[Semi-open housing carved from solid black walnut] The solid black walnut housing allows you to enjoy the beautiful grain and natural texture of the wood, allowing you to enjoy a natural sound that is pleasant to listen to, from rich, solid bass to clear, expansive high frequencies.
[4th-generation RP driver] RP Technology's full-field drive planar diaphragm driver, developed over 50 years of refinement, now features a new, more powerful magnet sandwiched between the diaphragm and a newly designed printed coil pattern to expand and uniformly distribute the vibration area of the planar diaphragm. Furthermore, the magnetic circuit components have been completely redesigned to optimize magnetic flux distribution, suppressing unwanted diaphragm resonance and achieving sharp response for the rise and fall of sound. Developed by fully incorporating a variety of technologies cultivated over the years, this 4th-generation driver simultaneously achieves improved sensitivity, smooth frequency response for easy monitoring, and excellent transient characteristics. By delivering accurate and delicate reproduction from deep bass to high frequencies, the driver delivers even greater precision in positioning and sound field reproduction than ever before. As always, we ensure reliable quality through in-house manufacturing in our own factory.
[Y-cable with independent left and right connections allows for easy re-cabling.] Both the left and right housings are equipped with connectors, and the newly developed Y-cable connection is used. The 2-pole 3.5 mm connector improves re-cabling compatibility and versatility. The cable uses high-quality OFC conductors. A separately sold balanced cable (φ4.4: ET-RP4.4BL2Y) is available.
[Comfortable ear pads] The ear pads feature a low-resilience, around-ear design for a comfortable fit, even during extended listening sessions. You can also choose to purchase optional Toray Ultrasuede ear pads (EX-EP-RP-SUEDE), which are soft to the touch and offer a smooth, high-quality sound from deep bass to high frequencies.
[Accessories] φ3.5 mm (2-pole) mini plug x 2 (L, R) ⇔ φ3.5 mm (3-pole) stereo mini plug cable (2 m) x 1, φ3.5 mm → φ6.3 mm stereo phone conversion connector x 1, Safety Instructions
[Note] The housing is made of solid natural wood. Therefore, each piece may have different grain, texture, color, and knots, but this does not affect the sound quality in any way. Thank you for your understanding.
