{"product_id":"audeze-crbn2-electrostatique-426083","title":"CRBN-ELECTRO","description":"\u003ch3\u003eCRBN2: The Most Advanced Evolution of the CRBN Series\u003c\/h3\u003eOriginating from an initial partnership related to usage constraints in MRI environments, the first CRBN already marked a breakthrough in the electrostatic headphone world by relying on a carbon nanotube diaphragm. The \u003cstrong\u003eCRBN2\u003c\/strong\u003e builds on this foundation and clearly takes it to the next level: \u003cstrong\u003e2nd generation transducer\u003c\/strong\u003e, acoustic load optimization, and integration of \u003cstrong\u003eSLAM technology\u003c\/strong\u003e to reinforce the low end while lowering distortion. The result is a more complete high-end signature, with a wider soundstage, more embodied bass, and an even more evident sense of control on dense passages.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For and What Are Its Uses in Hi-Fi and Studio?\u003c\/h3\u003eThe CRBN2 is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003edemanding audiophiles\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a listening experience that is both \u003cstrong\u003eanalytical\u003c\/strong\u003e (resolution, separation, spatial precision) and \u003cstrong\u003emusical\u003c\/strong\u003e (texture, fine dynamics, credible bass). It is also relevant for \u003cstrong\u003emixing and mastering engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a highly reliable reading of transients, reverberations, and stereo placement, especially for tracking control and low-level detail verification.\u003cbr \/\u003eLike all electrostatic headphones, it requires a compatible \u003cstrong\u003eelectrostatic amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003e580 VDC \"Stax Pro Bias\"\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is therefore designed for a high-end stationary setup (hi-fi system or studio control room), where conversion finesse, power supply stability, and long-duration fatigue-free listening are prioritized.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Technologies and Notable Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSLAM: Deeper, More Tactile Bass Without Losing Electrostatic Speed\u003c\/h4\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSLAM\u003c\/strong\u003e technology (linear and symmetrical acoustic modulator) acts on the acoustic load to \u003cstrong\u003estrengthen the foundation in the low frequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e, while helping to \u003cstrong\u003ereduce distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e and maintain optimal operating conditions for the diaphragm. The result is bass that is more present and physical, with a better-anchored impact sensation, without sacrificing the typical speed and cleanliness of electrostatics.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003e2nd Generation Carbon Nanotube Diaphragm: Micro-Dynamics and Clarity\u003c\/h4\u003eThe CRBN2 relies on an internally manufactured polyimide film \u003cstrong\u003einfused with carbon nanotubes\u003c\/strong\u003e to achieve a \u003cstrong\u003emore evenly distributed electrostatic force\u003c\/strong\u003e. This control improves rendering coherence: sharp attacks, natural decays, readable textures, and excellent tonal stability. The stated frequency response of \u003cstrong\u003e10 Hz to 40 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e illustrates its ability to reach low frequencies while maintaining great openness in the upper spectrum.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePremium Construction: Rigidity, Comfort, and Durability\u003c\/h4\u003eThe chassis combines \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003epolymer acetate\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by a \u003cstrong\u003ecarbon fiber headband\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etop-quality leather\u003c\/strong\u003e elements. This approach targets two priorities: limiting mechanical resonances (to preserve precision) and maintaining constant comfort during long sessions. At \u003cstrong\u003e480 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, the balance and materials contribute to prolonged listening, a crucial point for mastering, editing, or immersive hi-fi listening.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePro Bias Compatibility and OCC Cable: Easy Integration into an Electrostatic Chain\u003c\/h4\u003eThe CRBN2 comes with an attached \u003cstrong\u003e2.5 m\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOCC single-crystal copper\u003c\/strong\u003e cable terminated with a \u003cstrong\u003e5-pin Pro Bias connector\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to work with the majority of \u003cstrong\u003e580 VDC\u003c\/strong\u003e electrostatic amplifiers. Each unit is \u003cstrong\u003ehand-assembled and tested in California\u003c\/strong\u003e, with attention to production consistency, a determining factor for this type of precision
