High-excursion driver with DLC membrane

At its core is a 44 mm high-excursion driver developed by Austrian Audio, featuring a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) membrane and a proprietary ring magnet system. This driver architecture delivers an exceptional transient response, extremely low distortion, and bass reproduction that cleanly reaches down to 5 Hz. The lower frequencies are deep and controlled, offering substance and texture without excessive weight or bloat.

Open-back principle for a natural soundstage

The open-back design creates a wide, natural soundstage with precise spatial placement. Instruments and vocals are clearly defined in the mix, avoiding the typical "in-your-head" presentation. Mid-range reproduction is tonally balanced and realistic, while the highs remain finely resolved and smooth even during long listening sessions.

Built for comfort and longevity

Comfort and durability are at the heart of this design. A foldable metal frame, solid all-metal hinges, and high-quality materials ensure robustness, while soft synthetic leather ear pads provide excellent comfort for long listening or studio sessions. The ear pads and headband are fully replaceable, making the Arranger 100% serviceable and a true long-term investment.

Professional connectivity and easy to drive

Connection is made via a professional 4-pin balanced jack, which supports both the included TRS cable and optional balanced Pentaconn or 5-pin XLR cables. With its low impedance of 25 ohms and high sensitivity, the Arranger can be driven easily by high-quality portable playback devices and scales perfectly with dedicated headphone amplifiers.

The Arranger is not a lifestyle statement, but a serious reference headphone – designed for listeners who value precision, spatiality, and musical integrity.
