The Penaudio Charisma is a high-end two-way stand-mounted loudspeaker featuring a 20 mm ferrofluid textile dome tweeter and a 120 mm special treated midrange/bass unit with a 26 mm voice coil and heavy copper rings to reduce distortion. It has an acoustical 3rd order crossover at 5500 Hz and a frequency response of 80 Hz to 25 kHz anechoic, with in-room response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. The nominal impedance is 8 ohms (minimum 7.9 ohms), and sensitivity is 85 dB/1m/2.83 V, requiring an amplifier power of 30 to 200 W. The cabinet dimensions are 140 mm wide, 240 mm high, and 285 mm deep, weighing 7 kg. The Charisma is magnetically shielded and reflex-loaded for enhanced bass response. It is designed and manufactured by Penaudio Ltd in Jyväskylä, Finland, and is praised for its natural instrument voice and high resolution, making it suitable for both stereo and home theater applications. The speaker is recommended to be used with quality amplifiers to avoid distortion and damage.
