Posted by Chester Group Humphrey • 17th September, 2014 08:20Be the first to experience superb performance, natural audio, and absolute luxury found only in the new Ultrasone Edition 5 headphones, by visiting the National Audio Show on the 20th and 21st of September 2014.
Ultrasone’s approach to design and unrivalled experience has set them aside from every other headphone company. They are not only known for their beautiful and luxurious Edition series, but they are also the first choice for many professionals who choose Ultrasone for their reproduction qualities, uncompromising comfort and their unique and innovative technologies.
10 years after the birth of the Edition series, starting with the Edition 7 in 2003, Ultrasone have released a very special, anniversary model that raises the standard of headphones beyond anything seen or heard before.
Introducing the Ultrasone Edition 5 Headphones
The Ultrasone Edition 5 is truly exclusive with production limited to only 555 pairs for the world. Each Edition 5 is hand crafted in Tutzing, close to Lake Starnberg and just north of the German alps. This inspiring location is just one element that is a key influence in creating the worlds most beautifully designed, naturally performing and luxurious headphones.
The Edition 5 is the culmination of 10 years experience, award winning design and a peerless passion. And it is the composition of only the finest materials, premium luxury and unparalleled technology that makes the Edition 5 quintessentially Ultrasone.
One of the new and exclusive elements of the Ultrasone Edition 5 is S-Logic EX®, a revolutionary refinement of Ultrasone’s patented S-Logic technology, which is making its world début in this anniversary masterpiece. This innovation is based on a funnel-shaped arrangement for the sound transducer, oriented downwards to the front, which results in a much more spatial forward positioning soundscape. The listening experience is practically indistinguishable from that of studio monitors, but unlike speakers, is not dependent upon room acoustics. The main purpose of S-Logic EX® technology is to further optimise the already impressive S-Logic effect.
Each Edition 5 ear-cup is hand-made from moor oak, a wood that is hundreds of years old. It’s grain and colour denotes the headphones classic and luxurious quality. The ear-cups are finished with a wafer-thin, laser etched aluminium logo, and protected with no less than 7 layers of varnish further enhancing the natural beauty of the materials. This craftsmanship renders each Edition 5 a unique and highly desirable work of art.
For the ear-pads and the headband pad, Ultrasone has turned again to Ethiopian long-haired sheep leather, assuring absolute comfort. As well as being the finest available, it also delivers unequalled isolation of any known leather.
The Edition 5 series is of course also equipped with MU-metal shielding to reduce radiation.
Particular care has also been taken with the accessories. The included flexible 99.999% OFC 1.8m and 4m cables are detachable and fitted with only the best professional grade Neutrik connectors.
The exclusive storage case for your Edition 5 also includes a brushed designer headphone stand produced from high-grade stainless steel.
