The tweeter dome has a diameter of 25 mm and is driven by the proven, powerful ferrite magnet. Below are two 170mm speakers. One serves the all-important vocal range as a bass-midrange speaker, while the second is designed purely for reproducing bass frequencies. The use of materials really makes an impact here – the Monitor Reference series floor speaker extends to a frequency of 28Hz. Nevertheless, the 5A has a slim visual appearance and can therefore be placed in any living room environment. There is even more amplifier power here: Each channel has 60 watts of continuous power (or 120 watts of peak power). An HDMI input, Phono preamplifier, Bluetooth® with aptx® Low Latency, as well as analog and digital connections complete the configuration here as well.
Magnat Monitor Reference 5A Black – Active speakers with a timeless look and high-tech configuration
Good speakers are essential when it comes to playing high-quality music. But what if these speakers also incorporate the necessary electronics, such as the Magnat Monitor Reference 5A Black Series They not only make listening to music a real pleasure, but also ensure easy and intuitive operation. Instead of having a range of technology, all you need to do is turn on your TV, smartphone or tablet and it’s ready to go. Of course, there is also a connection for turntables, which are becoming increasingly popular again, as well as all the other devices used to provide image and sound in our homes.
Fully active stereo speakers like the Monitor Reference now offer everything you need in terms of inputs, which are far more than just a few years ago. Bluetooth® connectivity allows smartphones, tablets and computers to connect quickly and easily, but most importantly wirelessly. Whether you’re playing games, watching YouTube or listening to any streaming service – you can enjoy the right sound in optimal quality in no time because Bluetooth® (version 5.0) is integrated with aptx® Low Latency. The name reveals that the sound is played without any delay, which is especially important when watching movies and series.
All signals are simply transmitted from a TV to speakers via the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC), and the same goes for everything connected to the TV. Regardless of whether you are using a set-top box or a game console, once the corresponding input is selected on the TV, movies, series and games are played in full sound. And thanks to CEC, i.e. control over the HDMI port, you can easily control the volume using your TV remote control.
Of course, the active loudspeakers of the Monitor Reference series are also equipped with our most tested components. Besides, we don’t want to make any compromises when it comes to sound. The proven 25 mm tweeter dome with its radiation-optimized sound has already been proven in various other series. Mid and low frequencies are reproduced by 125 or 170 mm speakers, with the larger model complemented by a 170 mm pure woofer. The low-resonance paper cones are driven by powerful, magnetic systems optimized to avoid distortion.
The amplifier, which is built into one speaker, operates with low distortion and highly efficient Class D technology to provide – depending on the model selected – between 25 and 60 watts of continuous power (RMS) and between 75 and 120 watts peak power – of course per channel. High-quality crossovers ensure the optimal balance between the individual chassis. Thanks to phase optimization, the sound emitted by all speakers reaches the listener at the same time. The supplied remote control allows you to easily select the desired input and volume. They can also be adjusted via the practical buttons on the back of the speaker.
If we’ve made the decision super easy for you so far, you now have to choose between three different sizes. The Magnat Monitor Reference 2A is available in bookshelf speakers. The Reference 3A is another compact but even more powerful model, and the 5A offers the desired mix of materials in a floorstanding speaker. When it comes to color choice, the decision is easy as the REFERENCE series is only available in a classic black finish.
