Magnepan Mini Maggie System

The Mini Maggie System offers high-quality sound from a desktop audio setup, bringing Magnepan's signature fidelity to your workspace. Unlike typical "computer speakers," the Mini Maggie delivers a superior listening experience right at your desk.

Key Features

• Miniaturized 3.7i Technology: Magnepan describes the Mini Maggie satellite as essentially a miniaturized version of the 3.7i midrange and tweeter.
• Full-Range Dipole System: The dipole speaker system includes a dedicated bass panel for a deep, immersive audio experience.
• Compact Build with Quality Components: High-quality construction maintains the signature Magnepan audio fidelity in a compact form.

Design and Build

The Mini Maggie System is essentially a 3.7i in miniature, built for near-field listening at a desk. The two satellite speakers offer clear midrange and treble performance, while the bass panel fits under your desk, delivering full-bodied bass. A short "modesty panel" reduces dipole cancellation and increases deep bass output.

Proper positioning is crucial to unlock the full potential of the Mini Maggie System. Ensuring sufficient space around the speakers allows rear radiation to contribute to a spacious soundstage, while the bass panel performs best with open space behind it to naturally enhance low-end response.

Performance

The Mini Maggie System delivers an expansive and detailed soundstage, making it ideal for critical listening at your desk. The satellite speakers produce rich, clear sound, while the bass panel adds low-frequency impact without overwhelming other frequencies. Magnepan recommends a high-current amplifier that can safely drive a 4-ohm speaker.

Magnepan's product page sets the satellites up with the tweeters on the outside, tilted slightly back on rubber bumpers, with the supplied 1-ohm resistors fitted to balance the treble at close range. Its manual normally favors the tweeters on the inside, so try both and keep the one that images best from your chair.

Technology

The Mini Maggie System utilizes Magnepan’s advanced planar magnetic technology, providing precise and lifelike audio performance. The full-range dipole configuration creates a natural and enveloping soundstage, while the custom-designed bass panel complements the midrange and tweeter, resulting in cohesive audio delivery. The short modesty panel reduces dipole cancellation, deepening the bass and enriching the overall sound profile.

Versatility and Compatibility

Beyond the desktop, the Mini Maggies can also run on stands as a woofer/satellite system. For that use Magnepan recommends two DWM bass panels, with the Minis and the bass panels the same distance from your seat.
