STAX
This storied electrostatic earspeaker company has contributed both cult and mainstream hits to the sphere of audio playback and continues to put out excellent electrostatic earspeakers and driver units that can find a home and almost any budget.
Key Features of STAX Earspeakers
-
Room Acoustic Independence: Unlike conventional headphones, STAX earspeakers are not influenced by room acoustics, which enhances their playback accuracy.
-
Lightweight Design: The lack of air load on the diaphragm allows for quicker transient response, resulting in clearer sound reproduction.
-
Proximity to Ear: The design places the diaphragm close to the ear, allowing listeners to hear every detail of the music.
Technical Advantages
-
Electrostatic Operation: STAX earspeakers use electrostatic transducers which can transmit more audio information in a shorter time compared to dynamic transducers.
-
Low-Mass Diaphragm: The use of a high polymer film diaphragm (less than 2 microns thick) contributes to a lighter design compared to traditional materials.
-
Absence of Magnetic Distortion: Since electrostatic elements do not use magnets, they avoid magnetic hysteresis distortion common in dynamic headphones.
Functionality
The STAX electrostatic transducer setup consists of two fixed electrodes and a lightweight diaphragm that responds quickly to audio signals. When audio is played, the diaphragm moves in response to fluctuating voltages, creating precise sound waves without any time lag.
