ast year Dan Clark Audio brought us one of their biggest releases – Stealth . These premium closed-back headphones have become one of the brand's most raved about products and now they are set to follow up the Stealth with the new Expanse headphones . Just as Stealth set a new standard for closed-back headphones, Dan Clark aims to do the same with open-back headphones. Here's how Dan Clark aims to implement this idea.
The all-new 4th generation planar magnetic driver and revolutionary AMTS acoustic metamaterial tuning system are designed to deliver stunningly smooth sound, adding new depth and breadth to all your favorite music. AMTS combines waveguides, diffusion control, quarter-wave resonators and Helmholtz resonators into one compact structure to eliminate standing waves, significantly improving system performance.
