MAGNA

The Magna is the original next-generation ribbon headphone, representing a new level of performance not only compared to previous ribbon headphones but also to all other headphones. It is a true TOTL headphone. 

The Magna is made of a fiberglass-aluminum composite material with a diameter of 10 cm, a hard-waxed veneer of American walnut wood, and an anodized surface, weighing 530 g.

The grille is made of etched 3-phase stainless steel, the bridge of titanium aluminum nitride and brushed stainless steel. The headband's skin side is padded with suede, and the click-stop height adjuster has five steps on each side.

The ear pads are made of memory foam, lined on the inside with lambskin and on the outside with perforated leather. The round ear pad opening measures 64 mm. The input connectors are 3.5 mm TRRS jacks.

The twin ribbons are made of corrugated aluminum with a viscous damping skin of "Silent Metal," the combined surface area is 16.8 cm².

The excursion potential is ±4 mm, the maximum sound pressure level is 115 dB, and the impedance is 0.038Ω (0.27Ω with the 1.8 m long S2 headphone cable with XLR4 connector).

Amplification

Connection to amplifiers is via the RCD interface, equipped with specially designed high-quality toroidal transformers. The interface is styled as a headphone stand. Toroidal transformers convert a voltage-controlled amplifier output into a current-driven signal to drive the ribbons.

Compatible amplifiers should have a low output impedance of less than 10mV DC offset and be suitable for driving loads of 32Ω or more. For type 300B and other tube amplifiers designed for speakers, 8Ω or 16Ω versions are available on request (at no extra charge).

The single-impedance interface ensures compatibility with various Head-Fi amplifiers. Compared to older models, the Magna requires only 2.4 watts and the Immanis only 1.5 watts, enabling higher efficiency and greater compatibility.

Suitable amplifiers, such as the Auris Headonia 10th Anniversary 300B or the Trafomatic Primavera with SV811-10, supply full power to the interface. The 100% conductivity of the ribbons allows precise control over the entire diaphragm, resulting in fast response and impressive dynamics.

The Xmax value of ±4 mm for the Raal 1995 ribbons is exceptional for headphone drivers. The SPL capability of 115/118 dB for Magna/Immanis disproves the fragile ribbon stereotype and highlights the performance of these Serbian ribbon headphones, suitable for both consumer and professional use.

The curated amplifiers, including the new Auris amplifier, provide the necessary power and interface compatibility.
