Manger W06 Sound Transducer

NEXT GEN MANGER W06 SOUND TRANSDUCER LAUNCHED WITH UPGRADES AVAILABLE

German HiFi brand Manger Audio has launched the next generation of their star-shaped bending wave transducer, the Manger W06.

Over the years, the driver has been repeatedly improved in detail. With the W06, however, after an intensive development and testing phase, as well as countless listening tests, Manger Audio tells us a significant step forward has now been achieved.

MANGER W06 SOUND TRANSDUCER

The optimised motor of the Manger W06 Sound Transducer now has a magnetic field strength of 1.48 Tesla. A new type of damping system in the centre of the diaphragm is designed to reduce distortion between 400 and 1600 Hertz; two octaves in which the human ear is most sensitive.

The new W06 transducer offers an innovative chassis design with a geometrically optimized magnet system, with over 10% higher field strength compared to its predecessor. It has a perfectly controlled diaphragm movement thanks to a new type of centre damper, along with improved linearity, noticeably lower distortion values between 400 and 1600 Hertz and improved micro dynamics.

UPGRADES

All Manger loudspeakers have been delivered with the W06 transducer since the beginning of the year. And Manger owners can have their loudspeakers upgraded. The Manger transducer upgrade costs €685 per driver plus shipping costs.

The sound transducers are handcrafted in Mellrichstadt, Franconia, under clean room conditions. Each individual chassis is precisely measured and subjected to rigorous tests before it is assembled. The manufacturing tolerances are less than +/- 0.5 dB.

All loudspeaker models can be manufactured in all RAL colours, satin, matt or high gloss, and also in high-quality real wood veneers.

HiFi PiG Says: The Manger Sound Transducers are highly distinctive, both in looks and their performance.
