STAX D1003 Ultra-Portable Electrostatic System

Description

D1003 System

This entry-level, ultra-portable electrostatic headphone system D1003 from STAX is a great way to get started in the world of mobile electrostatic audio.

System includes 1 x SRM-D10 Driver unit, and 1 x SR-003MK2 Earspeakers.

Due to the extremely thin and light diaphragm membrane, often only a few micrometers thick, and the complete absence of moving metalwork, the frequency response of electrostatic headphones usually extends well above the audible limit of approximately 20 kHz.

The high-frequency response means that the low-midband distortion level is maintained to the top of the audible frequency band, which is generally not the case with moving coil drivers. Also, the frequency response peakiness regularly seen in the high-frequency region with moving coil drivers is absent. Well-designed electrostatic headphones can produce significantly better sound quality than other types.

SRM-D10 Driver Unit

The SRM-D10 is the world’s first compact electrostatic amplifier / DAC. The built-in high-resolution DAC is capable playing up to DSD128 files.

SR-003MK2 In-Ear Earspeaker

The SR-003MK2 is a 5-pin PRO bias type in-the-ear earspeaker. The redesigned ear canal type structure enables you to enjoy excellent electrostatic sound quality without covering your ears.

STAX

Founded in 1938, STAX brought the world's first electrostatic headphone to market in 1960. Today they continue their long tradition by offering the finest audio products for both professional and audiophile applications.

All STAX headphones are referred to as "earspeakers" - the company states that such ultra-high fidelity devices can only be compared with the best cost-no-object loudspeakers, not other headphones. Their unique amplifiers, earspeakers and drivers are highly sought-after products, and extremely well considered by aficionados in the audio industry.

Unilet Sound & Vision are one of the oldest STAX dealers in the UK, and one of the very few official outlets stocking their products. Do get in touch with us if you would like to audition the range, or need advice or assistance with choosing the right system for your needs.
