Final Audio Design D8000 Pro Edition

Made in Japan, the D8000 Pro Edition leaves the delicate sound quality of the D8000 intact and has undergone retuning of driver units in accordance with actual use for professional sound recordings upon the request of recording engineers who wish to listen at louder sound volumes than ordinary consumers.

“The conventional planar magnetic problem of the diaphragm coming into contact with magnets has been solved through AFDS (Air Film Damping System), and it has become possible to reduce the frequency of the bass tones that the driver unit can reproduce. Combined with breathable earpads, bass tone reproduction with a volume and open sound only achievable with superior dynamic models is possible.” – Final Audio Design

To establish AFDS, an extremely high level of precision compared to typical driver units is necessary. Because of this, the machined aluminum magnesium alloy housing is machined with great precision. The black option has a ‘leathercoat’ finish similar to those used for expensive cameras.
