Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing Magus one of the finest monitor loudspeakers ever made.
We hope that magic of Magus will reveal the best of your music collection and provide
many listening pleasures for years to come. It’s all about music after all.
eresonic Magus monitor speakers are designed to produce the most natural sound of exceptional
clarity and levels of detail, neutrality and stereo imaging that are beyond anything else in their category.
That is accomplished using unique and very advanced acoustic design, the finest components and
materials available, and by avoiding every unnecessary component or gimmick that can introduce
sound coloration, interference or distortion leading to musical reality of a concert hall or a jazz club
transferred to your listening room.
New life for your music yet perfectly natural
Every sound source in nature is “punctual” radiating sound waves around them whether it’s a violin, a
trumpet, or a human voice. Teresonic speakers follow that basic design rule of the Nature. Conventional multi-
driver designs are based on the idea that it’s fine to divide up the frequency range to be reproduced by using a
crossover to assign parts of the frequency range to different drivers. This introduces multiple interfering sound
sources (speaker drivers in the cabinet) which lead to complex and unpredictable cancellations and
reinforcements between sound waves leading to sound coloration, and distortion. In addition, musical
instruments or human voices reproduced by multiple sources, each source (driver) with its own location,
timing and resonances, creates lack of “coherence”.
This lack of coherence in multi-way speakers creates a problem for the human ear as it tries to identify the
stream of musical data and send it to the brain to compose many elements into a perceptual whole that we
experience as music. While the human brain is incredibly capable, the parts that do not fit well alert the brain
that there is something wrong – and this can cause listening fatigue. This is often an issue, even with high-end
multi-way systems.
Teresonic single-driver design using full range, very high-efficiency drivers, provides natural sound with a
wealth of detail, coherence, exceptional dynamic range and a sense of musical “aliveness” that you seldom hear
elsewhere.
