The new Edition8 Palladium version has the same great sound as the old Edition8, but it features finely processed and brushed Palladium plated ear cups emblazoned with a clasp of high tech ceramic.
Edition 8 incorporates stunning attention to detail in every aspect
of headphone design. We wanted to thank all of our fans worldwide, and
we are more than thrilled to be able to prove their confidence in our
professional expertise with this new pair of Edition headphones.
Ultrasone´s headphones essentially orchestrate unique features.
Each Ultrasone Edition model’s extensive development additionally
brings together the latest progression in technologies, brilliance in
design, premium quality of materials and long-standing expert knowledge
in natural sound performance. We invite you to enjoy the composition of
the new Edition 8.
Edition 8 is hand-made in Germany. The outer ear cups are covered in
Ruthenium. This precious metal is known for its brilliant metallic
sheen and durable properties. The outer ear cups are emblazoned with a
decorative clasp of noble metal. The interior ear cups and the headband
are covered in very soft genuine dark grey Ethiopian sheepskin leather.
This is the finest leather available and provides the finest isolation
of any leather. In addition to a new titanium plated tri-bass-tube
driver, this is the first Edition series headphone that follows
Ultrasone´s newest S-Logic™ Plus technology. The Edition 8 also
contains MU-Metal shielding that reduces magnetic field emissions.
Finally, these headphones come with an exclusively manufactured bag
made from smooth, fine grain Madras goatskin produced in France.
Ultrasone traveled the world in search of the finest materials for
the Edition 8 headphone. Only those manufacturers that have proven
their high standards of quality, by working with the most exclusive and
luxurious automotive and clothing brands from around the world, were
chosen as suppliers for the Edition 8.
S-Logic™ - ULTRASONE´s Natural Surround Sound
The patented S-Logic™ technology is described as Natural Surround
Sound. No digital surround system can compare with this new standard.
Normal headphones sound direct and even on both sides, but the S-Logic™
system pushes the sound around your head! It appears as though you are
listening to speakers at the other side of the room. Even at very low
levels, this spacious sound allows you to hear more accurately. The
Edition 8 uses new titanium-plated tri-bass-tube drivers which offer
the most accurate and finest sound reproduction. To top it all off, the
S-Logic™ technology doesn’t need any additional electronic enhancing
equipment!
How does S-Logic™ work?
S-Logic™ sends the sound around your head and not just into it,
because this technology uses decentralized driver positioning. Did you
know that all of us use and need the outer ear for 3-dimensional
hearing to define the direction and the distance where sound comes
from? Instead of hitting the inner ear directly, with S-Logic™, the
signals are reflected off the surface of the outer ear in different
directions before entering the auditory canal, to create a natural
3-dimensional sound. S-Logic™ is the only headphone system which
includes your entire sense of hearing. S-Logic™ doesn’t change your
personal hearing, it intensifies it for your individual needs and
listening pleasure. S-Logic™ doesn’t require artificial echo nor
digital processing or cross over run time delay (like DSP). You hear
the music just the way the sound mixer produced it.
How does S-Logic™ Plus work?
S-Logic™ Plus is the newest advancement in the S-Logic™ Natural
Surround System. S-Logic™ Plus profits directly from innovations
developed for the Ultrasone Edition series, the ultimate headphones for
critical listening. This sophisticated new technology combines
precision dampening with micro-acoustic reinforcement, allowing driver,
buffer-board, and spatial parameters to complement one another in an
optimal manner. The acoustically redesigned ear-cups of these new
models, and their tonal fine-tuning, result in the most neutral sound
impression, with more vivid perception of voices and instruments.
ULE technology - ULTRASONE´s MU Metal shielding for reduced magnetic field emissions
ULE stands for Ultra Low Emission. The ULTRASONE ULE technology was
systematically developed for professionals who spend most of their
professional lives in headphones. Most headphone drivers convert an
electric signal into an acoustical signal, producing low-frequency
magnetic fields. In response, ULTRASONE developed a special MU Metal
shielding (ULE technology) to reduce this radiation up to 98% compared
to other current headphone technologies. All professional ULTRASONE
headphones are equipped with this technology. Naturally, the Edition 8
headphones incorporate the ULE technology. The exclusiveness of these
headphones call for the ULE standard. This patented technology has
stood the test of international review and is recommended by technical
surveillance organizations worldwide.
ULTRASONE´s concept for safer hearing
The S-Logic™ technology not only creates Natural Surround Sound, it
allows for a lower dB output (3-4dB) at the same time providing an
equally perceived loudness. This may reduce the risk of hearing damage
while ensuring hours of fatigue-free listening. However, ULTRASONE
generally advises not to listen to music at high volumes to prevent
hearing damage.
