Magico S5 Loudspeaker (2024)

Magico S5 Loudspeaker (2024): A New Benchmark in Sound Precision and Elegance

Marking Magico’s 20th anniversary, the 2024 release of the S5 loudspeaker takes the celebrated S Series to new heights. Building on the pioneering design of the S3, the S5 introduces a larger, more advanced package that expands its performance envelope without sacrificing the S Series’ signature elegance.

Key Features

• Precision Engineering for Pure Sound: The S5 is crafted with exceptional attention to detail, aiming for an acoustically neutral cabinet. Using a Polytec Laser Vibrometer, Magico precisely measures the cabinet’s micro-vibrations, ensuring no sound coloration is added. Coupled with the Klippel Near-Field Scanner, which evaluates the 3D acoustic profile, the S5 achieves a remarkably accurate multi-way loudspeaker response, delivering pure, undistorted sound.
• Advanced Driver Components:
  • Tweeter: The S5’s 28mm tweeter, derived from the M Series, incorporates a diamond-coated beryllium diaphragm and a neodymium-based motor for ultra-low distortion and high power handling. This results in crystal-clear high frequencies, revealing intricate sonic details.
  • Midrange: The S5 is equipped with a 6-inch midrange driver featuring a Nano-Tec Gen 8 cone. Its construction combines an aluminum honeycomb core with graphene-reinforced carbon fiber skins. This construction, alongside a pure titanium voice coil and dual neodymium magnets, offers exceptional midrange clarity and fidelity.
  • Woofer: Twin 10-inch woofers, each with a 5-inch titanium voice coil, deliver powerful, undistorted bass. The Nano-Tec Gen 8 cone structure and extended movement capabilities provide low-frequency depth and power rarely matched outside of Magico’s designs.
• Sculpted Aluminum Cabinet for Acoustic Integrity: The S5’s newly curved and shaped aluminum enclosure, refined through 3D modeling, minimizes internal resonances while enhancing rigidity and damping. This increased internal volume (31% larger than previous versions) supports deeper bass response down to 20Hz with the same sensitivity. The front baffle’s curvature also reduces diffraction, resulting in a cleaner, more immersive soundstage.
• Elegant Finishes and Premium Support System: The S5 is available in twelve high-end finishes—six Softec and six High Gloss options—and offers both durability and luxury aesthetics. The three-foot support system, crafted with constrained-layer damping, further enhances sonic performance, combining elegance with superior stability.

The S5 loudspeaker embodies Magico’s commitment to innovation and acoustic purity, setting a new standard in high-performance audio for audiophiles worldwide.
