The Stealth is Dan Clark Audios flagship closed back headphone. The striking matte black and red design offers a teaser of its stunningly smooth, rich, and spacious sound. It offers great isolation and theproprietary Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) works withthe all-newfourth generation driver to create a huge, wide-open soundstage. Theself-adjusting headband and emphasis on ergonomics make extended listening extremely comfortable.

Patent-Pending "Room" Tuning

All headphones are subject to high-frequency standing waves which can make treble sound harsh, fatiguing, or synthetic. DanClark'sAMTS is a patent pending inline device placed between the transducer and ear. It integrates waveguides, diffusion control, quarter-wave, and Helmholtz resonators into one compact structure.

Diffusion reduces some standing wave formation while resonators act as both precision and broad filters to smooth and shape the frequency response, smoothing the sound from the midrange through the highest frequencies. The result if thathigh frequencies are rednered with a refreshingly smooth, accurate, and detailed delivery across all genres.

Fourth Gen Drivers

Stealth's all-new 4th generation planar-magnetic driver delivers the smoothest, richest, and most detailed experience. It is 20% larger than the E2 driver and usesDan Clark'spatented v-Planar technology to reduce THD and improve low-frequency extension. These diaphragms aremade on an all-new system for a more uniform and consistent tension, lower distortion, and better matching.

This highly engineered planar driverdelivers incredibly low distortion throughout the listening range with levels of detailexpected fromtop-of-the-line electrostatics. Unlike many headphones where detail is created through exaggerated high-frequency energy, Stealths AMTS delivers this resolutionfree from fatigue and harshness.

Your New Favorite Band
