Ella: The Planar Magnetic Headphone with Uncompromising Musical Impact
Announcement posted by Gap Marketing and Management 31 Oct 2018
A premium planar magnetic headphone, handmade with built-in audiophile amps to deliver supreme detail and emotion.
(Sydney, Australia – 31 October 2018) Blue, a 20-year leading innovator in audio technology and design, introduces the Ella: headphones with detail so accurate you’ll hear music in ways you’ve never heard before. Ella is the first headphone to combine the supremely detailed sound of planar magnetic drivers with the emotional impact of traditional headphones to deliver a uniquely satisfying listening experience. It features custom, built-in audiophile amplifiers for next-level fidelity, regardless of the sound source, as well as Blue’s radical racecar-inspired headband for comfort, improved isolation, and enhanced sound quality.
Ella combines Blue’s planar magnetic technology with an onboard audiophile amp and large, high-capacity cabinets to deliver the perfect blend of accuracy and impact. Ella’s 50mm x 50mm drivers are self-tensioned for fast response and extreme accuracy, while still delivering warmth and punch. The massive driver enclosures are fashioned after high-end speaker cabinets to deliver a rich, extended soundstage. Ella is also the first planar magnetic headphone to offer a built-in 250mW audiophile amp, which is perfectly matched to Blue’s custom planar magnetic drivers to deliver crystal-clear audio on all listening devices. To ensure the highest quality standards, Ella is handmade in small quantities.
“Ella is a planar magnetic headphone with a twist—it delivers both superior detail and musical impact,” said John Maier, CEO of Blue Microphones. “Typical planar magnetic headphones sacrifice impact to achieve higher levels of detail, leaving a sound that’s more clinical than emotional. And traditional dynamic headphones are great at delivering the power and punch that most of us are used to but can’t transmit the detail planar does. Ella is the first headphone that combines the best of both worlds to offer both punch and precision.”
The headband features a four-point multi-jointed linkage system with pivoting arms, keeping the headphones parallel at all times and providing comfort for any head shape or size. The earcups are shaped like ears to achieve a superior seal for accurate bass response, improved isolation and reduced sound bleed.
Ella goes one step further with three all-analog amp modes—including OFF, ON, and ON+—allowing listeners to activate the onboard amplifier and restore the missing low end to vinyl-era music. You can re-listen to your favourite tracks in hi-res (such as FLAC of AIFF file formats) and hear the music in way you may have never heard before or grab your favourite vinyl and a vino and get lost in your own personal concert. The completely reimagined design results in a supremely precise, highly customisable headphone with superior comfort and unprecedented performance.
