The Experts + The Connoisseur 
The APERIO GoldenSound Signature is the product of a truly great British collaboration. On the one hand, the science of Warwick Acoustics. On the other, the art of listening in the shape of leading audio reviewer GoldenSound. Together, they have been able to take Warwick's world-leading technology to places it's never been before. 
Second-Generation Transducers
The APERIO reveals the true beauty of recorded sound in a way no other system can. It is recognized around the world for its unrivaled performance. And now you can hear it anew. Combining Gen 2 BD-HPEL transducers with redeveloped analog and digital pathways, this signature edition brings you a wholly different perspective on the APERIO sound. 
These advanced drivers operate with an unprecedented bias voltage of 1800V, over three times higher than traditional electrostatic headphones. This results in a dramatic improvement in detail retrieval, control, and transparency, delivering a listening experience that is as close as possible to the original recording. With the Aperio GSE, every subtle nuance in your music is brought to life with unparalleled clarity and realism.

More Lifelike Than Ever
The GoldenSound Signature Edition offers a uniquely tailored listening experience. Warwick Acoustics and GoldenSound collaborated to refine every aspect of the system’s tuning, from bass extension to treble refinement, ensuring that no detail was left untouched.
The result is a system that combines clinical precision with musicality, offering lifelike timbre, expansive soundstage, and controlled, authoritative bass. This is a headphone system designed for the discerning audiophile who demands nothing less than perfection. 
Digital and Analog Innovation
The APERIO GoldenSound Edition features a complete overhaul of both its digital and analog signal paths, providing the flexibility to experience exceptional sound quality with any source. Whether you’re using the system’s integrated DAC or connecting to an external DAC or vinyl setup, the analog signal path remains pure and untouched by digital processing.
This analog-first approach ensures that the sound is always natural and uncolored, delivering an authentic listening experience that stays true to the original recording.
