    TOP-QUALITY SOUND ELEMENT

    The SR-009 hand-selected thin-film diaphragm as well as fixed electrodes machined through three-layer stainless etching using heat diffusion has been employed for the SR-L700 sound element. Thus, rich deep bass response, delicate high frequency and soothing mid-range have been achieved in a balanced sound.

    LOW CAPACITANCE WIDE HYBRID CABLE

    6NCu high purity 99.99999% copper wires are employed for the core wires plated in silver coating. The whole cable uses the conventional wide format parallel structure to lower the capacitance between each wire and finished with the most suitable structure to drive the Earspeaker.
