Immersive Sound Field Space

【 Multi-Asymmetric Acoustic Cavity Design 】

The audio performance of headphones is determined by three key factors: the characteristics of the frequency domain (w), time domain (t), and spatial domain (r) within the basic harmonic wave of cos(kr - wt). The frequency domain (w) and time domain (t) define the texture and qualities of sound, while the spatial domain (r) determines the sense of direction and distance from which sounds originate. Therefore, whether the sound feels truly lifelike depends on the performance in the spatial domain (r).

To create a vivid listening experience that replicates the realism of a live music performance, Corr Acoustics headphones employ a multi-asymmetric acoustic cavity design within the headphone in the spatial domain (r). We integrate the physical wave mechanisms of radiation, diffraction, and reflection into the headphone’s structural design, creating a lifelike three-dimensional sound field space. This results in an immersive auditory sensation that makes you feel as if you are right there.

Romance of Nonlinear Sound

【 Maple Wood Headphones 】

Music’s beauty lies in both its expected and unexpected developments, while sound’s allure lies in the transformations between linear and non-linear responses. Signal fidelity is the fundamental requirement for audio reproduction, which holds true for loudspeaker products. However, this is not necessarily the case for headphones. Stereo loudspeakers produce sound by vibrating and projecting it into the surrounding space. Before the sound reaches our ears, various wave phenomena occur, such as radiation, diffraction, reflection, and non-linear interactions, including transmission, reflection, absorption, and resonance. All of these factors combine with the original sound in our ears to create “the music” we listen to.

If headphones prioritize zero distortion and zero rendering, it’s akin to listening to music with stereo speakers close to our ears, lacking spatial sound rendering. This can make music sound extremely uncomfortable.

Corr Acoustic headphones not only incorporate the wave mechanisms of sound radiation, diffraction, and reflection but also use non-homogeneous maple wood materials in their design. The maple wood generates the non-linear effects of sound wave transmission, reflection, absorption, and resonance that occur in natural environments. This results in a more realistic and natural sound.
