The 40 mm voice coil is driven by a 42 mm magnet structure.
Ergonomic Ear Cups: Innovative, ergonomically designed ear cup frame is crafted of Leona, an ultra-lightweight, non-resonant material with titanium like strength. Stainless steel mesh protects the transducers. Both contribute to wearing comfort and acoustic performance.
Damped Headband: The metal headband is 'sandwiched' between several layers of resonance dampening polymers to eliminate unwanted vibrations from being transmitted to the headphone mountings and ear cups.
Luxurious Ear Cushions: High quality, easy to maintain and durable microfiber ear pads provide extreme comfort ensuring hours of listening pleasure.
Ring Radiator Transducer: The patented 56 millimeter ring radiator transducers are the largest dynamic driver used in a headphone. It delivers rich, full sound and reduced distortion by effectively controlling the oscillating surface.
Two Cables Included: Two impedance matched, low capacitance cables are included, one terminated with a 6.3 millimeter connector, the other with 4-pin XLR balanced to take full advantage of balanced output capability of amplifiers like the HDVD 800.
