Moondrop has introduced new isodynamic headphones Moondrop Para 2. The use of a very large isodynamic driver with a diameter of 100 mm with FDT (Full-Drive Technology) and an ultra-thin 1.2 µm membrane etched from pure silver allowed to create a very impressive model.
Full Drive Technology is an active driver circuit that uses a field of 36 large neodymium ribbon magnets. With this approach, the membrane surface is covered with tracks of high-purity silver etched in a two-dimensional topological structure. As a result, the design minimizes parasitic vibrations and provides high sound accuracy with low distortion. According to Moondrop, the Para 2 headphones achieve sound quality comparable to electrostatic headphones.
The cherry on the cake is another innovative technology of balancing the tension of the diaphragm Tension Balancing Technology (TBT), which ensures uniform distribution of forces over the entire surface.
The Moondrop Para 2 headphones come with a balanced cable with a 4.4mm Pentaconn connector. The cable is made of high-quality 6N monocrystalline copper in a four-core parallel configuration. The connections are made using 3.5mm mini-jack connectors for easy upgrades and cable replacement if necessary.
The Moondrop Para 2 full-size on-ear headphones are available now for a suggested retail price of $499.99.

The Hegel H150 integrated amplifier has been announced – the model will replace the well-known Hegel H120. The new model will offer a power of 2 x 75 W with a damping factor of 2,000 – that is, there are simply no complex acoustic systems for the device. In addition, the Hegel H150 is equipped with a built-in phono preamplifier and an advanced streamer.
Speakers of the SV Audio (Storgaard & Vestskov) GRO company are a classic two-way solution and are recommended for use in rooms from 15 to 60 m2. The model does not require high input power - the talents of the acoustics are revealed already with 25-watt amplification, since the sensitivity reaches 90 dB.
The new Voxativ Alberich² Metal speakers are a development of the well-known Voxativ Alberich² model – only designed in aluminum forged housings. The acoustics consist of two modules – Voxativ Hagen² Metal monitors, using AF-2A AlNiCo Magnet broadband drivers and Voxativ Alberich² Metal low-frequency units.
PULA has released new in-ear headphones PULA Unicrom – the model uses one broadband driver with a 10 mm diaphragm with a beryllium coating. Usually headphones with such drivers are quite expensive, but the company has already launched sales at an affordable retail price of $79.99!
Pure Audio has introduced the portable wireless audio system Classic Aura – the model is decorated in a retro design and is equipped with a system of ten backlight options for various genres and usage scenarios.
