ES Lab EX-1a Electrostatic Headphones

Note: Transit on these headphones generally ranges 2-3 weeks from order placement. High-Performance Electrostatic Design The EX-1a represents ES Lab's latest innovative design, after the flagship ES series.

It's engineered to deliver performance that approaches that of their flagship model, while also having its own strengths and characters. The EX- 1a caters to both electrostatic headphone enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Ultra-thin 68mm driver with copper plate electrodes The EX-la features a 68mm diameter electrostatic driver made of high-grade, ultra-thin Mylar film. 5mm thick.

This provides powerful propulsion for the diaphragm, delivering exceptional bass reproduction and detail retrieval. Each driver is assembled in a clean room environment with hours of inspection work and the strictest contamination control.

Embossed dust screen for lower distortion For the first time in the industry, ES Lab adopts an embossing printing process for the ultra-thin film dustscreens. By applying ultra-light compressions to the film, a matrix of embossed patterns is printed onto the dust screen, which is less than a micrometer thick.

This minimizes distortion while making the dust screen acoustically transparent. CNC-machined metal chassis with vintage-inspired styling The EX-1a employs an all-metal chassis comprised of CNC-machined aluminum alloy, stainless steel frames enclosed in genuine buffalo leather.

Maximum comfort is achieved by reducing weight and creating a slim contour. The retro, classic, yet elegant design of the EX-1a closely resembles vintage audio gear.

Premium lambskin earpads and PC-Triple-C cable options Each earpad is crafted through a complex assembly process using selected genuine lambskin leather. PC-Triple-C Pro Bias cabling with upgrade options The Pro Bias connection of the driver is linked via a 6- core PC-Triple-C copper cable with insulation cladding and gold-plated connectors.

Additional cable options are available upon request. s.
