It uses 2 ribbon elements rather than the 3 ribbon elements used in IMMANIS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAGNA is positioned for listeners who want the speed, low moving mass, and tonal directness of a true-ribbon headphone in a lighter dual-ribbon design. Its presentation is described as especially well suited to mid-size and smaller ensembles, including string quartets, piano trios, singer\/songwriter recordings, classic jazz, and blues, where timbre, scale, and spatial clarity are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open-back construction and vented front chamber support an open, spacious presentation, while the dual-ribbon motor is intended to provide fast transient response, clarity, and dynamic impact. MAGNA is also designed for long listening sessions, with a lighter and more comfort-focused physical design than the larger IMMANIS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeadphones:\u003c\/b\u003e MAGNA in a hard molded case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRibbon Current-Drive Interface \/ Stand:\u003c\/b\u003e RCD Interface 32 ohm (8 ohm and Viva by request)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCable, Amplifier to RCD Interface:\u003c\/b\u003e RCD-XLR (XLR4 to XLR4), 1.5 m (4'11\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCable, Headphones to RCD Interface:\u003c\/b\u003e Satis Copper, 1.8 m (5'11\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeadphones:\u003c\/b\u003e MAGNA in a hard molded case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRibbon Current-Drive Interface \/ Stand:\u003c\/b\u003e RCD Interface 32 ohm (8 ohm and Viva by request)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCable, Amplifier to RCD Interface:\u003c\/b\u003e RCD-XLR (XLR4 to XLR4), 1.5 m (4'11\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCable, Headphones to RCD Interface:\u003c\/b\u003e STAR-8 MkII Pure Silver, 1.8 m (5'11\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeadphones:\u003c\/b\u003e MAGNA in a hard molded case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRibbon Current-Drive Interface \/ Stand:\u003c\/b\u003e RCD Silver Interface 32 ohm (8 ohm and Viva by request)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCable, Amplifier to RCD Interface:\u003c\/b\u003e STAR-8 Pure Silver RCD-XLR (XLR4 to XLR4), 1.5 m (4'11\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCable, Headphones to RCD Interface:\u003c\/b\u003e STAR-12 Pure Silver, 2.9 m (9'6\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMotor\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/b\u003e Complementary Tuned Dual Ribbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRibbon Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Corrugated pure aluminum true ribbon with Viscodamp™ “Silent Metal” viscosity dampening\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSurface Area:\u003c\/b\u003e 16.8 cm² (2.6 sq. in.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExcursion:\u003c\/b\u003e ±4 mm (0.157\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/b\u003e 115 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.038 ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImpedance with Specialized HP Cable:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27 ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRibbon Current-Drive Interface (RCDI-32, RCDI-8)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurpose:\u003c\/b\u003e Converts low impedance of headphones + cable (0.27 ohm) to impedance usable to amplifiers (32 ohm and 8 ohm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/b\u003e Toroidal transformer + specialized headphone cable (SC2, S2 Satis, STAR-8, STAR-8 MkII)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrive Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Converts voltage drive from amplifier to current drive for ribbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSupported Amplifier Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Voltage drive amplifiers with low internal output impedance and DC offset less than 10 mV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImpedance that Loads the Amplifier:\u003c\/b\u003e 32 ohm nominal (8 ohm and Viva by special order)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Amp Power, RCDI-32:\u003c\/b\u003e Headphone amp of 2 W–6 W or loudspeaker amp of 8 W–25 W at 8 ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Amp Power, RCDI-8:\u003c\/b\u003e Loudspeaker amp of 2 W–6 W at 8 ohm (SET or similar low-power amps for loudspeakers)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHeadphone Body\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Glass fiber composite, aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Anodizing, hard wax on American walnut veneer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrille:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-phase etched stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadspring:\u003c\/b\u003e Brushed stainless steel with TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) hard coating;
