Etter å ha fullført en betydelig oppgradering av S-serien de siste årene, så har Magico nå vendt blikket mot A-serien. Første oppgraderte modell i A-serien er 'A3 2027' som vil være leveringsklar i 1. kvartal av 2027.
Nye A3 er utviklet ved bruk av de samme måleverktøyene som de anvendt for Magicos flaggskipsmodell M9 (bl.a. en Klippel NFS og et Polytec laservibrometer). Resultatet er et dramatisk forfinet kabinettdesign og NanoTec Gen 8 drivere spesielt utviklet for bruk med A3 2027. Magicos nyeste utgave av ESXO-delefilterteknologi er også tatt i bruk med state-of-the-art komponenter fra tyske Mundorf, komponenter som sørger for større effekthåndtering, gjennomsiktighet og flytende lyd.
Her er Magicos pressemelding:
HAYWARD, CA (USA) // October 1, 2026—Magico, the global leader in high-performance loudspeaker design and manufacture, is proud to announce the A3 2027 loudspeaker.
The A3 has been reborn.
When the original A3 arrived in 2017, it changed what a Magico loudspeaker could be. For the first time, the engineering, the materials, and the sonic performance the company was known for became obtainable by a far wider audience. More listeners have come to Magico through the A3 than through any other model in the company’s history.
Nine years later, Magico has returned to that loudspeaker and refined every element of it. The A3 2027 is a three-way, four-driver floorstanding design developed with the same measurement instruments that produced the M9. New cabinet. New drivers. New crossover. Nothing was carried forward simply because it had worked before.
Measured Against the Flagship
In developing the A3 2027, Magico deployed the state-of-the-art measurement tools first used to create the M9—the most ambitious loudspeaker the company has ever built.
A Laser Vibrometer measured the vibration of the cabinet panels and calculated the soundpressure levels they generate. With that data in hand, engineers could target bracing and damping precisely where the structure demanded it, and then verify that the intended result had genuinely been achieved rather than assumed.
A Near-Field Scanner (NFS) robot was used to optimize the A3’s acoustic output, performing multiple measurements across the entire 3D sphere surrounding the loudspeaker. The result is a complete view of on- and off-axis response, and a level of data and verification that pushes the A3 2027 closer to the optimal result than could be achieved with the original A3.
Engineered Silence
The A3 2027 incorporates constrained-layer damping (CLD)—a technique proven highly effective throughout the S Series—inside an enclosure whose bracing and bolt placement were structurally fine-tuned against measured data. Where a brace lands and where a bolt clamps proved to have a major effect on the noise a cabinet radiates.
The outcome is a dramatically quieter structure. The result is less of a cabinet-borne signature when compared with its predecessor.
Form and Finish
The A3 2027 offers a dramatically refined exterior presentation. Seen in profile, the loudspeaker has no hard corners. Every vertical edge is radiused, the top plate rolls into the sides, and the enclosure construction carries no visible fastener—a single uninterrupted surface broken only by the drivers themselves. The enclosure sits on a precision-machined base mirroring the same radiused geometry, supported by footers custom-designed for the A3 2027. It is an improvement in both respects: less diffraction at the edges and a more sophisticated presence in the room.
The A3 is also no longer a two-finish loudspeaker. Its cabinet panels are bead-blasted and anodized—a treatment that gives the aluminum a fine, even, satin texture and a finish integral to the metal itself rather than applied over it. Four colors are offered: black, silver, red, and blue. The result is a loudspeaker that looks as considered as it measures.
A3 Cone Technology
The defining change from the previous A3’s drive units is the cone itself, realized through new manufacturing techniques that make this cone technology available for the first time in the A3. The midrange and woofer cones are built around aluminum-honeycomb cores offering ideal thickness, light weight, and the ability to be formed into custom shapes—sandwiched between carbon-fiber skins. The result is groundbreaking performance in every category, with distortion and IMD pushed even lower.
Driven by Engineering
Every drive unit in the A3 2027 is new. Each was designed, modeled, and built for this loudspeaker.
The tweeter achieves high-frequency reproduction unheard of at this price point. Its pureberyllium diaphragm employs an optimized geometry with a 28mm dome diameter. The motor system delivers low distortion along with greater power handling; a new neodymiumbased motor was customized to the A3’s dynamic capability, with extra-long linear movement of the voice coil. Careful FEA modeling and the latest generation of damping materials further improve the acoustical performance of the back chamber.
The midrange is 5 inches in diameter and uses the latest Magico cone technology. It employs a newly formulated, long-life foam surround as part of its suspension mechanism, achieving excellent cone-to-surround integration, fast settling time, and ultra-low distortion figures. A new motor system provides a super-stabilized magnetic field, a pure titanium voice coil, and pure copper shorting rings to minimize eddy currents. It is a next-generation midrange that sets a new benchmark of measured performance at its price point.
Bass comes from a pair of 7-inch units utilizing the same new cone geometry as the midrange. Each employs a motor system with a super-stabilized magnetic field, a pure titanium voice coil, and pure copper shorting rings to minimize eddy currents. The bass units were optimized for minimal music-related distortion across their passband in both the frequency and time domains, using state-of-the-art FEA simulation. Acoustic, mechanical, electromagnetic, and thermal behavior were analyzed on a single platform, taking optimization to the next level.
Coherence by Design
The A3 2027’s three-way crossover is implemented as an acoustical-target 24dB Linkwitz-Riley slope, delivering maximum frequency and phase linearity while keeping intermodulation distortion minimal. Driver resonances are controlled using Magico’s
Elliptical Symmetry Crossover techniques. The network uses a full complement of state-of-the-art components from Mundorf EB GmbH of Cologne, Germany—components that deliver greater power handling, transparency, and liquidity.
Refined, Without Compromise
Rarely does a company return to its most attainable floorstanding loudspeaker, carrying the full weight of its flagship research. Magico has done exactly that.
The measurement tools of the M9. New cone technology exclusive to the A3. A dramatically refined cabinet design. All of it, concentrated into the loudspeaker that has always been the way in. Refined. Rethought. Realized. The Magico A3 2027 is here.
