Unparalleled Electrostatic Speed and Performance
The Mini Shangri-La exemplifies electrostatic speed and performance. These headphones feature a nano-thickness diaphragm that enhances frequency response and overall sound quality due to its light vibration characteristics.
Advanced Diaphragm Coating
A nano particle coating on the diaphragm ensures accurate conductivity and stability, even in varying temperatures and environments. This innovation contributes to a deep and expansive soundstage, providing an immersive listening experience.
Superior Protection
Another distinctive feature of the Mini Shangri-La headphones is a nanometer protection layer. This layer shields against humidity, dust, and other pollutants while remaining transparent to sound waves, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
Cutting-edge Amplifier Design
The matching all-solid-state amplifier eschews the transformer commonly used in other models to boost low voltage output, which often distorts details and overall sound quality. Instead, the Mini Shangri-La voltage is directly sent from the power output transistors, resulting in a clean and uncluttered signal path.
Enhanced Power Supply and Filtering
Rounding out the amplifier is a linear power supply and a discrete filter system for further filtering of distortion and other anomalies. Additionally, it features a fully balanced design in both the input and output stages, ensuring the highest fidelity sound reproduction.
