Both models are of course been ready for a test-drive in our headphone studio.

The decision regarding the power amplifier is still pending however we will certainly find a suitable solution here as well. Our acoustically transparent 4K-projector screen – with a width of 3.5 – will be remaining as is, apart from a fabric re-newal.
