Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?


Sounds like a new and innovative approach to a speaker design. The big question is, HOW DOES IT SOUND? Some interesting stuff on their website MANGER, but I'm curious to know the impressions of people who have actually heard one...I didn't make it to the CES this year.

Hi Gregm,

the holoprofiles are a kind of plastic thing which have to be placed on the manger speaker itself. They costs around 400€ per pair.

Advertisment Manger: "Our latest development, the Manger Holoprofile, sets new standards in stereo reproduction. You can finally break free from the limitations of the stereo triangle with our patented sound deflector system."

Here is a link in german, but at least you get an idea and how they look like:

2: Select german
3: Click on "Produkte"
4 :Click on "Holoprofil"
I believe Mangers have been used in PA applications in Germany.
You should find out from your local dealer how Manger has gone about doing this.
Sphere.
Use four Manger drivers per side (for loud rock music) and your ears will close very early because it will sound as dynamic and real as "live" rock music. With other speakers I feel the sound more fuzzy and dynamic contrasts are muffled so the listening fatigue comes a little later.

If I listen to loud music at home, the listening fatigue caused by conventional drivers (Seas Excel 2-way) makes hum, buzz, fizz and other noises in my head.

The same loudness from Manger Zerobox 109 makes only fizz and this effect terminates earlier.

I like my ears so I use Manger.
