RAAL 1995 Magna

Make no mistake, Magna is not a detuned, compromised version of Immanis. Magna is ideal for those seeking authenticity of timbre, scale & proportionality in mid-size and smaller ensembles, regardless of genre.

String quartets, piano trios, singer/songwriter, classic jazz and blues, all presented with stunning clarity of space, while kicking like a mule, when the music calls for it. Light weight and comfortable for many hours of enjoyment, Magna does it all with uncompromising audio excellence.

Superior Craftsmanship

The Magna weighs 530g and is made of a 10 cm diameter fiberglass-aluminum composite with a hard-waxed American walnut veneer and an anodized finish. The grille on the back of the driver is made of etched 3-phase stainless steel, the bracket is made of titanium aluminum nitride and brushed stainless steel. The skin side of the headband is padded with non-slip suede and the head width adjustment has a five-position grid.

Magna is designed to provide a luxurious and comfortable listening experience. The memory foam ear pads are covered with lamb suede on the inside and perforated leather on the outside. The round ear pad opening is thoughtfully designed to comfortably accommodate larger ears, ensuring long-lasting listening comfort. For connectivity, the headphones utilize standard 3.5 mm TRRS sockets, offering wide compatibility with high-end cables and audio sources.

The twin ribbons on the Magna are made of corrugated aluminum with a viscous damping skin made 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 socket).

Ribbon Current Drive Interface

The Magna requires a special amplifier that can handle the almost non-existent resistance of the headphones. A special interface in the form of a headphone stand has been developed for the new Immanis and Magna, which, together with a special cable, enables connection to a “normal” headphone amplifier.

The Magna can of course also be connected to an existing TI-1a/b/c, HSA or VM (Direct Drive Amplifier) interface.
