24k Gold Edition
While Brass made for perfect housing material for the acoustics, it did not quite convey the fine richness of its audio output. Thus the RE800 24k Gold Edition has been electroplated to give it a lustrous sheen that befitted the golden, rich audio inside.
The Topology Driver
HIFIMAN's utilization of advanced depositional technology and research makes for a driver unlike any other in the world. With the creation of Topological, Nano scale layer application technology, upon a driver diaphragm, allows for the manipulation of sound wave creation like never before. No other Driver technology allows for such control and precision resulting in clarity, detail and nuance such that it can best the worlds most complicated multi driver set ups but with non of the coherency and crossover issues.
What is a "Topology Diaphragm"?
The "Topology Diaphragm" or "Topology Driver" refers to the diaphragm with a special Nano particle coating applied to its surface. The distribution of the coating has distinct geometric patterns. By varying the surface pattern, compound used, the thickness or geometric pattern sound wave formation can be manipulated to achieve the desired audio effect and control.
Armature's Inadequacies
The inadequate soundstaging produced by Balanced Armatures is caused by the way sound waves are formed by armature's multiple wave reflection and diffraction in the driver, which can cause high levels of distortion. Therefore, armature based IEMs have little breadth and yield a sound flat and without emotion.
The Diaphragm Distortions of Dynamic Drivers
Traditional dynamic drivers can produce frequency response alteration due to distortion and vibration across the diaphragm surface.
The Ideal Dynamic Driver
The Topology diaphragm structure used by HIFIMAN greatly reduces the uncontrolled diaphragm distortions, enabling the operation performance of dynamic IEM's to an approach to an ever superior, trend towards perfect wave control.
User-Replaceable Cable Design
The new user-replaceable cable with MMCX connector is carefully selected for its performance characteristics and notably its low cable capacitance. This all translates into a more exacting and clean upper frequency range performance. Graciously smooth yet shimmering and scintillating.
