Diana TC Signature was developed specifically for the most experienced listener and audiophile who appreciates listening to music at the highest levels of resolution and refinement.
The engineers at Abyss take their love of music to an extreme by incorporating coveted conceptual designs in precision CNC machining, head acoustics, and planar magnetic speakers into this exciting new headphone. Diana TC Signature has the speed and dynamics of a huge speaker system; a deep, airy, and layered soundstage with smooth clear highs that extend out into space, a distinctive midrange and vocals layered within the depths of the soundstage.
Well known for bass, Abyss engineered this headphone as a reference for exceptional bass detail that GOES DEEP into subwoofer range below 9 Hz!. You'll hear what Abyss terms as 'bass within the bass', the rolling of drum skins and addictive low frequency harmonics that all other headphones obscure.
Diana TC Signature is the most open back Diana in the series, allowing greater air flow and freedom of motion to these next generation TC planar speakers. Newly designed aluminum frames are 100 grams lighter and more acoustically transparent to the beautiful detail in sound. And fitment to any head shape has been perfected.
Combined with Abyss bass ported lambskin ear pads, foundational low bass is surprisingly impactful way down below into the subsonics, so much so you can feel it! TC Signature performance to size ratio is the highest in the world, and the hallmark bass their flagship AB1266 headphone is noted for shines through. If you're an existing AB1266 owner with electronics to match this headphone is drop in ready, tube or solid state amplification.
Reference world class sound, industry leading build quality backed by a 10 year warranty and luxuriously appointed fine leathers and materials for all day comfort, the TC Signature headphone deserves the highest level of electronics and cabling to compliment it's nearly limitless resolution. Let our experts help you build a dream system to relax to at home, work, or travel.
