About the Cover: Justin Maller
Justin Maller, an Australian freelance illustrator and art director based in Brooklyn, NY, created the image that adorns the
front of our NightHawk packaging and Flight Manual. We admire Justin’s work and feel that it echoes our own creative
process: As with the component parts of NightHawk itself, each faceted shard of Justin’s work is a distinct entity made to
complement the whole.
We’re delighted to have worked with Justin in the creation of NightHawk’s cover art. As our family of headphones grows
larger, stronger, and more complete, we look forward to seeing more of Justin’s winged creations emblazon our packages
and inspire our users.
NightHawk is AudioQuest’s full-bore assault on both the state of the headphone art
and on the limits to which quality, innovation, and sustainability can be achieved at
an affordable cost.
Innovative Materials: Beautiful, Sustainable Liquid Wood
NightHawk’s earcups are made from a revolutionary new material known as “Liquid
Wood”—actual wood that has been combined with reclaimed plant fiber, heated,
liquefied, and processed in such a way that it can be injection molded. While injection
molding is commonly accomplished with plastics or synthetic polymers, Liquid Wood is
a natural material; as such, every NightHawk earcup is one of a kind, exhibiting subtle
variations in color, pattern, and surface finish that further enhance NightHawk’s overall
beauty. Moreover, compared to ordinary plastic or wood, Liquid Wood has far superior
acoustic properties and provides a seemingly endless array of geometric possibilities.
In NightHawk, we use Liquid Wood to shape our earcups to more closely resemble the
human ear, thereby providing a more complete and comfortable fit, reducing stress on
the listener’s head and ears. And, unlike typical plastic, Liquid Wood is environmentally
friendly—more than merely beautiful to behold, it is also sustainable.
Driver Technology: Biocellulose Diaphragm & Split-Gap Motor
Most of today’s headphones use diaphragms made from Mylar—an inexpensive,
lightweight, and technologically mature plastic material. Unfortunately, Mylar is
inherently flimsy and brittle, typically distorting as the audio signal reaches high
frequencies of 6-10kHz and invariably causing listener fatigue. NightHawk takes a
radically different approach. Inspired by the advanced drive-units used in today’s
high-performance loudspeakers, NightHawk’s 50mm high-excursion driver has a
biocellulose pistonic diaphragm and a compliant rubber surround. The biocellulose
material is rigid and self-damping, making it far more accurate and musically pleasing
than Mylar. In addition, NightHawk’s patented split-gap motor design dramatically
reduces intermodulation distortion to provide a clean, well-defined broadband
response and a large, naturally detailed representation of space. Your music sounds
clean, clear, large, and alive.
