The Quad ERA-1 headphones feature breakthrough technology to deliver an unparalleled listening experience. Unlike traditional headphones that use mass-produced drivers, the ERA-1 utilizes Quad's advanced planar magnet technology. This innovative technology delivers a more natural and precise sound, ensuring you can hear every fine detail of a musical performance.
The outstanding aspect of the ERA-1 lies in its ultra-thin, electrically active diaphragm. This diaphragm is thinner than a human hair, yet extremely strong and highly elastic. As a result, it weighs less than the volume of air it displaces. Precisely integrated with a carefully positioned magnet system, the ERA-1 maximizes sensitivity and even force distribution across the entire driver range.
Another remarkable feature is the patented non-linear vibration suppression technology. This ensures that the extended frequency response of the driver is reproduced without distortion, providing outstanding clarity. The metal cavity behind the driver has been specifically designed for optimum acoustic performance. In addition, the ERA-1's drivers are precisely matched to ensure impressive spatial and three-dimensional stereo imaging.
With the Quad ERA-1, you are immersed in a world of sound where you can experience every single musical detail. The outstanding planar magnet technology, ultra-thin diaphragm and carefully tuned drivers make these headphones a must-have for audiophile enthusiasts looking for an unadulterated and immersive listening experience.
The QUAD ERA-1 headphone stand is the perfect addition for any audiophile looking to display their headphones in style and security. With its elegant design and high-quality materials, this stand is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
The headphone stand is made of a sturdy aluminum alloy that ensures high stability while being light enough to easily place on your desk, sideboard or bedside table. The carefully crafted design ensures optimal balance to keep your valuable headphones securely in place
"The Closest Approach To The Original Sound"
Since 1936, these words have been the cornerstone of the QUAD philosophy. More than just a slogan, they emphasize the company's commitment to producing the best audio equipment capable of reproducing all the elements and emotions of a live music performance.
Throughout its history, QUAD has been responsible for many groundbreaking products, but none is as famous as the ESL - the world's best-known electrostatic flat-panel loudspeaker, a technology invented by QUAD founder Peter Walker. QUAD has used its experience with electrostatic speakers to develop its planar film diaphragm headphones - the ERA-1. To ensure a natural sound in keeping with the company's heritage, QUAD's engineers developed a planar magnetic drive film that offers fast, open and transparent performance, similar to the famous ESLs.
Most headphones use mass-produced dynamic cone drivers, whose limitations can hinder transient response and cause an uneven frequency response. For the ERA-1 - the company's first headphones - Quad developed a planar magnetic driver. The resulting sonic realism and fidelity to the source are fully in keeping with the brand's heritage. QUAD's state-of-the-art planar magnetic technology delivers a more natural and precise sound, allowing every detail of the music reproduction to be heard.
