We'd like to have a word with you. It's about Magneplanar loudspeakers. The word is "revolutionary". Revolutionary design concept; revolutionary sound reproduction, revolutionary beauty. In fact the Magneplanar system is patented because of the unique principles on which it operates. The Speaker are designed to be seen and not heard. So if you're listening to music, all you hear is music, not annoying vibrations from speaker cabinets and cavities. The first time you see Magneplanars you'll know something new is going on. They look like beautiful decorator screens. Or handsome room dividers. We know you've heard the word "revolutionary" before. But you've never heard anything like Magneplanars before.
What is Magneplanar?
The Magneplanar loudspeakers is a totally new type of loudspeaker. It is neither a cone type speaker, nor is it an electrostatic. The actual speaker itself is only about 1/8th inch thick. Its construction consist of a large area (planar) permanent magnetic field with a very thin film diaphragm stretched over it. The audio current is carried by conductors which are attached to the diaphragm in a zig-zag fashion.
As the audio current passes through the conductors, the interaction between the magnetic field around the conductors and the permanent planar magnetic field under them causes the entire diaphragm to pulsate. This creates sound waves in the air which is the sound your hear.
A few of the important characteristics of Magneplanars
Purely resistive impedance for ideal amplifier loading
Puts out same sound front and back (bi-polar radiator)
No cavity or cabinet wall resonance to colour sound.
Superior transient response throughout entire audio range due to low mass of diaphragm
Distortion level far below other loudspeakers because of complete control of diaphragm
Can be placed to look more like part of furnishings than a loudspeaker
56" long, 1-1/2" wide tweeter section provides horizontal sound dispersion previously unattainable
Fantastic power handling capability
Large radiating area provides width and height and depth of sound only equalled by live performances
The bi-polar radiation of Magneplanas provides a means of optimizing stereophonic and quadraphonic sound imaging.
