Commentary and video by Lulu Zerrad

"What is striking about this system is its transparency. The test is simple: you set the volume to zero and then increase it gradually. The volume changes, not the sound. It is that of the instrument simply amplified. I have been looking for the Holy Grail for a long time, I have finally found it!" Lulu Zerrad

 This system is changing my life! By correcting with a Headway, I can get a sound at high volume that is practically identical to the natural sound of the Oud. It's great :-)

It's great, natural, hyper dynamic with a lot of sensations close to the natural. For the oud, I believe it is the most faithful solution that exists!
