How the TH900 lacquered housing is made
Features
Limited edition model with special colors and audio tuning different from the original.
BioDyna diaphragm made of ultra-fine bio-cellulose fiber material is used.
Utilizing know-how accumulated over many years, bio-cellulose fibers are blended with other fibers and other materials under optimal conditions. Low specific gravity, high Young’s modulus and high internal loss are realized. In addition to reproducing delicate, high-resolution and beautiful mid-high frequencies, the free edge with good linearity faithfully reproduces low mid-range frequencies with large amplitude.

What is Biocellulose Fiber?
Bio-cellulose fiber is made by advanced biotechnology and is an ultrafine fiber with a thickness of 20 to 50 nm (nanometer), about 1/1000 of natural plant fibers (such as cotton). These fibers are extremely pure α-cellulose, with almost no harmful impurity components, and exhibit the highest level of crystallinity. The ultrafine bio-cellulose fiber has excellent reproduction ability in the mid and high frequencies. When various fibers are combined with this fiber in an appropriate blend, a sound quality that combines the characteristics of each fiber can be obtained, enabling sound creation of a higher level. We have established a technology for mass-producing high-performance diaphragms by blending bio-cellulose fibers with other fibers under optimal conditions, utilizing the know-how we have accumulated over many years.
● Magnetic circuit with repulsive magnetic field is equipped with an ultra-strong driver unit with a magnetic flux density of 1.5 Tesla.
A low distortion, ultra-strong, high-performance magnetic circuit with a magnetic flux density of 1.5 tesla using neodymium magnets provides a vast dynamic range.
Lacquer-finished housing that satisfies the pleasure of ownership along with high quality sound
The surface of the wood part is finished with a lacquer craft originally developed by SAKAMOTO Otsuzo Shoten, a company founded in 1900 (Meiji 33rd year) that applies traditional Japanese crafts to today’s industrial products. The lacquer used is black lacquer. The prestigious black color is harmonized with the beautiful grain of Mizume cherry, a high-grade wood.
Wood quality: Mizume cherry
Mizume-zakura is a variety of birch (Betula maximowicziana), a species native to Japan. The Mizume-zakura is a high-grade wood suitable for furniture manufacturing because of its fine grain and hardness, and its beautifully finished surface.
7N grade high-purity OFC unbalanced cable (ET-H3.0N7UB) included
The unbalanced cable comes with 7N (99.999999%) grade high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) unbalanced cable, which is essential for achieving high resolution and expressing this sense of luster, and has high transmission capacity by eliminating impurities to the utmost limit. The plug sleeve is made of highly durable duralumin.
The unit is equipped with a detachable connector port and uses 7N grade cables for internal wiring.
Features a detachable connector terminal with rhodium-plated treatment that is hard, abrasion-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, and a detachable contact terminal on the headphone body side. Balanced connection is also supported with the separately sold balanced connection cable (ET-TH4.4BL/LET-H3.0N7BL).
Ear pads with low-resilience cushions to reduce sound leakage
The earpads are specially designed with low rebound cushions that cover the back of the ears to reduce sound leakage, and carefully selected high-grade synthetic leather to provide a pleasant feel and comfortable fit even after prolonged use.
