The world's first pair of all-Damascus steel earphones
Noble Audio, a personal audiophile brand headed by Dr. John, a doctor of audiology, actively develops the research field of the effects of different materials on acoustics. Based on the acoustic response derived from the reflection of sound waves by different shell materials, the brand uses rare materials as the foundation for development Earphones with unique sound and charm: Kaiser Encore Brass made from all brass in 2018; Khan Prestige, the first pair of Mokume Gene earphones that appeared in 2019; and even those made of all 18k gold The Sultan Gold & Diamond special editions all demonstrate the brand's dedication to acoustics.
In 2021, Noble Audio and Chris Ploof, the world's best Damascus steel production team, will be jointly created. Using 150-layer forged hammered Damascus steel of the highest grade, with ingenious craftsmanship, Noble Audio creates an unprecedented masterpiece covering all Damascus steel. Headphones-VIKING Viking.
Ancient Vikings were known for boldly going to places where others dared not go. Similarly, VIKING will forge steel and sound the ultimate. Continuing the spirit of Viking, expanding the sound field of the high-fidelity world.
Symbol of strength and perfection
Damascus steel is derived from an ancient folding and forging cast iron technology. After constant folding and hammering of the steel, each piece of Damascus steel that is made by craftsmen instills its heart and soul, showing a fascinating and unique texture. The weapons made by it are particularly sharp, so in ancient times, Damascus steel was only owned by the monarch or the noble class, which symbolized the ancient people's admiration for strength and perfection.
The Damascus steel used for Viking shells is even more precious and rare. Because the design and manufacturing are responsible for the international jewelry master Chris Ploof team, the production of Damascus steel shells alone requires three countries and nine implementations. The production process, because VIKING uses the original brick CNC cutting and polishing the cabinet, the production is more difficult and complicated. Excluding the transportation time, the production process of each shell needs to be processed continuously for 50 hours without sleep. It is even more Noble. The noble status of the nobility.
Damascus steel added body for superb acoustic sublimation
The steel used to make Damascus steel has naturally been carefully selected. Medical grade stainless steel is used as the main material. After continuous hammering, it has reached the 150-layer hammer pattern of Damascus steel, the treasure level. The hammer pattern on the panel is designed by Chris Ploof, which is quite artistic, but the sound factor is the first consideration, because through continuous hammering, impurities can be separated from the steel, making the shell density and hardness higher. , It exceeds the hardness of general steel and reaches the Rockwell hardness HRC60 standard. It also means that the ability of the headset to control resonance is strengthened, and the excellent performance of nearly zero resonance is achieved, so that the headset produces less sound color, the sound is thicker, and the three-frequency restoration is more accurate.
Top-class acoustic performance as usual two-channel experience
VIKING not only shows the toughness and flexibility of Damascus steel, but also brings incredible sound in the acoustic performance. The bass band is in charge of two customized 10mm dynamic coils, with full and deep bass, laying a solid foundation for the entire music scene. Four Knowles moving irons are responsible for the mid-range and mid-high frequencies, while the UHF is taken care of by four electrostatic super-tweeter units, with a total of 10 sound units on each side. The four-way crossover design provides excellent bass response, brings out crystal-clear vocals and crisp and charming highs. The sound is exquisite and embossed. The audio commentator directly pointed out that the overall performance is better than millions of people. The sound system is meticulous and sweet, bouncing alive, and precise in image and positioning, as if you are right in front of you, it will directly lead you into the world of two channels.
Soul configuration, one body
Noble Audio's high-end earphone series must be equipped with earphone cables with exclusive tuning to maximize the potential of the earphones. VIKING's exclusive 8-pair upgrade cable MAGNUS, the wire silver and black color design plus the splitter and cable tie also made of Damascus steel, perfectly demonstrate the overall design concept of Viking. MAGNUS leads the market, using a combination of graphene, single crystal pure silver, and copper-silver alloy, using a total of 1064 conductor weaves, with a complex geometric internal layout, to give full play to the sound advantages of the material, and through a special combination and deployment, the headset And the sound of the wire is naturally natural, becoming the most luxurious and unique combination.
