Ear Speakers EM 5813 Model 1
Voted 'Earphone of the Year 2013' by The Absolute Sound magazine!
After 4 years of research and development, encompassing every part of the human hearing system and how it relates to Ear Speaker performance, George has left no stone unturned to develop an Ear Speaker that delivers transfixing musicality. After all, seeking to help talented musicians bring their art to the world accurately has been the driving force in George's life, and the reason Cardas Audio was founded over 25 years ago.
Ear Mirror Design
The human hearing system, musical chords, and these Ear Speakers are reflections of the Golden Ratio. The EM5813 mirrors the human cochlea, (an exact Golden ratio itself) as well as the tympanic membrane.
• The shape of the elegant copper plated brass bodies of the Ear Speakers are designed to work in symphony with the human hearing system.
• All the parts that make up the custom designed drivers are machined from proprietary solid bar stock metals in California.
• All drivers are hand matched on each pair of Ear Speakers.
• The Ear Speaker cable is Clear Light Headphone Cable which, is a miniature version of the much heralded Clear cable, which is also manufactured in California using proprietary Cardas copper and is fitted with a Gold plated 90 degree 1/8'' mini-jack plug.
• George Cardas even custom designed the ultra-thin ear tips to ensure a precise and comfortable fit (a weak point of many ear buds on the market).
• While the majority of the parts are manufactured in the US, the EM5813 is assembled in China by a small specialty manufacturer chosen by George for their very high standard of craftsmanship.
Cardas Ear Speakers come with a handy pouch.
