HEDD introduces the first full-range Air Motion Transformer headphones. Designed by loudspeaker-veteran Klaus Heinz (Founder of ADAM & HEDD) and build from scratch in Berlin Germany, the HEDD Air Motion Transformer is a unique transducer that HEDD believes delivers a more musical and true-to-the-source audio performance. By squeezing the air out of a multiple Kapton® folds, it allows to move air significantly faster than any traditional dynamic, electrostatic or planar magnetic driver, resulting in a more accurate transient response and stereo imaging. This makes the HEDDphone® suitable for both, music creation and high-end listening.  
 
Technical Data • Open over ear headphone  • Full-range Air Motion Transformer with VVT® Technology  • Up to 3 times the diaphragm size compared to conventional drivers  • Efficiency: 87 dB SPL for 1 mW • Impedance: 42 Ω • Weight: 718 g • Mini-XLR Connector, high quality 6,3mm single ended 2 m cable included • Custom artificial leather earpads  • Hand-built in Berlin, Germany

SPL 's new 16 Channel Mastering Monitor Controller. Today’s mastering studio must be prepared for Dolby Atmos® and Auro 3D® projects. Monitoring up to 16 channels in a quality that is on par with state-of-the-art stereo was hard to achieve – until now.The new MC16 sports the world’s first 16-gang precision potentiometer which was specially designed for SPL.
To seamlessly integrate multi-channel monitoring into a stereo mastering environment we developed a way of pairing the MC16 with our new DMC stereo mastering console. The combination of DMC and MC16 allows mastering studios to work in all current audio playback formats at the same quality level, all without reconnecting any speakers.

​TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik introduced four new direct boxes at AES, including mono and dual models of both active FET and passive designs. The TELEFUNKEN TDA-1 (mono) and TDA-2 (dual) are newly designed active FET direct boxes that employ discrete Class-A FET circuitry coupled with a high quality transformer that provides the perfect balance between clean, high headroom performance and warm, saturated tone.
The TELEFUNKEN TD-1 (mono) and TD-2 (dual) are new passive transformer direct box designs that combine premium quality components with a rugged construction to create a reliable DI with rich, warm character.
In the heart of each new TELEFUNKEN direct box design are custom-wound output transformers by OEP/Carnhill, made in the UK. The circuit boards feature gold-plated traces for maximum conductivity and are hand-assembled exclusively with through-hole components providing a secure and reliable connection compared to common surface-mount technology.The circuits are housed in an extremely durable extruded aluminum enclosure with recessed heavy-duty metal toggle switches to engage a -15 dB pad and ground lift. The rugged construction is virtually indestructible, able to easily withstand the wear and tear of gigging. The simple and elegant design approach delivers a new standard in reliability and performance for direct boxes.

​teenage engineering is proud to present the OD-11 cloud speaker. OD-11 the original stig carlsson OD-11 loudspeaker from 1974 is back forty years after the original launch. as practically all swedes know, booming in the 70’s, the carlsson loudspeakers challenged a whole industry, resulting in hundreds of thousands of swedes replacing their old speakers with the stig carlsson signature ’ortho acoustic’ loudspeakers. never before had their frank zappa album sounded so good. the reason was stig's invention, designing his speakers for real homes instead of damped laboratory rooms. by directing his speaker elements upward, towards the ceiling, he was able to widen the listeners ’sweet spot’, which allowed people to move around their rooms and still experience great natural sound.
