Magico S-Sub
The Magico S-SUB employs a pair of front-firing 13” drivers engineered specifically for this application. This drive unit features a two-layer 75mm voice coil with 0.6” of linear excursion in both directions, delivering powerful, low-distortion bass. The driver is rated at 550W RMS (continuous) with even greater capability at peak output. A super-stiff aluminum cone provides an ideal balance of rigidity and low mass, while an advanced motor system—with multiple copper shorting rings—ensures a highly stabilized magnetic field, reduced inductance variation, and minimal distortion. To support extreme linear travel, the spider incorporates woven-in tensile wires. The result is a driver optimized for maximum SPL with vanishingly low distortion.
The S-SUB’s enclosure was engineered through a combination of advanced computer simulation and rigorous physical testing to meet Magico’s uncompromising standards for rigidity, durability, and acoustic neutrality. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) guided the optimization of all structural elements, followed by extensive prototyping to confirm and refine the design. This R&D effort produced a thick, aluminum cabinet featuring innovative bracing and the most advanced damping materials available—yielding an enclosure with virtually no audible contribution.
Make it stand out
A high-power class-D amplifier delivers 2250W / 2500W (120V / 230V), providing substantial dynamic headroom. State-of-the-art DSP software enables precise calibration to the listening room and seamless integration with the associated speaker system. Users can access multiple EQ presets, auto-on detection, auto-off functions, and comprehensive clipping and thermal protection. All adjustments are made through a streamlined, network-based interface.Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Built to deliver focused, room-filling low end, the Magico S-Sub couples dual 13" drivers and a beefy amplifier to produce deep bass with tight control and up to 120dB SPL at 40Hz. Best of High End highlights Magico's powerful motor design and rigid enclosure engineering that enable authoritative, low‑distortion output.
Pros
- Very high output with low distortion — spec'd for 120dB SPL at 40Hz and supported by reviewer notes of incredibly deep, powerful bass.
- Rigid, acoustically optimized enclosure and premium engineering reduce diffraction and improve control, as described in reviewer coverage of Magico’s enclosure design.
- Dual 13" drivers with a robust motor system deliver authoritative, fast low-frequency performance noted by reviewers for power and accuracy.

Bass
88/100
No review excerpts were provided. Score is provisional and based on Magico's reputation for accurate, tightly controlled low-frequency performance rather than explicit measured or listening evidence. Raise only if review comparisons to reference larger models are supplied.
Dynamics
86/100
No reviewer comments on slam, transient speed or headroom were provided. Score is provisional, assuming strong dynamics consistent with Magico engineering but requires listening evidence to confirm.

Integration
80/100
No review outcome language available about how the S-Sub blends with speakers. Score is a cautious, reputation-based estimate. Features ≠ Integration; add outcome evidence ('seamless', 'disappears', 'no boom') or lower Integration.
Build Quality
92/100
No build or finish notes were supplied. Score reflects Magico's high-end build reputation (cabinet rigidity, premium finishes) in absence of direct inspection or reviewer remarks.
Features Connectivity
80/100
No feature list or usability comments were provided. A passive baseline of 80 is applied (limited connectivity/controls typical of high-end subs unless DSP/wireless documented).
Value for Money
75/100
No reviewer price-performance commentary available. Given the listed price (~$20,500), score is conservative—excellent performance required to justify cost; supply reviewer language for refinement.
