Otto Audeze flat diaphragm headphones

When I saw the brand "Audeze", the first question for many people is: How to read this name? Don't read "O...Di...Z", the correct reading is "O...De...Zi".

Some people may ask: When did this appear? If it is not a friend who has long been concerned about the dynamics of the headset market, most of them think that the headset is still a few old brands. No, no, the Warring States era of the headset market has long come, and there are many brands on the market that people can't call their names. I want to be famous in this age of competing, I have to have real efforts.

Audeze headphones

It was born in 2009, and Audeze from the United States only gained a lot of attention in the professional market and high-end earphone users in just a few years. Not only did it appear frequently in major international exhibition venues, but also every product launched. Caused the market topic.

Signboard technology: planar magnetic sensor

Audeze's current earphones are all earphones, which are different from the dynamic ring units used in most earmuffs on the market. Audeze has adopted Planar Magnetic drivers, and its practical and more popular way is to use "flat" The diaphragm replaces the "moving coil unit". The Planar Magnetic drivers consist of two main components, one is an ultra-thin diaphragm with circuit, and the other is a magnetic array system.

Plane magnetic sensor

From the deconstruction diagram provided by the original manufacturer, the central diaphragm body with a thickness of only 2 micrometers (0.02 mm) is a film with a grid-like metal circuit printed on its surface, and the diaphragm is sandwiched by two magnet arrays on the outside. The diaphragm is not in contact with the magnet array, but is "suspended" between the two.

When the music signal is fed in the current mode, the planar magnetic diaphragm will begin to interact with the magnetic field, causing the diaphragm to move back and forth to generate sound waves. This is the principle of sounding a flat diaphragm. Why should Audeze use a flat diaphragm?

Planar diaphragm with low distortion and good heat dissipation

Compared with the traditional moving coil unit, the flat diaphragm used by Audeze is lighter in weight, so the reaction speed is faster, the distortion is lower, and the unit structure is simpler, which reduces the problem of mechanical distortion.

The heat dissipation capability is also a major feature. When the traditional moving coil unit works, the temperature will be degraded once the temperature is too high, and the heat dissipation area of ​​the flat diaphragm is large, so that the heat of the multi-turn can be easily dissipated, so there is no need to worry about the high temperature.

Key secret: Fazor tuning grid

Another key technology of Audeze is Fazor Technology, which installs two exclusive Fazor tuning grids on the outside of the magnet array to help extend the frequency response at both ends (especially at high frequencies), improve transparency and phase Sexuality makes the audio and video more specific and clear.

The original factory explained that the natural diffusion of sound waves is like the ripple caused by putting a stone in a pond. If two or more stones are put in, the cockroaches will interfere with each other, despite the super near-field listening environment of headphones. The impact of this kind of interference is minimal, but Audeze uses this technology in its current headsets, but in order to pursue the ultimate sound performance. This is the spirit of Hi End.

The new price can be personalized, and the product wiring tends to be complete.

Audeze currently divides the headset into two series. The LCD series includes the flagship LCD-3 and the mid-range LCD-2. Later, it introduced a LCD-X (open) and LCD-XC that are advertised as "easy to drive". (closed). These headphones have been recognized by many high-end headphones players, and have begun to be used by some professional users; but Audeze's LCD series is a high-priced commodity, and consumers are not easy to get close.

At the US Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, Audeze launched the new EL-8 series, which has one closed and open style, but the price has become more amiable. At the same time, Audeze also launched its first DAC. The amp Deckard accepts signals from 16 to 32 bits at the DAC. The sampling frequency ranges from 44.1 Hz to 384 kHz. It can be used as a USB DAC alone or as an amp. Will this be the first step for Audeze to enter the new phase of the brand?
