Magico M9 Loudspeaker: Setting New Standards in Dynamic Performance and Fidelity
The Magico M9 is a groundbreaking, four-way, six-driver floorstanding loudspeaker system that combines advanced materials, innovative driver designs, and the world’s first dual carbon-fiber and aluminum honeycomb enclosure. Featuring an analog active crossover (MXO) for bass/mid-bass separation, the M9 brings unparalleled musicality, transparency, and control to the listening experience. Capable of reproducing delicate nuances and intense crescendos, the M9 represents a new frontier in loudspeaker technology.
Key Features
- Revolutionary Enclosure Design: The M9’s enclosure, crafted with inner and outer carbon fiber skins over an aluminum honeycomb core, is engineered for unmatched stiffness and minimal energy storage. This material choice reduces weight while doubling structural strength, allowing for effortless sound propagation. Aerospace-grade aluminum baffles and front-to-back tensioning rods enhance rigidity, while advanced constrained layer damping eliminates unwanted resonance. The enclosure’s shape, refined using Finite Element Analysis, minimizes diffraction, making the M9 sonically invisible within a room.
- State-of-the-Art Drivers
- Tweeter: The M9’s 28mm diamond-coated beryllium dome tweeter is crafted using chemical vapor deposition, delivering high-frequency clarity and subtle micro-dynamics. This tweeter offers an ideal weight-to-stiffness ratio for remarkable accuracy and musical detail.
- Nano-Tec Cones: The M9’s eighth-generation Nano-Tec cones incorporate an aluminum honeycomb core encased in graphene-infused carbon fiber, providing unprecedented strength and stiffness. This design allows for nearly pure piston motion, effectively pushing resonant frequencies out of the audible range and reducing the need for additional damping.
- Oversized Voice Coils: Magico’s drivers feature large, vented titanium voice coils (3, 4, and 5 inches) to manage intense musical peaks and prevent compression effects caused by voice coil heat. The result is stable, distortion-free sound at high volumes.
- High-Performance Driver Configuration
- Midrange Driver (6″): Equipped with a 3-inch voice coil, this driver ensures linear output up to 120dB SPL at 1 meter with minimal distortion.
- Mid-Bass Drivers (11″): Featuring 4-inch voice coils and large neodymium ring magnets, these drivers deliver powerful and clear mid-bass output optimized for 120dB SPL performance.
- Bass Drivers (15″): With 5-inch voice coils and a 36mm air gap, the 15-inch bass drivers achieve ±15mm of linear excursion, delivering deep, controlled bass with high sensitivity and minimal distortion.
- MXO Analog Crossover for Precision Control: The Magico MXO active analog crossover unit, custom-designed for the M9, manages the 120Hz transition between the 15-inch bass and 11-inch mid-bass drivers. Utilizing fully balanced, discrete circuitry and Linkwitz-Riley filters with steep 24dB per octave slopes, the MXO ensures pure signal integrity. The crossover’s external power supply provides stable power regulation, allowing the M9 to achieve seamless integration across all frequency ranges.
The Magico M9 is the culmination of relentless innovation, precision engineering, and a commitment to audio excellence. It establishes new benchmarks for realism, depth, and control and embodies the future of dynamic loudspeaker design.
