Key specs
As listed on the Amazon product page we checked; missing fields are never estimated.
- Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy Dome Composite Diaphragm As a dome diaphragm material, AI-Mg alloy exhibits high rigidity and light weight, thereby extending the treble bandwidth and revealing more subtle details. The diaphragm suspension is composed of two polymer materials with differing characteristics,resulting in a punchier bass and greatly reduced nonlinear distortion.

- Brass CNC Acoustic Nozzle The nozzle of the "CHU II" consists of a separate brass CNC component, offering higher precision and density, and resulting in beautiful timbre.
- Replaceable Acoustic Nozzle "CHU II" incorporates a new generation of replaceable acoustic filters. The front end of the brass nozzle is detachable, allowing users to replace the acoustic filter quickly and conveniently.
- Ultra-low Nonlinear Distortion Reproduction of Subtle Details Thanks to the solid technology and meticulous design of the diaphragm material, "CHU II”offers a nonlinear flll frequency distortion below 0.05%,resulting in natural timbre and the reproduction of even the sublest details.
