Shanti – COMING SOON

Shanti – COMING SOON

An Uncompromising Nur Project: Shanti

Shanti is a word that resonates before it is even understood. In Sanskrit, it means PEACE, inner stillness, profound balance. Not the absence of motion, but harmony between distinct forces.

With Nur Shanti, we sought this very harmony: a tangible, real peace between two worlds that often stand apart.

The professional world, defined by measurement, control, and reliability. The audiophile world, defined by listening, emotion, and inner truth. Shanti is where these two worlds cease to be separate and begin to resonate together.

The Union of Two Worlds: Professional and Audiophile

While this is the first headphone in our Professional line, Nur Shanti remains deeply Nur:

In its respect for silence
In its management of energy
In the naturalness of listening

It does not impose a sonic signature. It causes no fatigue. It accompanies.

Shanti. Peace between control and emotion. Peace between work and listening. Peace between technique and soul.

Nur Shanti is an instrument. It is an experience. It is a place of balance

Professional Line, Designed for the Discerning Audiophile

Nur Shanti is the first headphone in the Nur Professional line. Born as a reliable, consistent, and precise tool, it is nonetheless engineered with the same care, sensibility, and respect we dedicate to the most demanding audiophile. It is a headphone designed for:

Professionals seeking control, consistency, and stability.
Audiophiles desiring precision without sacrificing musicality.
Those who experience sound as a tool, but also as a journey.

In Shanti, technical rigor is never an end in itself. Precision is not cold. It serves the art of listening. There are not two different Shantis, one “for work” and one “for pleasure.” There is a single project, capable of inhabiting both worlds.

Acoustic Grilles: Even What Surrounds Sound Is Sound

Nur Shanti’s acoustic grilles are crafted from raw 301 stainless steel, inspired by the Flower of Life—not as a decorative element, but as a structural and functional principle. Their geometry is engineered to:

Minimize unwanted reflections
Stiffen the chassis
Ensure a uniform sonic response

This plays a decisive role in achieving extraordinary coherence across the entire frequency spectrum, preserving naturalness, stability, and precision.

At Nur, even what does not directly emit sound participates in the sound.

Felt: The Silent Gesture

Within Nur Shanti lies a layer of carefully calibrated felt, selected for the specific density and thickness best suited to the behavior of the planar driver.

Its role is subtle yet fundamental: to regulate airflow and refine the delivery of mid and high frequencies. It does not color. It does not veil.

It breathes with the diaphragm. The result is a natural, balanced, and deeply engaging sound.

Chassis: The Matter That Supports Listening

The Nur Shanti chassis is a complex structure, designed as a unified system. The outer shell is crafted via additive manufacturing, utilizing nylon reinforced with 30% carbon fiber (Carbonylon). This solution reduces overall weight, enhancing comfort without compromising structural integrity. The system’s rigidity stems from the union of:

The steel acoustic grille
The planar driver’s aluminum structure, machined from solid billet

Carbonylon allowed us to create complex internal geometries, designed to contain and guide sound reflections.

The result is reproduction that is:

Precise
Focused
Stable

The chassis does not vibrate. It listens.

The Heart: A Planar Driver Designed for Balance

At the core of Nur Shanti lives a planar magnetic driver designed to operate in balance, not tension. Its architecture is built upon:

A toroidal magnetic structure that distributes flux uniformly.
High-quality N52 NdFeB magnets, chosen for strength and stability.
A dual Uniforce voice coil that moves the diaphragm consistently across its entire surface.

The diaphragm is not forced. It is accompanied. This allows for reproduction that is:

Fast in transient response.
Stable even at high output levels.
Free from harshness and compression.

With Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 0.1% at 100 dB, Shanti does not impose a sonic signature. It renders exactly what is there.

Extension as Breath, Not Exhibition

Nur Shanti’s frequency response extends from 8 Hz to 20 kHz, with an effective high-frequency reproduction capability reaching up to 50 kHz.

Not to impress on paper.
Not to declare power.
But to create space.
Space for attacks.
Space for decays.
Space for the silence that surrounds the sound.

Shanti does not sculpt the sound. It lets it happen.

Uniform Magnetic Flux: Power Under Control

Nur Shanti’s toroidal magnetic system, utilizing N52 neodymium magnets, generates an intense, stable, and uniform magnetic field. With an impedance of 50 ohms and a sensitivity of 105 dB @ 1 kHz / 1 mW, Shanti delivers:

Dynamics
Detail
Ease of driving

It remains compatible with a wide range of amplification, from solid state to tube, for both professional and home environments.

The power is present. But it is controlled.

Earpads: The Point of Contact

The Nur Shanti earpads are an integral part of the final tuning.

While the headphone is designed to accommodate various solutions, the included pad is the result of extensive experimentation: rigorous for the professional, engaging for the audiophile.

The angled structure projects the sonic wavefront forward, enhancing soundstage and imaging.

Genuine sheepskin and soft cushioning ensure comfort and stability over time.

Sound travels also through contact with the body.
