Philips DS9-37 - Manual (Page 16)

Fifty years of headphone acoustics expertise can be experienced with the new Philips
Fidelio L1. Luxurious components are teamed with innovative technologies to define a
new standard for headphones.
The extensive use of metals and specially designed fabrics combine to create the most
authentic listening experience. The Philips Fidelio L1 features machined aluminum ear shells
for rigidity and also for the metal’s damping properties, helping avoid unwanted vibration
and resonance.
The Philips designed 40mm diameter neodymium drivers feature a central vent to
faithfully reproduce lower frequencies and respect music dynamics. Each driver is
handpicked, tested and paired to create the best stereo experience attuned to modern
recording styles. A radial pattern in the diaphragm prevents break-up to give a transparent,
uncolored mid-range and treble for breath-taking spatialization. Each driver is pre-tilted
to match the ear’s natural angle, helping direct sound into the ear canal for more realistic
sound and enhanced comfort.
The Philips Fidelio L1 design incorporates an intelligent back design that exhibits the
natural sound of a fully open acoustic architecture and the noise isolation and privacy of
a closed back system. This semi-open design allows a specified amount of air to enter the
headphone cup, whilst a finely woven acoustically resistive fabric controls sound leakage
and ingress of ambient noise. The effect is powerful and dynamic bass without comprised
sound clarity.
In addition to exceptional sound quality, the Philips Fidelio L1 also sets new standards for
comfort, luxury and durability. Ear pads feature deluxe memory foam cushions, providing
superior comfort by molding to an ear’s shape, forming a perfect seal. Hard-wearing fine
leather on the headband gives a luxury finish and as you would expect from such a high-
quality, hand-crafted design, each Philips Fidelio L1 has its serial number engraved on the
ear shell.
