Description

Solitaire P

Solitaire P represent the first headphones made by T+A. They demonstrate all-new, ground-breaking developments which pushes the magnetostatic principle to the point of perfection. These open-back headphones display no hint of compromise and zero regard for manufacture cost. T+A had only one goal in mind: musical reproduction to the very highest standard of perfection.

Many planar-magnetic headphones exhibit significant inherent disadvantages. These include low efficiency, high weight and very low impedance. From the outset Solitaire P is designed to avoid these problems.

A crucial factor in the solution is taking a new approach to the problems. T+A invest considerable effort in the design, and insist on the use of the finest materials. Solitaire P incorporates several close-tolerance sub-assemblies which fit together perfectly, and can only be manufactured using precision tools. These premium parts consist of high-strength plastics or carbon, and are made to tolerances of a few hundredths-of-a-millimetre, in order to guarantee the perfect fit.

High-performance neodymium magnets are made with an accurately calculated segment shape. As well as being precisely length-matched to suit the oval outline of the diaphragm, this ensures that the magnetic field lines generated have a homogeneous course. No air turbulence occurs, meaning that the airflow remains laminar at all times.

The precise design of the retaining rings and magnet mount ensures the diaphragm position is maintained accurately in the linear part of the magnetic field. This ensures it is able to generate high sound pressures without distortion, and delivers an enormous dynamic range virtually devoid of inertia.

This design also eliminates the need for supplementary opposed magnets, helping to keep overall weight low. The diaphragm is able to oscillate freely in the direction of the ear cushions, since there is no acoustic hindrance between the transducer diaphragm and the ear.

The diaphragm itself consists of a special ultra-thin – thus ultra-lightweight – film, coated with an accurately routed and calculated conductor array whose impedance is around 80 Ohm. The open construction of the Solitaire P avoids the resonance problems inherent in closed-back systems, and allows the diaphragm to vibrate unimpeded.
