The WAT-H01 is based on Warwick Audio’s lightweight, single ended, electrostatic laminate transducer delivering:

• Extended frequency response above 60 kHz with a smoother, flatter, more linear acoustical performance.

• An acoustical response free of breakup modes and other anomalies.

• Minimal acoustical reflection and diffraction effects.

• Optimal transient response.

• A more linear phase response across the entire audio spectrum.

• Lower distortion and increased dynamic range.

The product of over 10 years of patented research, the WAT-H01 matches the audio performance and sound quality of the finest planar type headphones at significantly reduced cost.

The WAT-H01 is supplied with the matching WAT- A01 drive amplifier. This high performance precision amplifier has been designed without compromise to deliver the best that the WAT-H01 can offer and preserve the fidelity of Hi Res audio content.
