Ophidian Launches 2nd Gen M-Series Loudspeakers
British manufacturer Ophidian has launched the 2nd generation of their M-series compact loudspeakers. All three models, Minimo, Mojo and Mambo are back and have been completely revised from the ground up.
The original M-series garnered positive reviews from Hifi Pig and the new M-series 2 speakers the 27mm fabric dome tweeter from SEAS, Norway remains while all three models now utilise a larger 4.5″ (115mm) mid-bass driver up from the 3.5″ (90mm) model in the previous generation.
AEROFLEX
The new mid-bass driver features a coated paper cone with 65% greater surface area than the older model and features a 1″ (25mm) 4-layer voice coil kept cool by an aluminium former. A large magnet and powerful motor system coupled to the unique AEROFLEX bass loading topology is also a feature.
Cabinets
Newly redesigned cabinets built in Sheffield, England now feature removal magnetic grilles for a cleaner front look. The Minimo 2 retains the ability to wall mount for surround setups.
The Mambo 2 floorstander features a hidden third bass driver that augments the output from the two front mounted drivers for output potential more akin to that of a much larger speaker.
Crossover
All three models utilise crossover components from famed German manufacturer Mundorf and feature air cored coils for the critical midrange crossover and non inductive resistors throughout.
With only modest increases to cabinet sizes the new M-series 2 speakers are available in either Oak or Walnut real wood veneer finishes.
