The Magnat Monitor Reference 2A model has a 5-inch mid/bass driver with which it produces up to 35 W per channel and an inch dome tweeter operating in the range up to 40 kHz. The stated lower frequency limit for the Magnat Monitor Reference 2A models was 38 Hz.
The active speaker system Magnat Monitor Reference 2A has a two-channel class D amplifier with a total power of 75 W and other electronics in the left column. The manufacturer has tried to equip the acoustics with all interfaces for working with modern signal sources. As for the finishing options, Magnat has promised that there will be no problems with the choice: Magnat Monitor Reference 2A is available only in classic black, with a matte front panel and textured veneer.
Magnat Monitor Reference 2A has an HDMI input with support for Audio Return Channel (ARC) and CEC function. All signals are sent from the TV directly to the speakers using Audio Return Channel (ARC) over the HDMI cable. The same applies to other components connected to the TV. It could be a satellite/cable TV receiver, a game console or another device – but as soon as you select the required input on the TV, the sound in movies, TV series or games takes on the full frequency range. And with CEC, which provides system control via HDMI, you can adjust the volume using your TV’s remote control.
The usual analog and digital inputs are also not forgotten. Digitally, the Magnat Monitor Reference 2A acoustics receive signals with a resolution of up to 24 bits/192 kHz. In addition to the usual linear signal, the analogue is also represented by the input of the built-in phono stage for MM cartridges. In the wireless version, Magnat Monitor Reference 2A speakers will be able to use the built-in Bluetooth 5.0 module, and support for the aptx Low Latency codec will allow you to watch videos without desynchronizing the audio track.
