RAAL 1995 Magna

 

Magna is not a watered-down version of Immanis, offering unmatched authenticity in timbre, scale, and proportionality for mid-size and smaller ensembles.

Whether it's string quartets, piano trios, singer/songwriter, or classic jazz and blues, Magna will deliver crystal clear audio and powerful bass when needed. Despite its feather-light design, Magna is comfortable enough for all-day listening, truly excelling in audio quality.

 

Superior Craftsmanship

The Raal 1995 Magna (R² dual true-ribbon driver) has a weight of 530g and features a 10 cm fiberglass-aluminum composite with a hard-waxed American walnut veneer and an anodized finish. The rear grille is constructed of etched 3-phase stainless steel, while the bracket is made of titanium aluminum nitride and brushed stainless steel. Additionally, the headband is padded with non-slip suede and has a five-position grid for width adjustment.

The Raal 1995 Magna (R² dual true-ribbon driver) features ear pads made of memory foam, lamb suede, and perforated leather to provide a luxurious and comfortable listening experience. The round ear pad opening is designed to accommodate larger ears, ensuring long-lasting comfort for the listener. With standard 3.5 mm TRRS sockets, the headphones have wide compatibility with various high-end cables and audio sources.

The Magna's twin ribbons are crafted from corrugated aluminum and are coated with "Silent Metal," resulting in a combined surface area of 16.8 cm². With a potential excursion of ±4 mm, maximum sound pressure level of 115 dB, and an impedance of 0.038Ω (0.27Ω for the 1.8 m long S2 headphone cable with XLR4 socket), this product is an expertly designed true-ribbon driver.
