The MAGELLAN range offers this essential ability that allows the object to contribute to the refinement of the living space without becoming tedious.

In this limited edition, TRIANGLE introduces a magnesium alloy dome for a better transition to the midrange driver. Combined with the patented horn tweeter technology, this new transducer brings out all the details of the upper harmonics.

HIGH QUALITY CROSSOVERS & COMPONENTS

The Magellan 40th crossovers are assembled in our production facility and use only high-quality audio components selected after many hours of listening:

• French MKP capacitors developed in collaboration with SCR Audio.
• Ceramics resistors with low induction effect.
• Large section air core coils.

These new components provide this 40th anniversary edition a very high definition over the entire sound spectrum The particularity of the crossovers in the Magellan range lies in the use of very steep cut-off slopes (up to 24dB/Octave), correlated with the natural cut-off slopes of the loudspeaker’s transducers, thus guaranteeing excellent phase response.
The crossovers used reduce the risk of delays. The loudspeakers’ natural frequency responses were modified digitally for a perfect match with its crossover’s transfer function. Furthermore, the drivers’ impedances were linearized so they act as a pure resistance, reducing the amplifier’s workload.

AUDIOQUEST CABLE

Striving to obtain the best possible results, the internal wiring of the Magellan 40th is developed in partnership with the prestigious manufacturer AUDIOQUEST. The selected cable uses a carefully balanced blend of long grain copper (LGC) and high purity perfect surface copper (PSC) which improves clarity. LGC has fewer oxides in the conductor material, fewer impurities, and fewer grain limits than standard OFHC copper. This new internal wiring gives this 40th Edition an optimal, detailed listening experience with a dynamic but controlled bass.

TERMINAL

To enhance the crossover of this 40th Edition, TRIANGLE had to offer a connection plate that would live up to the work done. The terminal is manufactured in a block of aluminum, reaching a thickness of 11mm. The terminals are made of pure copper then gold plated for a perfect electrical conduction. It allows for bi-wiring and bi-amplification. On the floorstander models, the crossover is done on separate boards for the bass and the medium/high. To do this, you just need to remove the jumpers. Note that the terminals are designed to accommodate a bare audio cable, or a cable mounted with banana plugs or forks. The serial number on the terminal highlights the exclusive character of this exceptional product.

HIGH-DENSITY CABINET AND ARCHITECTURE - SOLID WOOD CABINET

The design of the enclosure is crucial to the sound quality, and the cabinets of the MAGELLAN 40TH anniversary edition have been carefully designed to ensure total inertia. The curved shape of the cabinet is made of successive layers of high-density fiberboard, each 3mm thick, thus excluding any internal parallels. This cabinet is characterized by a specific architecture resulting from a thorough study of the vibrations and micro-deformations of the cabinetry. Reinforcements have been placed strategically to make sure the cabinets are rigid enough to withstand the powerful vibrations generated by the drivers at high volume levels.

TZ2900PM-MG TWEETER WITH A MAGNESIUM DOME

A major innovation of this 40th anniversary edition, the TZ2900PM tweeter is equipped with a next generation dome in magnesium alloy. Providing a remarkable rigidity to weight ratio, this new dome allows a notable improvement in terms of linearity and consistency.
Superb piece of engineering, the TZ2900 tweeter is one of the keystones of the Magellan program. It brings out all the details of the upper harmonics. Modelled through computer simulation, the dome has an ideal profile that significantly limits off-axis high frequency directivity. Together with the phase plug, this pairing allows the frequency response to be linearized.
We also added a counter-cap to the motor to reduce rear waves reflections, limit distortion and improve the frequency response in the upper end of the sound spectrum. The TZ2900PM-MG tweeter provides an exceptionally smooth and fluid musical quality whilst ensuring accurate sound reproduction.

MIDRANGE DRIVER WITH A PAPER DIAPHRAGM

TRIANGLE has always focused its research on one of the key factors in music reproduction: the accuracy of the midrange. The T16GM F100 represents the culmination of many years of experience and research. This electro-dynamic transducer capable of covering – with the least distortion and the best possible linearity – a frequency band from 70 Hz to 4 kHz.The research conducted on the T16GM F100 focused on the shape of its suspension, called “S”, made of textile fibers treated with latex, and on the modelling of the profile of the exponential type diaphragm made of pure cellulose fiber. The combination of these two elements ensures an accurate musical reproduction without any coloration.
With an ultra-light anti-vortex polypropylene cone covered with a latex damping material to limit end of band irregularities and a motor resulting from a thorough study of the profile of the tip of the cone and its LHS2 system, the T16GM F100 is a reference in this register.

BASS WITH SVA TECHNOLOGY

TRIANGLE aimed to develop a speaker in the extreme low register with a relatively low distortion rate despite high listening levels. The driver features a proprietary SVA diaphragm. This computer-modeled composite diaphragm is characterized by a ‘sandwich’ structure, composed of a double sheet of fiberglass with a cellulose pulp internal structure. It provides the ideal combination of mass damping and rigidity to the moving coil. The driver thus handles strong impulses without distortion. The motor, designed to reduce the total overvoltage coefficient, reaches extremely low frequencies. The specific profile of the polar parts combined with the quality of the metals allows the development of a powerful and homogeneous magnetic field, guaranteeing a linear movement of the coil. The bass driver has a thermal transmitter covering the back of the cylinder head (LHS2). This heat sink allows an optimal heat transmission to the external structure of the driver, thus improving the power handling of the transducer.

“WIDE-VENTING” CONCEPT
In a bass-reflex speaker, at high power levels, conventional tube vents tend to create airflow disturbances resulting in “breathing” noise. To solve this problem, we designed internal and external bell-shaped adapters inspired by wind tunnel construction to ensure a constant laminar airflow. This controlled ventilation system reduces distortion, and the bass now has depth and power.

STAND AND SPEC SYSTEM
The SPEC system developed by TRIANGLE is the result of a research inspired by musical instruments such as the cello. This instrument has a resonance box vibrating at certain frequencies. To give it more support, the manufacturers have decided to connect it to the ground by a single point of connection, a part of the energy is thus directly led towards the ground. TRIANGLE’s approach for the loudspeaker is the same. So, we decided to put three quarters of the speaker on a base. However, for the system to be highly efficient, it was necessary to insert an interface made of an inert polymer between the base and the cabinet. From then on, we could consider that the enclosure was almost completely isolated mechanically from the floor. We only had to capture a large part of the vibrations of the enclosure and its energy on the remaining front quarter and transfer it directly to the ground. This principle combined with the SPEC system eliminates any transmission to the ground.
