Titan 15
Whether listening to the lowest pipe organ note at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City or the earthshaking steps of a dinosaur in the movie Jurassic Park- the TITAN 15 is designed to reproduce low frequency sounds with realistic force and energy. Setting a new benchmark in powered subwoofer design, the TITAN 15 features a sophisticated control center, dual-opposed force cancelling driver arrangement with a massive, sealed aluminum enclosure. This superlative subwoofer design extends beyond the bandwidth of human hearing (>20Hz) into infrasonic levels and expands the dimensional sound field in any room space with unparalleled low bass performance.
Driver
The newly developed 15-inch driver in the TITAN 15 is optimized to deliver maximum output levels (136 dB) while minimizing music related distortions at 20Hz (>1% THD). The mechanics, electromagnetic and thermal behavior of the driver are optimized without compromise to ensure extremely high-level performance. The incredibly stiff aluminum cone is formed with an optimized stiffness to weight ratio and includes a 4-inch high-temperature voice coil attached to a custom tooled 10-inch dual progressive spider which facilitates 1.6-inches of linear travel in each direction. Each driver has a massive motor system which can handle 3200-watts of continuous power and features a super stabilized magnetic field with multiple aluminum shorting rings to stabilize inductance and minimize distortion.
Enclosure
The enclosure design of the TITAN 15 follows the QSUB design platform and uses innovative internal bracing along with advanced damping materials. The thick aluminum sealed enclosure has been carefully designed and evaluated both in simulation and physical testing to meet the no-holds barred approach of Magico when it comes to enclosure rigidity, stability, and minimum acoustical contribution. A dual-opposed, force-cancelling design reduces the motive force inside the enclosure substantially. FEA software is used in the design process to optimize the structural elements and meet all acoustical standards defined by Magico engineering.eakers.
Extreme Pressure
Due to the enormous sound pressure buildup, the pliable walls of typical enclosures absorb a tremendous portion of the energy generated by the drivers, leading to distortion and massive group delay (smearing). The Titan can reach an internal sound pressure level of up to 175dB - the equivalent of a commercial jet at takeoff - with less than 1% displacement of common enclosures.
Amplifiers
The TITAN 15 includes two powerful 2,400-watt Class D amplifiers governed by a state-of-the-art electronic crossover and DSP control center designed by Magico that enables the user to precisely calibrate and match the TITAN 15 subwoofer to the main L/R loudspeakers and listening room. System integration and operation is enhanced with multiple inputs, 3-presets, auto signal detection, auto shutdown, clipping sensor and thermal protection. A new signal processing is done in 32 bit floating point on an Analog Devices Sharc DSP and uses dual range ADC for high dynamic input range. DSP functionality includes IIR X-Overs and EQs and many other features. An advanced limiter concept protects speakers and prevents amp and PSU overheating. A touch panel shows level meters, limiter operation and allows switching presets.
