The Warwick High-Precision Electrostatic Laminate (HPEL) audio transducer sets a new benchmark for high-resolution audio reproduction, producing realistic and natural sound comparable to the highest performers on the market at a lower cost. The HPEL results from 10 years of patented research. It is driven by proprietary optimally-matched amplifier units available in various classes. The HPEL benefits include thinner and lighter diaphragms for improved frequency response and transients, a large diaphragm area without separate components for superior low frequencies, and elimination of magnetic systems to prevent inherent distortions.

Electrostatic Laminate audio
transducer (HPEL) sets a new
benchmark in sound quality
and accuracy for Hi-Res Audio
reproduction.
The product of 10 years
patented research, Warwick’s
HPELs produce realistic, natural,
and emotional sound that is
comparable with the highest
performance transducers in the
market today at a significantly
lower cost...hearing is believing!
Matched Drive Amplifier
The Warwick HPEL transducers are driven by proprietary
optimally-matched amplifier units.
Reference designs are available in Class A, AB and D
configurations for a variety of applications.
The WAT - A01 audiophile amplifier is a pure Class A high
resolution design available as a pre-production unit today.
The WAT - A02 wireless Class AB low power amplifier with
Bluetooth compatibility will be available by Q3 2016.

Warwick HPEL Benefits
• Thinner lighter diaphragm means a lower moving mass for
improved high frequency extension and faster transient
response.
• Very large diaphragm area without separate suspension
components allows for superior low frequency fidelity with
lower distortion.
• Diaphragm driven uniformly across its entire surface area
minimizes acoustical breakup modes and other anomalies.
• Elimination of magnetic drive systems prevents inherent
distortion and hysteresis effects common in traditional
transducers.
• Single-ended design eliminates bulky drive structures
reducing acoustical reflections and diffraction.
• Thinner mechanical profile ( 8mm) enables greater
freedom of design.
• Lightweight structure provides improved user comfort.
• Scalable yet precise manufacturing techniques deliver high
quality at low cost.
• Various sizes, shapes and performance levels can be
customised to meet nearly any design requirement.
