Stealth closed-back planar magnetic headphones
After four years of development, the Stealth sets a new standard for sound quality and ergonomics in headphones. Featuring a completely new 4th generation planar magnetic driver and a unique acoustic system, the Stealth provides an incredibly immersive experience with your favorite music. Dan Clark Audio has not only improved the sound, but also updated the headband design to take a big step forward in ergonomics and comfort.
AMTS Technology
All headphones are affected by high-frequency standing waves that can make their sound sharp, fatiguing, or synthetic. AMTS technology is a patented design located between the driver and the ear. It combines waveguides, diffusion control, quarter-wave resonators, and Helmholtz resonators into a compact design. Diffusion reduces the formation of standing waves, while the resonators act as precision filters to shape the frequency response, smoothing the sound from the midrange to the highest frequencies. AMTS provides high frequencies with smooth, precise, and detailed signal transmission across all genres.
The completely new 4th generation planar magnetic Stealth driver provides the most accurate, detailed sound with minimal distortion. It is 20% larger than the E2 driver of previous flagship models and uses patented v-Planar technology to reduce THD distortion and improve low-frequency response. The diaphragm is made using a completely new system for more uniform and consistent tension, ensuring minimal distortion.
A new approach to sound detail
The planar magnetic Stealth driver provides incredibly low distortion across the entire listening range with levels of detail that have typically been seen in high-end electrostatics. Unlike many headphones where detail is achieved by boosting high frequencies, AMTS Stealth provides resolution free from the tiring emphasis on the high-frequency range that users can get used to. The Stealth 4th generation driver and AMTS technology deliver an amazing balance of delicacy, nuance, and drive, allowing you to discover something new in your favorite recordings.
In terms of soundstage, the Stealth competes with the best open-back headphones, creating a similar picture in terms of width and depth. This sense of space and instrument placement allows the closed-back design of the headphones to "disappear" so you can simply relax and enjoy.
Luxurious design
The name Stealth is closely associated with the design of stealth military aircraft and is taken to the level you expect from the best luxury cars. The subtle red stitching on the leather headband creates the feeling of quilted straps that are not only magnificent but also functional and comfortable. The embroidered Stealth logo adds contrast and luxury to the headphones' all-black aesthetic. The self-adjusting suspension system, without mechanical sliders, correctly positions the headphones on the head.
Comfortable fit
If headphones are not comfortable enough for extended listening, it means the design has flaws. The stylish Stealth ear pads are an extension of the ergonomics of the successful Aeon 2 model with a more comfortable and softer fit. Weighing just 415 g, the Stealth is one of the lightest premium-class headphones on the market. The suede and leather ear pads and self-adjusting headband make the Stealth so comfortable that you can simply lose yourself in your favorite music. Thanks to the innovative folding headband system, the headphones fit into a compact carrying case.
