About the CA-1a
The RAAL-requisite CA-1a is a circumaural True Ribbon™ headphone monitor using a dedicated ribbon driver developed by RAAL-requisite. It is designed for mixing, mastering, and home listening, combining the speed, detail, and transient precision associated with ribbon drivers with a closed, over-ear presentation. The CA-1a requires a suitable ribbon-headphone amplifier or RAAL-requisite interface such as the TI-1b; interface inclusion depends on the package selected. It is supplied with two acoustic-pad configurations: a closed version for a stronger seal and greater bass emphasis, and a vented version for a more open presentation. The headphone is offered in headphone-only and interface-inclusive packages.
