Raal 1995 Magna
Raal 1995 Magna
A next generation, open-back circumaural, vented front chamber true-ribbon R² dual-driver: Magna.
What is it about?
Make no mistake, MAGNA is not a detuned, compromised version of IMMANIS.
MAGNA (dual-ribbon) is ideal for those seeking authenticity of timbre, scale & proportionality in mid-size and smaller ensembles, regardless of genre. String quartets, piano trios, singer/songwriter, classic jazz and blues, all presented with stunning clarity of space, while kicking like a mule, when the music calls for it.
Light weight and comfortable for many hours of enjoyment, MAGNA does it all with uncompromising audio excellence.
MAGNA PACKAGE SET
- Headphones: MAGNA (dual-ribbon)
- Ribbon Current-Drive Interface / Stand: RCD Interface 32 Ohm (8 Ohm & Viva by request)
- Cable (Amplifier to RCD Interface): RCD-XLR (XLR4 to XLR4) 1.5m
- Cable (Headphones to RCD Interface): Satis Copper 1.8m
- Case: Waterproof Hard Molded Plastic / Foam Lined
CAUTION:
As this is a ribbon type headphone, it needs a special type of interface that can either be bought together with the headphone (That doubles as a headphone stand), which allows you to connect it to any type of headphone amplifier afterwards. Should you have such an interface already, you can just buy the headphone with a cable of your choice, copper or silver.
