Austrian Audio The Arranger

The Arranger - Open-back headphone for detailed and natural sound reproduction

The Arranger is an open-back headphone from Austrian Audio, developed for focused listening and serious hi-fi systems. It combines a 44 mm high-excursion dynamic driver with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) diaphragm, delivering detailed reproduction, fast transient response, and low distortion.

The driver is developed with Austrian Audio's proprietary ring-magnet system, which provides stable control over the diaphragm's movement and contributes to linear and natural sound reproduction. Together with the open construction, this creates a wide and realistic soundstage where instruments and vocals are placed clearly in the stereo image.

The Arranger is designed and manufactured in Vienna and engineered with a focus on both comfort and durability. The lightweight metal frame, robust hinges, and soft earpads make the headphones suitable for long listening sessions in both hi-fi and professional environments.

44 MM DLC DRIVER TECHNOLOGY

The Arranger uses a 44 mm dynamic driver with a DLC-coated diaphragm. The coating increases the stiffness of the diaphragm without increasing mass, providing better control over the driver's movement and reducing breakup at high frequencies.

Together with Austrian Audio's ring-magnet design, high efficiency and low harmonic distortion are achieved. The result is reproduction with a high level of detail and controlled dynamics.

OPEN-BACK ACOUSTIC DESIGN

The open construction reduces internal reflections and provides a more natural and uncolored sound.

Instruments and vocals are placed precisely in the space, creating a wide soundstage and more realistic spatial reproduction. This makes The Arranger suitable for both critical listening and longer music sessions.

COMFORT AND CONSTRUCTION

The Arranger is developed with a focus on comfort and mechanical stability. The lightweight metal frame ensures solid construction, while the soft earpads provide a comfortable fit around the ear.

The headphones can be folded for easy transport, and key components such as the earpads can be replaced for a longer service life.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

With low impedance and high sensitivity, The Arranger can be driven efficiently by headphone amplifiers, DAC/amp solutions, and portable players alike.

The detachable cable system makes it easy to integrate the headphones into both hi-fi and studio setups.

POSITIONING

The Arranger is positioned in the premium class of Austrian Audio's open-back headphones and combines advanced driver technology with a comfort-focused design.

It is developed for systems where natural tonal balance, level of detail, and dynamic control are prioritized.

A serious open-back headphone for hi-fi enthusiasts and professional users.
