Siden det ble så mye skriverier om monocoqkabinetter tillater jeg meg å referere hele artikkelen fra Soundstage network.
California, USA-based Magico announced the release of the new S1 loudspeaker, which complements the S5 that's already part of their S-series line. According to Magico's August 9 press release: "In 2004, the Mini, Magico's first commercial product, set new benchmarks for what can be achieved with two drivers in a sealed enclosure, immediately changing the landscape of the high-end audio industry. Widely heralded as the world’s first 'super monitor' and one of the most momentous loudspeakers in audio history, the Mini placed Magico among the most influential loudspeaker manufacturers in the world. Eight years later, with numerous landmark loudspeakers introduced in the interim, the S1 continues this legacy.
Featuring a uniquely contoured cabinet drawing design cues from the Mini and M6, the S1 utilizes the world’s first monocoque 3/8"-thick, 12” diameter extruded-aluminum loudspeaker enclosure, minimizing diffraction effects, internal resonance, and damping requirements. At only 9" deep and available in an array of Magico's new M-COAT® paint blends, the S1 will fit effortlessly into any listening environment, making it the most versatile and accessible Magico product to date."
The S1 is a floorstanding, two-way design that measures about 43"H x 8.5"D x 9.75"W and weighs about 95 pounds. It features Magico's 1" beryllium-dome MB30 tweeter and 7” M390 Nano-Tec midrange-woofer. The S1's sensitivity is rated as 86dB and the impedance is specified as 4 ohms. The S1's retail price starts at $12,600 USD per pair (depending on finish), making it Magico's least-expensive loudspeaker so far. The S1 will be available in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Som dere ser så var ikke jeg helt nøyaktig, men det er altså spesifisert ved bruk av aluminum. Legger også ved et bilde hentet fra Piega sin hjemmeside, siden de allerede er nevnt, hvor dere ser en rekke ferdige aluminumskabinetter med avstivere inni.
Hvor tykke kabinettene er er jo vanskelig å ane, men vekten av Coax 30 sine 28 kg er en god del under S1 sine 43 kg.
Coax 30 : 111x19x21 vekt 28 kg
S1 : 109x25x21 vekt 43 kg
