Dan Clark Audio - Noire X

Dan Clark Audio - Noire X  NOIRE X™ updates our iconic AEON 2 NOIRE by integrating DCA’s state-of-the-art Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS™) with an improved driver, all carefully wrapped in a gorgeous ergonomically-enhanced design. NOIRE X’s dramatic black-on-black aesthetic, improved ear pads, self-adjusting headband, and Gorilla Glass 3 clad cups sumptuously hint at the numerous exciting upgrades within, all designed to maximize your listening pleasure. With NOIRE X, DCA sets a new standard in midrange headphone performance, comfort, and value! Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) Perhaps the most important feature of NOIRE X is the addition of DCA’s critically-acclaimed AMTS tuning system, previously found only in our top-of-the-line Stealth, Expanse, E3, and Corina, headphones. Truly a revolution in acoustic engineering, AMTS uses advanced metamaterial design concepts to shape the system frequency response while simultaneously eliminating high-frequency standing waves, which are responsible for the synthetic-sounding high frequencies are found in all too many headphones. By eliminating these standing waves, NOIRE X with AMTS delivers remarkably balanced, nuanced, and airy treble-free of the fatiguing artifacts that diminish your listening experience. Gorilla Glass NOIRE X is a stunning yet understated headphone, from the stitched headband to the all-new Gorilla Glass 3 finish on the cups. Gorilla Glass 3 is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate that makes the glass stiffer and more scratch and break-resistant than conventional glass formulations. NOIRE X’s striking minimalist aesthetic is completed with the tone-on-tone understated NOIRE X logo. Key features include: Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) for unrivaled high- frequency accuracy and resolution. New driver design for improved consistency and reliability Updated ear pads with new features to reduce foam movement within the pad, as well as an Alcantara suede surface where the ear pad rests on the head for improved comfort. Incorporation of our critically acclaimed self-tensioning headband Reduced distortion for improved clarity with a smoother overall sound Fully tuned to be compliant with the Harman curve Folds for easy transport in the convenient included compact carrying case
