HiFiMAN Shangri La - CES 2017

2017-01-11
hello everyone I'm a bum from high five and right now I'm introducing the shangri-la Hetzel system this is a headphone so it's like this have been your cup your pan okay so this is a 50 thousand dollar pension system including the headphone as well as amplifier the it is a natural static headphone which means it cannot be used by regular cell phones or as amplifiers it has to be drived by the electrostatic and finally fires the voltage is very high around 580 to 600 volts why this is so expensive first in sunny weather it's all good I have to say this is the product I meant for myself I'm satisfied with this you know during the previous a couple of years I was looking for a perfect headphones this is what I got the technologies to make it why it's so good there are a bunch of new technologies first is the diaphragm is very thin as nano scale thickness and we deposit the nanoparticles on the surface of the diaphragm to make the conductivity in certain range there is a way it works that is why vibrates in the electron field okay they diaphragm is so staying in light so that the frivolously response can be very high as high as 100 killed first and there's another important technology applied in the headphones there's the steroids the regular stators is a in the other natural steady headphones is like a plate and drill a lot of holes on the surface because it's pretty thick when the Sun waves passing through the skaters there are very harmful reflections refractions something there so we want to minimize those effect so what are we done okay we are crazy wheels the mental wire to make net to be the stator the diameter of their wire is only 50 micrometer very thing even sooner than your here because it is same the high-frequency come 100% puffs rule the stator without any harmful reflection think about the wavelengths of 50 micrometer some wave the we can calculate the frequency equal to 66 megahertz that is why they open why the headphones sound so open the sunset is huge and the detail is so much though now we talk about amplifiers so this is a monster that we've a very big there are eight vacuum tubes on the top the input stage are six SN 7 chilled the aqua stage are 300 be tilts the bigger ones we were all custom like custom-made it for high fiving the manufacturer called a full music the to OEM for a lot of big names we toned the tool by ourselves and we want to make sure the sound best in the whole system and also the benefit to using they become tool in our prosthetic that there's no transformers so because welcome to output voltage is very high they can tear free drive they have in other words this system might be the only system you can directly listen into 300 beetles without anything in return and I also want to talk about the volume control you look at the volume control here okay it looks like it's all digital but it is actually not it's a relay based step Antonietta for every step there is a one relay control two resistors their accuracy is point one percent this will guarantee that they get the best sound quality from the there's no distortion there's no effect no harmful things happened in volume control part and yeah this is this is Earth no this is something I want to emphasize about amplifier overall it's a long process for many many years we design this headphone system the beginning is 2000 at that time is there's no high fiving it's a DIY project and then after I graduated you know I set up a chemistry lab to finish the coating technology on the diaphragm that is actually 2010 to 2013 and then there are three years afterwards every day we make a simple we try to fix all the issues during the three years so we made almost 1,000 samples we so right now we are very confident that this is going to be a reliable product and something very well thank you
