Unparalleled Sonic Excellence With Eight-Driver Hybrid Configuration:-
AFUL has designed the new Performer 8 with an eight-driver hybrid configuration. The pair houses an 8mm dynamic driver with a biological diaphragm. This DD unit is supported by seven customized high-performance balanced armature drivers for ultimate resolution and clarity.
Supreme Performance With Four-Way Frequency Crossover:-
In order to get the best out of the eight drivers of Performer 8, AFUL has designed the pair with a four-way frequency crossover. The 8mm dynamic driver unit produces a deep and strong lower end. It is supported by two high-performance BA drivers that support the DD for the lower end and also produce a clear midrange. Another two BA drivers produce high-resolution vocals and instruments in the midrange section. And finally, three BA drivers are there to produce a smoothly detailed and nicely extended treble response!!
Patented 3d Printed Acoustic Tube Structure:-
Just like the Performer 5, the new Performer 8 also has a 3D Printed Acoustic Tube structure. This helps in having a physical crossover on the set. Performer 8 is designed with an ultra-long & ultra thin 62.55mm Bass tube that helps the pair to produce a deep-hitting, thick lower-end response. There’s also a 46.77mm mid-bass tube, and a 10.61mm mid-range tube for enhanced sound output!!
Patented High-Damping Air-Pressure Balance System:-
AFUL has equipped the Performer 8 with a specially designed patented high-damping air-pressure relief technology. It balances the air pressure in the ear canal and reduces the wearing fatigue that occurs after long listening sessions. Additionally, it also enhances the elasticity of the lower end in the output signal.
Patented RLC Frequency Division Technology:-
AFUL has also featured its patented RLC(Resistor, Capacitance, Inductance) frequency division correction technology on the Perfomrerm8. It uses a number of resistors and capacitors in a simple combination to adjust the sound of the different drivers at the same time. This helps in achieving clean and precise sound with the performer8 with lower distortion!! It provides the BA drivers with a smooth treble frequency response!!
New Exquisite Looks:-
AFUL Performer8 is designed with the intricate craftsmanship of the professional acoustic engineers at AFUL. The pair has a lightweight ergonomic shape and features a stunning eye-catchy face cover. AFUL has carefully designed this beautiful face cover using multiple layers of hand-painted aluminum foil treating the pair with a premium finish.
High-Purity Stock Cable:-
AFUL Perfommer8 promises top-level performance with a high-purity stock cable. The pair comes with a high-purity monocrystalline copper silver-plated cable with a 98-wire x 4-strand configuration. The cable is designed after testing different materials with the set. It enhances the sound with faster transients, a stronger lower-end, and a bigger stage!!
*The direction of the damping is determined by the technical specifications. To maintain consistency in tuning, the damping direction may vary on the same pair of headphones. It could be installed in either the forward or reverse direction. Additionally, there may be differences in the damping material used for headphones of the same model but in different colors. These practices are all aimed at achieving consistent frequency response curves.
This is because our factory’s standard for headphone testing is much higher than the industry average. Before factory testing, we fine-tune the damping position to improve the symmetry of the headphone's frequency response curve. In the industry, as long as the left and right channels maintain a certain degree of deviation, products can be shipped. Therefore, their damping positions are typically fixed. However, before shipping, we make every effort to achieve symmetry, and thus, on the production line, there is a step to fine-tune the damping position in order to meet better technical standards.
Note: The default cable is rated at 6W.
