. The Magico S-SUB features a pair of front-firing drivers perfect for the application. The new 13” driver uses a two-layer, 75mm voice coil with 0.6” of linear travel in each direction for powerful, low-distortion bass reproduction. Each driver sports a power rating of 550W RMS, continuous, and even more under peak conditions. It utilizes a super-stiff aluminum cone to yield a perfect balance between stiffness and weight. An advanced motor system results in a super-stabilized magnetic field employing multiple copper shorting rings to stabilize inductance and minimize distortion. To enable extreme linear movement, the driver’s spider has tensile wires woven in. All of this cutting-edge tech results in a driver optimized for delivering maximum SPL while minimizing music-related distortions in the low frequencies.
A MASSIVE S SERIES ENCLOSURE
The S-SUB’s enclosure was designed and evaluated both with computer simulation and physical testing to meet Magico’s no-compromise requirements for both rigidity and stability, along with a vanishing acoustical contribution. The enclosure was conceived using finite element analysis (FEA) software so that all structural elements were optimized. Further prototype testing was conducted to ensure all design goals were met or exceeded. This extensive research and development resulted in a thick, 6061-T6-grade aluminum enclosure with innovative bracing techniques, together with the most advanced damping materials for an utterly silent subwoofer enclosure.
A MORE ADVANCED AMPLIFIER AND ACTIVE DSP-BASED CROSSOVER
The new S-SUB uses a powerful class-D amplifier capable of 3200W for ample power reserves. State-of-the-art DSP software provides the end user with excellent setup flexibility, including a new rear-panel display, enabling calibration of the S-SUB to the specific room it is used in and with the speaker system it is paired with. This software offers three stored equalization presets, auto-on detection, auto-off shutdown, along with clipping and thermal protection. This adjustability is all implemented using a network-based interface.
