The Magnat Transpuls series pays homage to the iconic loudspeakers of the 1970s and 1980s: large enclosures, high efficiency, powerful bass drivers, and a design that immediately catches the eye. At the same time, Magnat relies on modern engineering—optimized magnetic drivers, rigid paper cones, and low-resonance MDF constructions.
Two models in this series stand out in particular:
- Transpuls 1500, the massive 3-way floorstanding speaker for maximum live dynamics
- Transpuls 800A, the active compact solution with plug-and-play convenience
