The dramatic importance of the subwoofer in a cinematic environment cannot be underestimated. Unlike listening to music, where infra-low frequencies (ILF) are rare, cinematic special effects would literally have to shake the air to physically get through to you, bringing the scale of the overall spectacle from the screen.

For the deepest immersion in the sub- and infra-bass range, MAG Cinema designed its legendary THOR, which has practically become the standard for the reproduction of low-frequency cinema effects down to 18 Hz with unsurpassed sound pressure. But for all its undoubted advantages, the MAG THOR has dimensions that are not always compatible with the home theater format. That’s why we’ve done our research to give home theatre fanatics the same incredible experience in more compact spaces.

This is exactly how the MAG Theatron Hammer-15 was born. Its specially shaped housing, with a capacity of 90 liters, and a depth of only 12 inches, easily allows for a slick installation, even behind the screen. This subwoofer features a custom-designed, professional 15-inch woofer that delivers extremely high sound pressure levels with minimal distortion at the lowest frequencies.

The lightweight yet rigid multi-layer speaker cone offers the very highest level of performance. The 4″ high-temperature voice coil provides minimal dynamic compression. An Nd-Ferrite hybrid magnet system with aluminum closed rings is used to stabilize the inductance and minimize distortion.

The body of the Hammer-15 subwoofer has a slim depth, which truly offers flexible installation options. Internal struts significantly increase the rigidity of the box and eliminate the risk of unpleasant resonances. The large-area bass-reflex port prevents turbulence noise, even at maximum SPL output levels.

The technical characteristics are particularly promising. With a power of 1000 W and a max SPL of 128 dB, the Hammer can deliver what most subwoofers (up to 21″ models) in its class cannot. At a frequency of 20 Hz, the SPL level is 119 dB. This means that the specified range from 18 Hz is not a formality (as is often the case with other manufacturers) but is also reproducible and with a high sound pressure level. This could be the deciding factor for those who want to hear everything exactly as it was intended when mixing the soundtracks of top blockbusters in Hollywood studios.

The MAG Theatron Hammer-15 will be available for shipping in April 2023, which means that you can already incorporate this new subwoofer into your upcoming projects to enjoy its top-notch performance very soon. We are very excited about your responses to assess the interest of the market, pre-orders are welcome!

Despite the approaching New Year holidays, the preparation of a truly astonishing MAG Theatron demo home cinema auditorium is in full swing. The full project is carried out by MAG Theatron’s European partner Grobi.tv and Heimkinobau.de, in their new office space, located along the North Sea coast in the lands of Lower Saxony, in the municipality of Wurster Nordseekueste (a little north of Bremen and west of Hamburg).

The project is promising to be loud in every aspect! The dimensions of the room are 5.50m x 10.50m x 3.0m. This will be the full 13.1.10 format specification including Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, DTS-X, and IMAX enhanced. A solid set of acoustics MAG Theatron is used, including 3 x M12, 10 x S8, 10 x CS44, 8 x DB18 Sub, as well as the one and only MAG THOR-24. The screen will be a 4.20m wide Stewart screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a Barco Freya RGB Laser projector.

The acoustic treatment of the property is currently in progress and the completion of the project is scheduled for January-February. We at MAG are extremely eager to measure and test the sound of this home cinema experience on our professional MAG Theatron speakers. Once the project has been completed, we would also like to invite everyone to come and enjoy and listen to the fantastic result.

The Salon de la Hifi & du Home-Cinéma du Luxembourg launched in 2013 and offers an outstanding opportunity to discover and test many new products to get new impressions and stay updated on the latest trends in video and sound for the home. The pandemic caused the event to be canceled for several editions in a row. It’s now finally time to resume, under a new name: the Luxembourg Audio/Video Show.

Despite the ongoing difficult situation in Ukraine, the production of MAG Theatron continues developing & offering new products. Therefore it is very important to be present at thematic exhibitions such as this event, and represent Ukraine with dignity and pride. Thanks to our Belgian distributors benchmark-av.be, we got this opportunity, for which we are very grateful.

Over 15 years ago we started manufacturing professional speakers, and about 10 years ago we submerged ourselves into the world of commercial cinema, achieving tremendous success. Our speakers are found at stadiums and concert halls, and our equipment works at more than 5000 cinema halls including Dolby Atmos and Sphera. This vast experience couldn’t remain the exclusive privilege for professionals and specialized halls, so we have decided to bring it to your homes. This is how MAG Theatron is born.

The main idea is not to create another “Home cinema”. It is to create a real cinema inside your home. We dismissed the path of many famous manufacturers, which is to place common Hi-Fi speakers around the room lacking the ability to reproduce the dynamics and energy of a real cinema. With the experience of the world’s best cinema behind our backs, we set our feet to optimize already existing MAG Cinema speakers for home cinema applications.

We have nurtured this idea for many years. We spent time adapting professional speakers to fit necessary sizes and specifications, worked on the design, created model ranges, tried, listened, and submitted for testing to Western partners, and received excited reviews. And so the first public appearance of MAG Theatron took place at HIGH END 2022 Munich (official).

We are extremely grateful to our German partners from grobi.tv. They believed in us and started promoting us in the European market. They were our first listeners and experts and helped to find the right vector. In the end, it was they who organized the participation in High End 2022 international exhibition in Munich, not only equipping the stand but building the real demo cinema entirely on MAG Theatron. And by the way, the queue to enter the demo room lasted through the entire exhibition! More detail – soon.
