Legends are, perhaps, sometimes created overnight; products, on the other hand, require a great deal of craftsmanship, knowledge and, above all, experience. Fortunately, we have an awful lot of this at Magnat: Since the company was founded in 1973, more than 40 years have passed in which we have developed, expanded and continued to learn. Today, we are represented throughout the world in more than 50 countries. We incorporate more than four decades of development experience and a great deal of passion into every one of our products. So it´s no wonder that numerous products have carried the Magnat logo over the course of the years which rightly deserve to be described as a “legend”.

1978

The Magnat All Ribbon 10 is ready for the market: It contains a whole range of technical in-house developments and becomes the most widely sold loudspeaker of its class.

1983

Magnat becomes part of the car audio scene: The Magnat Car 5 becomes the first car audio speaker – and a complete success. A 2-way component system with external crossover immediately adorns the cars of the 80s.

1990

King of the road: This is the year of origin for one of the most successful car audio amplifier series ever! The Magnat Classic range becomes a companion to a large number of car hi-fi fans. The Classic 360 model attains undisputed cult status.

1996

The coronation: After many years of development, a speaker emerges at the highest level in terms of technology – Magnat introduces the high-end Vintage 770 speaker.

2001

Magnat sets new standards: At the turn of the millennium, Magnat presents the most elaborate Magnat speaker of all time. The ultimate high-end Vintage 990 loudspeaker remains a unique product in the company´s history up to the present day.

2003

Probably the most powerful home audio subwoofer in the world: Omega 530. Magnat breaks all deep bass records with a very large membrane surface area and acoustic pressure. Sensational power and power reserves give the powerhouse worldwide recognition.

2005

The beginning of a new era for loudspeakers: Magnat bundles its decades of cumulative experience into loudspeaker development and opens a new dimension in sound. A new legend sees the light of day with the Quantum 900 range!

2007

High-end customers are left out at Magnat for the first time: With the RV 1, Magnat commits to retro values – the traditional tube amplifiers of the 60s and 70s are the force behind it. The concept of the RV 1 is being continuously developed to this day – with the RV 2 and RV 3 to follow.

2013

The legend lives: Magnat again makes an impression in high-end speaker construction. Before an international audience at the high-end trade show in Munich, the company presents its latest incredibly accurate sounding state-of-the-art audible signal transducer, the Quantum Signature. The press responded: “The most audiophile speaker in the company´s history!”

2016

High-end goes wireless: With the Magnasphere range, the Pulheim-based company offers a hi-fi system that makes no compromises. Uncompromisingly good sound is combined here with high-quality audio streaming technology, resulting in an absolutely outstanding overall concept.

2017

Magnat presents the new RV 4 hybrid stereo amplifier. The unique hybrid concept with valves in the pre-amp stage (for audiophile sound) and transistors in the power amplifier (for rich performance) is a central element in the design of the RV 4. A large number of inputs, including a phono pre-amplifier, ensure maximum variety of connectivity options. Exceptional: Ther Magnat RV 4 also provides several digital inputs as well as Bluetooth, including aptX.
