Magna EVO I

The Next Generation of True-Ribbon™ Performance

Some headphones play music—the RAAL 1995 MAGNA EVO I reveals it, blending the breathtaking speed of our true ribbon technology with a richer, warmer, and deeply immersive tonal balance. Handmade in Serbia by RAAL 1995, the MAGNA EVO I represents a major evolutionary step in ribbon transducer technology. By introducing advanced structural innovations, enhanced frequency response tuning, and improved ribbon excursion control, the EVO I delivers an authoritative and deeply natural listening experience designed for the ultimate music connoisseur.

*For those purchasing the “Headphone Only” – This option is for customers who already have a ribbon amplification setup. If this is your first pair of RAAL 1995 True Ribbon headphones, please select either the standard, deluxe, or premium package above.

The Evolution of True Ribbon

The RAAL 1995 Magna EVO I is built around a newly developed dual-ribbon driver configuration designated as the R2e1 system. This architecture marks a significant evolutionary step in ribbon transducer design by introducing a segmented ribbon array that treats different zones of the human ear independently.

The specialized mechanics of this technology operate on several key fronts:

Segmented Ear-Zone Interaction

Instead of projecting a uniform acoustic wavefront across the entire outer ear, the R2e1 motor splits the transduction work between physically distinct front and rear ribbon segments:

• The Rear Ribbon Segment (Acoustic Damping): Positioned directly over the concha (the ear shell) and antihelix, this ribbon is covered with a specialized open-cell hard foam progressive damping layer. This acoustic foam absorbs and moderates upper-midrange and lower-treble energy, actively suppressing bouncing wave reflections in the concha to eliminate sibilance, harshness, and listening fatigue.
• The Front Ribbon Segment (Direct High-Frequency Delivery): Placed directly above the ear canal, this ribbon segment remains completely open and unobstructed. Because the corresponding zone of the ear does not naturally over-amplify high frequencies, treble energy projects straight into the canal to deliver linear, effortless high-frequency extension, pristine air, and the highly resolved micro-detail often described as “diamond dust”.

Excursion Control and Low-End Power

Under the hood, the R2e1 motor implements enhanced ribbon excursion control and power handling. This mechanical refinement allows the pure aluminium ribbons to vibrate safely and precisely over larger physical distances. This structural control allows the Magna EVO I to extend its low-frequency response much deeper into the sub-bass octaves compared to the original Magna, delivering a warmer, thicker, and highly authoritative bass response that carries realistic physical weight and punch.

Next Generation Build Quality

The MAGNA EVO I features our newly developed R2e1 segmented True-Ribbon™ driver, treating different zones of your ear independently to deliver deeper sub-bass authority, rich midrange intimacy, and a completely fatigue-free presentation. By pairing a progressively dampened rear ribbon that tames harsh concha reflections with a completely open front ribbon that projects pristine treble directly into the ear canal, every track is rendered with breathtaking transient speed and sparkling “diamond dust” detail.

Designed for listeners who demand an organic, deeply emotional connection to their music without compromising on reference-level performance
