Dan Clark Audio EXPANSE OPEN Headphones

Introducing EXPANSE

Dan Clark Audio's new flagship open-back headphone, EXPANSE, sets a new standard in open-back headphone musicality, soundstage, detail retrieval, and comfort. Featuring their all-new 4th generation planar-magnetic driver and their breakthrough Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System, EXPANSE delivers a stunningly smooth presentation to bring new depth and breadth to all your favourite music.

And DCA didn’t stop at improving the sound; they also redesigned their headband to deliver a big step up in ergonomics and comfort!

Headphones are subject to standing waves in the higher frequencies, which can make instruments like strings, cymbals, even vocals sound unrealistic and fatiguing.

AMTS is Dan Clark Audio’s patent-pending inline device located between the transducer and ear. AMTS integrates waveguides, diffusion control, quarter-wave, and Helmholtz resonators into one compact structure to eliminate standing waves, dramatically improving system performance. .

Diffusion elements reduce standing wave formation while resonators act as both precision and broadband filters to smooth and shape the frequency response from the midrange through the highest frequencies.
