Product Description

Dan Clark Audio Voce

Voce is Dan Clarks Audios flagship electrostatic headphone and perhaps 2018s most awarded high-end headphone, capturing a majority of Best Headphone and Product of the Year accolades in the USA from preeminent publications such as Positive Feedback, Absolute Sound, Headfonics and Headphone.guru. A passion for Music drives everything Dan Clark do When Dan decided to build an electrostatic headphone he started with a blank sheet of paper to create a product that improved upon all of the great attributes of previous electrostatic headphones such as transparent midrange and detail resolution and added a powerful bass experience and an expansive soundstage. Dan and his team went all in for the design of the Voce, reinventing every aspect from the ultra-large 88mm driver to the fully custom silver plated cable Dan Clark would supply with it. Dan Clark even built an in-house clean room for production to ensure the highest quality and reliability. Were truly proud of the fact that VOCE has had a service rate of <1% after almost two years in the field, an unparalleled accomplishment considering it is Dan Clark's first-electrostatic headphone! The result was well worth the effort put into the design of the Voce. Key features include: 88mm driver for extended and rich bass that reaches below 10Hz and a gigantic soundstage Advanced metal stators for enhanced resolution Flexible, microphonic-free round silver-plated copper cable with a solid machined Teflon connector cased in an aluminum housing Convenient and attractive walnut storage box with built-in headphone stand Durable all metal construction at a featherweight 330gr Fully dust-sealed drivers The Voce is a game changer. You owe it to yourself to audition this amazing headphone. Important notes on electrostatic headphones: Electrostatic headphones must be used with an appropriate electrostatic amplifier or energizer (energizers connect to the outputs of a loudspeaker amplifier) to operate. Many electrostatic headphones make a "zip" sound when the headphone is put on or removed. This is the sound of the charged driver touching the stator and due to the electric fields sticking briefly to it before releasing. Due to VOCE's very large driver size, the driver may be more prone to this than some other electrostatic headphones. As the stator is insulated this will not cause damage to the driver and should be considered normal operation.

Top-of-the-range offering, very high resolution and clarity with a large soundstage. The full energy of the playing beautifully conveyed. Excellent image placement and clarity. Crescendos are full and open and reproduction is breathtaking. Bass is tight, powerful and punchy, the top end is crisp and well extended.

Hi-Fi Choice | | August 2019

The VOCE stands as one of the finest electrostatic headphones ever created and one that provides stiff competition for Stax's legendary SR-009.

About the Brand

About the brand

Dan Clark Audio, formally known as MrSpeakers, was founded almost in 2012 by Dan Clark. Audio has been Danâ€™s passion since he was four years old and rocked out air-guitar to The Beatles on his dadâ€™s McIntosh tube amp and Wharfedale speakers. During college he worked in a high-end retail audio boutique and focused his studies on analog power amplifiers.

Dan received a BS in engineering from Swarthmore College and an MBA from San Jose State University and Apple Computer. He then spent 30 years in high-tech managerial and executive roles, working in companies ranging from small startups to Apple Computer, Compaq and Sun Microsystems. Stimulating work, but Dansâ€™ real passion was still Music and Audio Engineering was calling him.

In the late 1990â€™s, Dan started work as a loudspeaker design consultant for several high-end audio companies, developing products including the critically acclaimed Platinum Audio series 2 loudspeakers.

As the personal audio market exploded with the advent of innovative devices like the Apple iPod and smartphones, Dan became interested in the associated headphone market and in 2008 began working on modifying and improving headphones for personal enjoyment. He joined a community of enthusiasts who modified headphones where he both learned and shared a lot about the craft.

In April 2012 he founded MrSpeakers to bring his ideas to market. Initially, MrSpeakers modified headphones made by other vendors for resale, a solution that allowed Dan to fund development of his own ground-up designs without incurring debt or seeking funding from investors.

Initially Dan focused on a specific problem: how to make closed headphones sound more "open" while delivering the isolation many headphone users required. The result was the worldâ€™s first 3D printed headphone, the Alpha Dog, a lively and fun headphone. The Alpha Dog revenues funded the development of MrSpeakersâ€™ first in-house headphone, ETHER, and from there MrSpeakers became a leading manufacturer of planar magnetic headphones, winning awards and accolades from all around the globe.

In 2019 MrSpeakers became Dan Clark Audio, and today is an industry leader in both open and closed planar headphones.

Dan Clark Audio has secured six patents for technology and design incorporated into our proprietary headphones. Dan Clark Audioâ€™s emphasis on balancing sonic performance, comfort and value, with Made In USA quality, has resulted in dozens of industry honors for top quality, from organizations as diverse as "hi-fi+" to "The absolute sound," "HFN," and The New York Times Wirecutter.
