Magnat Humidor - (NLA-2023) | HiFi HQ Australia

Humidor - Designed & Engineered in Germany

Overview

The Magnat Humidor offers absolute top technology in an extremely compact shelf-top speaker format. High-quality drivers with an aluminium-ceramic sandwich membrane (subwoofer) as well as a special silk dome (tweeter) ensure, in combination with the other high-quality components, a top-class acoustic experience. The Humidor is also very attractive visually, presenting a stylish appearance with its two-tone genuine cedar wood veneer. Meticulous

coordination and tuning, laser-assisted measuring with the Klippel system, high-quality components and a striking, stylish appearance make the Humidor an exceptional speaker that also fits into any living room in a perfectly harmonious way.

Stylish products deserve stylish packaging. We took this basic principle very much to heart when developing the Magnat Humidor: The high-end 2-way shelf-top speaker combines the highest quality components, balanced acoustic tuning and unique design in a harmonious way. Its stylish body made of sturdy MDF wood is covered with a two-tone genuine cedar wood veneer. This means that the Humidor clearly enriches very room, not only acoustically but also visually.

efficiency. All of the internal wiring is of a large gauge to guarantee low-loss transmission of the audio signal. The high-end connecting terminal expertly rounds of the Humidor with its solid metal support plate and the gold-plated, acrylic varnished screw terminals.

STYLISH ENCLOSURE FOR HIGH-END TECHNOLOGY

The Humidor not only produces outstanding sound, it is also very attractive visually. The sturdy MDF enclosure ensures resonance-free reproduction and is covered with a stylish, two-tone genuine cedar wood veneer. Added to this is an attractive solid-metal sound guide for both speaker chassis as well as an inlaid solid-metal logo on the top of the enclosure. All of the metal elements, including the connecting terminal, are presented in a fine champagne shade to match harmoniously with the wood colors.

COMPACT FORMAT, STRONG SOUND

The Humidor has a markedly compact shelf-top speaker format: With dimensions of just 140 x 245 x 258 mm, it is at home in just about any living room surroundings. The compact design is quickly forgotten, however, as soon as the Humidor starts performing: The precise treble ranges, clearly intelligible mid-range as well as the precise, strong bass foundation show impressively what modern technology and experience can achieve. To this end, the Humidor has opted for a high-quality aluminium-ceramic subwoofer. This high-end- material combines optimum rigidity with high internal damping. The Magnat Airflex bass reflex port provides for additional bass without any flow noise. Used as the tweeter is a silk dome with a particularly wide surround to improve the dispersion characteristics over 20 kHz. Both the tweeter and the subwoofer are driven by extremely powerful magnet systems. Together, the chassis duo ensures the highest sound precision and convincing dynamics over the entire frequency range.

PERFECT SOUND THANKS TO COMPUTER-OPTIMIZED MEASUREMENTS USING THE KLIPPEL SYSTEM

Responsible for the perfect sound of the Humidor are the high-quality components as well as the precise coordination and tuning. The shelf-top speaker has undergone an elaborately complex and time-consuming development process. During this, all the components were adjusted and improved in a large number of individual steps, also with the help of the high-precision Klippel laser measuring system. With the help of this, the subwoofer, in particular, was optimized to such an extent that it extracts an impressive bass foundation from the compact enclosure with high level stability.

HIGHEST QUALITY COMPONENTS FOR INCOMPARABLE MAGNAT SOUND

The high-quality design and construction method is continued in the Humidor down to the smallest detail. The crossover was phase and amplitude optimized in the complex development process and fitted exclusively with selected components. For example, the coil of the deep bass branch is of a low impedance design in order to achieve the absolute maximum bass and This meticulous development, the decades of experience gathered by our engineers and the high-quality components have combined to create an exceptional loudspeaker in the form of the Magnat Humidor: High-end in the smallest of spaces with a stylish wood design.
