Among the signature sound-enhancing technologies in Denon headphones is the latest Micro-fiber Diaphragm technology (in the AH-NC732, AH-D5000, AH-D2001 and AH-D1001). The smaller size of the micro-fiber (1/100th compared to natural cellulose) results in a denser diaphragmatic material that increases frequency transmission rates for better sound and detail, affording maximum presence of acoustic sounds with low distortion.
