Audeze announced CRBN2, an electrostatic headphone that features Super Linear Amplitude Modulation (SLAM), a new proprietary acoustic technology for enhanced bass response.
The patent pending acoustic system is designed to enhanced “selected” low frequencies while improving phase response. SLAM is described as being “unmatched,” and capable of delivering a “physical and lifelike” bass response unmatched by other electrostatic headphones.
Audeze CEO Sankar Thiagasamudram added the following statement about CRBN 2, and SLAM.
With CRBN2, we’ve pushed the boundaries of electrostatic technology even further, introducing our new SLAM system to deliver the most lifelike bass and transparency ever achieved in an electrostatic headphone. Our goal was to create an immersive experience that truly brings music to life leveraging the audio innovations Audeze is known for.
In addition to SLAM, Audeze confirmed CRBN2 will be hand-assembled and tested in California by electrostatic specialists. It will utilize a suspension headband strap, weighs 480 grams, and will feature premium materials like premium leather earpads.
Attendees of CanJam SoCal 2024, which takes place this weekend, will be able to experience CRBN2 in person. While I have not heard CRBN2, I heard CRBN sometime back, and was impressed by the sound quality.
Those interested will be able to purchase CRBN2 for $5,995 from Audeze direct. Please note, CRBN2 requires an amplifier with an electrostatic output using a 580VDC bias (Stax Pro Bias).
