Our 66mm Transducer

Our transducers are designed and manufactured at our lab in Reseda California. The RAD-0 utilizes our 66mm transducer and employs a composite diaphragm material with extremely low mass, unique circuit design, paired with an array of 11 N52 neodymium magnets.

The Housing

For as long as we can remember, we’ve dreamed of offering unique, custom creations with an aesthetic worthy of our premium sound. We always loved materials such as micarta and stabilized wood, and we believe we have the vision and skill to incorporate these materials into our designs. Straying from the beaten path, we collect burl, maple, teak, rocks, gems, and any other beautiful item that we can fit into our casting mold. Through determination and finesse, we turn these raw materials into rings, and then we sand and polish them before drilling entry holes for the yokes and input port.

The Headband

After installing a speaker into the housings, we turn our attention to the headband. Weight is always an issue with planar magnetic speakers, so we focus on offsetting the weight with balanced curvature, clamping force and proper placement of perfectly dense padding. The result is the most comfortable planar headphone with the smoothest size adjustment design ever created.

Assembly & Testing

While one half of the team works on the housings, the other half assembles the speakers in small batches and lets them “preburn” at 120dB for a minimum of 15 days to ensure they are ready for our customers to enjoy. The speakers then go through another round of testing and validation to ensure they are within +/-0.3dB for both channels.
