NEXT-GENERATION
OPEN-BACK CIRCUMAURAL, VENTED FRONT CHAMBER
TRUE-RIBBON R² DUAL-DRIVER
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.
Requisite Audio is proud to be the exclusive North America distributor of the RAAL 1995 next-generation, multi-driver, true-ribbon headphones – IMMANIS and MAGNA.
We welcome your call/email to learn more about these very special instruments of personal audio.
