Magnepan has released a new video promoting its latest speaker offering – the LRS, or “Little Ribbon Speaker.”

Magnepan, who have been making loudspeakers in the USA for 47 years, announced the LRS entry-level speaker a couple of months ago.

The video, one-minute forty-one seconds in length, is a spoof of the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme, and presents the LRS speaker as a powerful visitor to this planet.

The video was created for Magnepan by long-time Magneplanar speaker fan and award-winning Director Joe (“Mama”) Mason, whose directing work includes House of Cards, Blue Man Group, and other work seen on Amazon Prime Video.

”This was a fantastic opportunity for me to create something for a speaker brand I have long admired,” said Director Joe Mason. “Of course, it was a natural pairing to match an iconic film with an equally iconic speaker brand.” Wendell Diller, Magnepan Marketing Manager agreed. “I have been marketing Magneplanars for 47 years. This video captures the ‘Otherworld’ experience that so typifies the reaction of consumers to first hearing the music they love from a flat panel,” said Wendell.
