WORLD'S FIRST True Wireless Planar Magnetic Earbuds – Featuring Active Noise Cancellation
- 12mm modularized planar magnetic drivers offer uniform performance and provide the possibility of noise cancellation.
- Ultra-thin diaphragm 2μm polymer substrate engineered for fast and accurate transient responses.
- Qualcomm® QCC5181 Bluetooth® SoC with Snapdragon Soundâ„¢ technology suite for efficient processing.
RICHMOND, BC, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Edifier International, the award-winning audio electronics designer, announces the addition of the SPIRIT S10 to its STAX product range. The STAX SPIRIT S10 is the world's first True Wireless Planar Magnetic Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation with Qualcomm® QCC5181 Chipset, providing an excellent sound quality and wonderful, immersive, music listening experience.
The STAX SPIRIT S10 features 12mm modularized planar magnetic drivers that guarantee a uniform, consistent audio performance and the possibility to be used for active noise cancellation. The Planar diaphragm is built on a 2μm polymer substrate with a total thickness of only 10μm – this ensures a good transient response for detailed sound reproduction.
The STAX SPIRIT S10 employs the 2nd generation of EqualMassâ„¢ wiring counter which balances the uneven distribution of magnetic field and achieves equal weight distribution across the diaphragm, so that all parts of the diaphragm possess the same momentum. By adding symmetric supporting wiring, the diaphragm is steadier than the previous generation and can achieve a piston-like motion across the audio spectrum significantly reducing harmonic distortion. Dual layers of magnetic arrays, one on each side of the diaphragm, provide doubled driving force in a push-pull manner for a much-improved efficiency.
Every piece of the earbuds will pass a production-phase auto-calibration process to guarantee uniform final performance.
