Solitaire headphones.
Now with XLR and Pentaconn connectors included
T+a's first headphones are called Solitaire P for a reason. As early as 1983, the founder developed T+A's first planar electrostatic sound transducer: the tweeter for the Solitaire OEC active loudspeakers, which are still legendary today. Since then, T+A has used this principle for its high-end loudspeakers. The current Solitaire CWT models use a planar-electrostatic mid-tweeter with a frequency range of more than 50,000 Hz and a sound pressure level of more than 120 dB. The membrane of these sound converters is made from a wafer-thin special film and is driven by a strong electrical field.
Due to the superior properties of such planar sound transducers and 35 years of experience in the development and production of foil transducers, this principle was the only option for T+A for the first headphones. Planar-magnetic sound transducers are very similar to electrostatics, here too the membrane is a thin foil and the drive is provided by a strong magnetic field. It was therefore obvious to develop the first headphones as an open planar system and to build them here in Herford. The decision to first develop a planar magnetostat and only then an electrostat was based on the consideration that a magnetostat can be used more universally because it does not require a supply voltage, as is necessary for an electrostat. Both concepts are ideal for high-end headphones and superior to dynamic concepts.
concept
With every transducer, be it loudspeakers or headphones, the membrane should be driven as evenly as possible. Dynamic systems that work with voice coils can do this to a limited extent. It works much better with planar systems such as electrostatics or magnetostats, because with these two methods the driving force does not act selectively at the point of the voice coil, but is distributed over the entire membrane. The actual sound transducer of the magnetostat basically consists of rod-shaped, high-performance neodymium magnets of different lengths with an innovative pole geometry. These magnets are held in a precisely manufactured, precise holder that ensures that the magnetic poles are positioned with an accuracy of hundredths of a millimetre. The extremely light, only a few µm thick special membrane made of structurally stable high-tech polymer material moves in the precisely linear magnetic field that is created in this way. This membrane carries very light conductor tracks, also only µm thick, which are applied in a complex photo-chemical precision etching process. With this unique technology, an absolutely even drive is achieved over the entire membrane surface. The partial vibrations that are unavoidable with point drives are thus eliminated. The result is sound transducers with enormous dynamics, high peak sound pressure levels and absolutely impressive linearity and freedom from distortion.
