Introducing Dan Clark Audio Noire X
Unmatched Sound, Superior Comfort, and Exceptional Value
The new Dan Clark Audio NOIRE X™ takes the iconic AEON 2 NOIRE to new heights, integrating breakthrough acoustic technology, refined design, and exceptional performance, all at a remarkable price. With the introduction of DCA’s Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS™), a new, improved driver, and an ergonomically enhanced build, the NOIRE X sets a new standard for high-performance headphones.
AMTS – State-of-the-Art Acoustic Engineering
At the core of the NOIRE X is the patented Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System™ (AMTS™), a revolutionary advancement in headphone technology. First introduced in DCA’s flagship models like the Stealth, Expanse, and E3, AMTS dramatically reshapes the frequency response of the headphone while eliminating high-frequency standing waves—responsible for the harsh, artificial treble found in many other headphones. The result is a remarkably balanced sound with airy, detailed highs and a natural, fatigue-free listening experience.
Precision-Engineered Sound
The NOIRE X features an updated AEON planar driver, designed for greater rigidity and consistency. This enhanced driver delivers a smoother frequency response, reduced distortion, and superior reliability, ensuring exceptional sound across the entire listening range. With advanced manufacturing processes and precision V-Planar knurling, we’ve fine-tuned the driver to offer a level of detail and clarity typically reserved for higher-end headphones.
Comfort-Driven Design & Durable Aesthetics
Long listening sessions are a breeze with the self-adjusting headband and ergonomically optimized ear pads. The self-tensioning headband evenly distributes pressure across your head, eliminating hot spots and reducing listening fatigue, even during extended use. The new ear pads, wrapped in Alcantara synthetic suede, enhance comfort by minimizing heat and moisture buildup, ensuring a cool, dry fit, even in warmer environments. The pads also feature reduced “foam rolling” for longer-lasting comfort and consistent fit over time.
The NOIRE X’s striking black-on-black design exudes understated luxury. The new ear cups are protected by Gorilla Glass 3, a highly durable material known for its strength and scratch resistance, offering a premium look while enhancing the headphone’s overall durability.
Cable Options
The NOIRE X offers comprehensive connectivity options right out of the box, including 6.35mm, 3.5mm, 4-pin XLR, and 4.4mm terminations. For audiophiles seeking even more flexibility, the headphone is compatible with DCA’s premium VIVO cables, available in various lengths and terminations, allowing you to optimize your setup for the perfect listening experience.
