The diaphragm is driven by a pair of OFC copper plate electrodes, which is only 0.5mm thick. This provides powerful propulsion for the diaphragm, delivering\n exceptional bass reproduction and detail retrieval. Each driver is assembled in a clean room environment with hours of inspection work and the\n  strictest contamination control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eEmbossed dust screen for lower distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor the first time in the industry, ES Lab adopts an embossing printing process for the ultra-thin film dustscreens. By applying ultra-light compressions to the film, a matrix of embossed patterns is printed onto the dust screen, which is less than a micrometer thick. This minimizes distortion while making the \n dust screen acoustically transparent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eCNC-machined metal chassis with vintage-inspired styling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe EX-1a employs an all-metal chassis comprised of CNC-machined aluminum alloy, stainless steel frames enclosed in genuine buffalo leather.
