E3<\/strong> combines meticulous tuning and state of the art engineering to achieve our legendary \u201copen-back listening experience\u201d in a closed headphone. Meticulous tuning and engineering integrate our patent-pending Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) with an all-new 5th generation driver to achieve a listening experience that is not only incredibly musically accurate it\u2019s also astoundingly fun!<\/p>\n E3<\/strong> delivers the kick of mule when called upon to rock, yet teases out the finest nuances of your most detailed recordings. Naturally E3<\/strong> is as comfortable as Dan Clark Audio\u2019s<\/strong> other headphones; Dan Clark Audio\u2019s<\/strong> signature self-adjusting headband and ergonomics simply make extended listening a joy. By unleashing top-of-the-line sound and comfort at midrange prices, Dan Clark Audio<\/strong> has set a new standard in headphone value, making E3<\/strong> one of our most exciting projects to-date by bringing uncompromising TOTL performance to a much larger audience.<\/p>\n A critical feature of E3<\/strong> is the enhanced AMTS tuning system, previously found only in our TOTL multi- award winning Stealth<\/strong>, Expanse<\/strong>, and Corina<\/strong> headphones. E3<\/strong> not only brings this ground-breaking technology to a more affordable headphone, it does so with a new mode of implementation. All headphones are subject to high-frequency standing waves which can make treble sound harsh, fatiguing, or synthetic.<\/p>\n AMTS is a patent pending inline device placed between the transducer and ear that integrates waveguides, diffusion control, and resonators into one compact structure that eliminates standing waves while giving us complete control of the high-frequency response profile.<\/p>\n Dan Clark Audio\u2019s<\/strong> AMTS tuning architecture is \u201cnot one size fits all,\u201d it is custom tuned for each headphone to deliver an optimized experience for each transducer.<\/p>\n For E3<\/strong> we developed a new mode of deployment that departs from prior implementations. We won\u2019t bore you with the details, other than to say that the AMTS in E3<\/strong> delivers an absolutely superbly rendered top-end that will surprise and delight, with a tone that is simply remarkably lifelike. In fact, the new E3<\/strong> AMTS even reduces sensitivity to seal for a more consistent bass experience.<\/p>\n Of course while AMTS renders high frequencies with a refreshingly smooth, accurate, and detailed delivery, bad recordings will probably still sound bad; we\u2019re just humble magicians, not grand-wizards!<\/p>\n E3\u2019s<\/strong> all-new 5th generation planar-magnetic driver delivers the smoothest, richest, and most detailed experience we could create to date. Its innovative diaphragms are made on an all-new tensioning system for a more uniform and consistent performance, lower distortion, and enhanced consistency.<\/p>\n Extensive R&D was spent optimizing E3\u2019s<\/strong> planar driver. New diaphragm materials combined with highly optimized V-Planar knurling deliver a remarkably smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range for levels of detail heretofore found primarily in the top-of-the-line electrostatics, all with an exceptionally easy and fun tonal balance.<\/p>\n Unlike many headphones where \u201cdetail\u201d is created through exaggerated high-frequency energy, E3\u2019s<\/strong> new drivers coupled with AMTS deliver exceptionally high resolution without the fatiguing distortions and rough frequency response users may be used to.<\/p>\n That would be the Dual-Mode Bass Port, yet another Dan Clark Audio<\/strong> innovation for E3<\/strong>.While it\u2019s not unusual to find a bass port on a closed headphone, our ingenious dual-mode port delivers unrivaled control of the bass frequency response, creating a superbly balanced, impactful bass experience that is full of power yet free of bloat or midrange creep.<\/p>\n E3<\/strong> is Dan Clark Audio\u2019s<\/strong> midrange closed-back headphone. E3<\/strong> delivers a stunning level of performance and value, incorporating all the technological and ergonomic achievements of our flagship headphones, but at a more accessible price point. Incorporating an all-new 5th generation driver and our pioneering Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System, or AMTS, E3<\/strong>delivers a true flagship performance, without the flagship cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36405,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[805],"product_cat":[304,384],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-36403","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-dan-clark-audio","7":"product_cat-portable-audio","8":"product_cat-wired-headphones","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/36403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/36403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48893,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/36403\/revisions\/48893"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=36403"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=36403"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=36403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)<\/h4>\n
