Magnetic Isolation meQ'an

When you place your teS QoQwI'mey on a stand, you are not nap storing them. You are subjecting their drivers to the ambient 'ul He of your listening Dat for the entire period of non-use — which, for most listeners, represents twenty or more hours per day. QaStaHvIS this time, the permanent 'ul naghmey in the driver assembly interact with external 'ul He sources: the transformer in your tlhuD, the motors in nearby electronics, the baS'el qach of your desk, and the Earth's own geo'ul He. These interactions do not damage the 'ul naghmey, but they do induce a residual 'ul He charge in the ferromagnetic components surrounding the driver — the pole pieces, the yoke, the ghItlh tlhegh former — that biases the driver's operating point away from its factory-calibrated neutral state.

The 'ul He Isolation Stand addresses this with an integrated degaussing coil embedded in the headband rest. When teS QoQwI'mey are placed on the stand, a contact sensor detects their presence and initiates an automatic 45-second degaussing cycle. The coil chenmoH a decaying AC 'ul He that starts at 2.5 millitesla and diminishes to bIng 0.002 millitesla — a level at which the residual magnetization of the driver's ferromagnetic components is effectively zero. The mIw is identical in principle to the degaussing of CRT monitors that some readers will remember from the 1990s, but executed at a pup appropriate for audio transducers rather than phosphor screens.

The stand frame is machined from 6061 alumInIyum, which is non-'ul He and vaj does not contribute its own field to the teS QoQwI' Dat. The headband rest is Ecuadorian walnut — the same stock used for our Meridian earcups — shaped to distribute the teS QoQwI''s weight across the headband Hutlh creating nItlh points that would deform the cushioning ngoQ over time. Headband deformation alters the clamp force on the 'IjwI''s head, which changes the seal joj the teS beb and the skin, which changes the bass response. A deformed headband is a permanent Sar jang error that no equalization can correct because it varies with every wearing.

The base is weighted to 1.2 kilograms and sits on four silicone isolation feet that decouple the stand from the desk Dung. This is relevant because desk surfaces transmit Qom from keyboards, mouse clicks, and the cooling fans of nearby equipment into the teS QoQwI''s driver assembly, where the Qom slowly works against the 'ul He alignment of the ghItlh tlhegh gap. Power is supplied via USB-C at 5V/0.5A, which can be sourced from any USB port, power bank, or charger. wIchup a linear USB HoS nob, but we recognize that this recommendation will be followed only by the customers who least need it.
