ARCHITECTURE OF THE ISODYNAMIC® HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER

HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER ADVANTAGES

Combines two independently shaped voice coils within the same diaphragm delivering more selective acoustic performance to the various areas within the structure of the ear.

ACCURAT E REPRODUCTION 
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.1% in the whole frequency range

LIGHTWEIGHT  
Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions            

ERGONOMIC SHAPE 
Ergonomically shaped driver structure with an increased active area

ULTRA-HIGH-R ESOLUTION AUDIO 
Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000 Hz

ULTRA EFFICIENT 
100db@1mw/1kHz High performance without needing amplification

AUDIBLE BENEFITS OF A DUAL DRIVEN SYSTEM

One of the problems with conventional planar magnetic arrays is coming from reflected signals entering the ear canal with different time delays, thereby worsening the focus of 3D sound imaging.
Combining different voice coil configurations makes it possible to create a better sound intensity distribution across the sound wavefront at high frequencies when directed at the auricle and ear canal.
