MAGICO INTRODUCES ITS NEWEST S-SERIES LOUDSPEAKER,
THE S3



Magico, the leader in high performance loudspeaker design and
manufacture, is proud to announce the expansion of its award winning SSeries
with the addition of the S3. The S3 is a full range, floorstanding
loudspeaker that offers cutting edge technology and unparalleled
performance at its price. According to Magico CEO and chief designer Alon
Wolf, “By drawing from our technological well and in-house manufacturing
capabilities, we are now able to deliver a remarkable value proposition in
the S3, one which will become a new benchmark in its category.”

The S3 shares the same engineering heritage of its two siblings, the S1 and
S5, and sits squarely between them. As with all Magico loudspeakers, the
S3 is uses an acoustic suspension enclosure, one whose further
refinements include a new uniquely designed sub-enclosure for its
midrange. The polycarbonate enclosure utilizes a combination of advanced
materials as well as a specially developed shape. Both of these features
when combined create the ideal acoustic properties and control for a subenclosure
in a loudspeaker cabinet. Its contoured extruded aluminum
cabinet - the world's largest monocoque enclosure at 16" in diameter with
1/2" aluminum walls - minimizes diffraction effects, internal resonance, anddamping requirements.

Structurally, the S3 is mechanically sound and
without any weak points. A tour-de-force of new technologies, the S3
utilizes the same advanced MB30 Beryllium tweeter and MB390 midwoofer
that Magico uses in the S5, coupled with two newly-developed 8” woofers.
These new advancements contribute towards the S3’s capabilities of
delivering the lowest octave of bass performance combined with both the
speed and accuracy we are known for.

As always, the anticipation is high for any new Magico product release. The
S3 doesn’t disappoint and is a standout performer, with high quality
ingredients, state-of-the-art driver technology, the most mechanically
solid and rigid cabinets, and the most sophisticated crossover network.
The elegant S3 is a gifted precision instrument that is available in over a
dozen different finishes, thus making it able to deliver a bravura
performance while aesthetically fitting in any environment.
