The company announced the S1 Mk II and the S5 Mk II, both models featuring distilled elements of Magico's most recent and groundbreaking engineering accomplishments which are found in the S7 loudspeaker. From a distance each new model appears similar to its predecessor, however upon closer inspection numerous improvements are easily recognized.
Both new versions include a newly designed Magico 1-inch Diamond coated Beryllium diaphragm tweeter that offers matching sensitivity, wide dispersion and high power handling. A robust motor system and a long-throw voice coil design enables lower distortion and cutoff frequencies that enhance driver integration with the mid bass driver in the case of the 3-way S5 MkII. In the later, new dual 10-inch bass drivers have extremely powerful magnets, with ultra-stiff aluminum cones that are specially coated and finished with graphene dust-caps. The excursion rate of the voice coil is measured at 15-mm linear movement, twice as much as its predecessor, and produces clean and undistorted sound pressure levels up to 120dB/1m at 50Hz. In S1 Mk II, compelling mid-bass performance is generated by a newly designed 7-inch driver that incorporates the new Gen 7 Magico Nano-Tec cone material formulated for the M-Project. The driver cone is formed from an ultra-stiff carbon material with a Graphene layer which provides a perfect ratio between weight, stiffness and damping. The voice coil is formed of pure titanium and the new motor features stronger neodymium magnets which enhance the magnetic field.
Both loudspeakers feature monocoque enclosures formed from a single piece of extruded aluminum that is 3/8-inch thick and 12-inches in diameter (S1 Mk II) and 1/2-inch thick and 16-inches in diameter (S5 Mk II). A massive new top plate is machined into an elegant 3D convex shape to minimize enclosure diffraction and break-up vertical standing waves. The thicker base plate incorporates a newly designed 4-point outrigger support that lowers the center of gravity and increases overall stability resulting in lower noise floor and increased dynamics, the company says.
S1 Mk II uses a two-way dividing network which maximizes frequency bandwidth while preserving phase linearity and minimizes IM distortion, optimized using the latest state-of-the-art Finite Element Analysis simulation testing equipment. All five drivers in the S5 Mk II are acoustically integrated using Magico’s exclusive Elliptical Symmetry Crossover topology that includes state-of-the-art components from Mundorf of Germany.
Both S1 Mk II and S5 Mk II are vailable in a new M-Cast finish and the luxurious M-Coat painted finish.
