Sound
The Bio-cellulose diaphragm
The bio-cellulose speaker diaphragm in S05 is made of a bacterial cellulose which is an organic compound that is grown using certain types of bacteria. Bio-cellulose is a really interesting material for many reasons it's renewable biodegradable and it has great acoustic properties.
The role it plays when listening to music
If music is played through a poorly designed headphones that produce a high amount of harmonic distortion it will simply sound wrong and unnatural. This is because the harmonic distortion changes how we perceive the timbre and tonality of the sound which is obviously really problematic when producing music or mixing a track. The biocellulose diaphragm on the other hand is able to reproduce the music faithfully with great clarity even at high volume levels.
S05 - Speaker units
For the S05, the biocellulose diaphragm was paired with a high grade neodymium magnet which resulted in a speaker unit that offers a clear mid-range better dynamics and a more natural overall tonality. When tuning the speaker unit, special attention was paid to the clarity in the mid-range without compromising the extension in the bass range. This results in a very wide sound stage with great instrumental separation.
The music maker is able to extract and enjoy every little detail in the music.
