The PHöNIX Final Edition is built around a meticulously refined acoustic concept, combining 13 balanced armature drivers with a newly reworked 5-way crossover and an updated tuning philosophy. The final tuning introduces a more sculpted and spacious low-end foundation.

The result is a presentation of remarkable balance and expression: Sub-bass reaches deeper, adding weight, extension and authority to the presentation, while the low mids and upper bass have been carefully rebalanced to create a more open, controlled and articulate overall image.

This gives the sound a remarkable sense of structure and composure. Notes emerge with greater definition, the stage feels more clearly organized, and the entire presentation gains a stronger sense of immediacy and expression.

Powerful yet refined. Controlled yet emotional. A sound signature that honors the legacy of the PHöNIX while revealing it in a deeply considered form. The final expression of a truly iconic sound signature – refined in its structure, mature in its control, and unmistakable in its character.

For the PHöNIX Final Edition, the low-frequency section has been refined with four newly implemented balanced armature drivers featuring an advanced diaphragm construction and a newly reworked tuning. 

Through a specialized manufacturing process, the diaphragm achieves increased structural rigidity and improved control over its movement behavior. As a result, the driver achieves a significantly improved low-frequency extension, maintaining a flatter and more linear response even below 30 Hz — a range where traditional balanced armature designs typically exhibit roll-off. This contributes to a low-end reproduction that combines enhanced sub-bass authority with exceptional precision and control, forming a stable and well-defined foundation for the overall sound signature.

Sub-bass reaches deeper, adding weight, extension, and authority to the presentation, while the low mids and upper bass have been carefully rebalanced. The result is a low-end response that feels more focused, more controlled, and more precise – powerful in foundation, yet clean in its contour.

The midrange of the PHöNIX Final Edition remains true to the unmistakable character of the original, preserving its vivid detail and remarkable naturalness.

With the newly refined low-frequency foundation, the mids now unfold with greater openness and space, allowing voices and instruments to breathe more freely. The result is a presentation that feels more spacious, more detailed, and even more natural in its expression.

The mid-highs of the PHöNIX Final Edition are powered by four BA drivers, giving the upper range of the frequencies a lustrous and harmonic imaging. The richness of details is breathtakingly uncompromising. The highs are unfolding with a natural timbre, slightly sparkling and at all time not exaggerating.

The highs of the PHöNIX Final Edition shine with a silky brilliance, combining openness with an especially smooth and refined character. They bring air and light to the presentation with effortless grace, revealing the finest details while remaining natural, elegant, and controlled.

For the final edition of our beloved PHöNIX, we have developed a completely new cable that is perfectly matched to the sound configuration. The cable is a premium 22AWG cable using our own custom-developed 7N ultra-pure single crystal copper to deliver a rich, highly musical, and naturally analog sound signature. At its core is an advanced hybrid conductor design consisting of 109 individual cores per conductor, arranged in a sophisticated 9 + 9 + 1 architecture: nine bundles of 7/0.053 mm strands, nine bundles of 5/0.063 mm strands, and a dedicated 0.13 mm solid core conductor. This mixed strand diameter Litz structure combines multiple conductor geometries to optimize signal transmission, reduce dielectric loss, and improve overall electrical performance.

The fine 7-strand bundles are optimized for superior high-frequency reproduction, minimizing skin and proximity effects to enhance resolution, airiness, and harmonic extension. The larger 5-strand bundles lower DC resistance for effortless low-frequency delivery, adding greater bass impact, control, and midrange richness. Complementing both is the solid core conductor, which contributes additional density, tonal weight, and natural body across the low and mid frequencies. Together, the hybrid conductor architecture achieves lower AC resistance and inductance, improved phase consistency, and faster transient response for an exceptionally balanced and coherent presentation.

Sonically, the cable delivers deep and authoritative bass, rich and refined mids, dense and emotional vocals, and smooth, extended highs with remarkable clarity and natural harmonic brilliance. The result is a presentation that combines technical precision with an engaging, emotional character. Completing the design are gold-plated oxygen-free copper 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors and a gold-plated OFC 4.4 mm plug with a ternary alloy base, ensuring excellent conductivity, low contact resistance, and long-term durability.
