Neat Majistra

Neat Majistra: standmount loudspeaker with ribbon tweeter

The Majistra combines what Neat learned with the Ministra and with its Ultimatum XLS flagship in a standmount of contained size: it plays delicately when needed and with the drive of a full-range system when the music asks for it, from the subtlest acoustic detail to full orchestra.

Ribbon and isobaric loading

The tweeter is a true 60 mm ribbon. Below it are two 170 mm mid/woofers in an isobaric arrangement: one is visible, the other sits inside the cabinet and works in tandem with the first, so bass goes deeper and stays controlled. The baffle is decoupled from the cabinet, and the crossover is pared down and wired by hand.

Construction

Like every Neat it is hand-built in northern England, then tuned by listening rather than by instruments alone: the stated aim is the rhythm and naturalness of music, ahead of the numbers.
