HiFiMAN – Shangri La Sr – Electrostatic Headphone/Amplifier System

HIFIMAN – Shangri La – Electrostatic Headphone/Amplifier System

The ultimate flagship of HiFiMAN’s electrostatic headphone systems, the Shangri La Sr will elevate you to your own transcendental sonic paradise. A nanotech driver less than 0.001mm thick delivers lightning-fast response to your ears with virtually zero distortion.

Nanotech Headphone Driver (0.001mm)

Delivers lightning-fast response with virtually zero distortion. The nano-particle coated sub-micrometer thickness diaphragm providing unsurpassed high frequency response.

Radical New Technology

Metal mesh stators working in proximity to the ultra-thin diaphragm provide superior openness and less distortion than other headphones. The frame is manufactured using a specialized metallic alloy, specially chosen to ensure sonic stability and to minimise distortion. The width of the grating on the mesh measures only 50 microns, making is so fine that sound waves lower than 1×10^6 Hz (1 million Hertz) can pass through without distortion, rendering it acoustically transparent.

Custom Designed Amplifier

Featuring four of HIFIMAN’s custom designed, custom made, 300B Tubes as the warm beating heart which pumps the audio lifeblood of the SHANGRI-LA. The 300B Vacuum Tubes are the finest available to ensure perfect transparency. The 300B Tube works as the direct driving stage. There are neither capacitors nor transformers between the tubes and headphones, meaning the SHANGRI-LA might be the only audible system you can directly listen to 300B’s heavenly sound.

The distinct design of the SHANGRI-LA’s relay based attenuator has a 24 step level of volume control and utilises a total of 23 separate resistors. Every volume level being unique and independent. Mere noise gives way to a pure and heavenly reproduction of any harmony.
