Ansuz Darkz Z2S

Ansuz Darkz Z2S - The ultimate resonance control

With the flagship version Darkz Signature Z2s, Ansuz has achieved a new milestone in effective resonance control. By focusing on the precious and extremely musical Zirconium material, Ansuz has succeeded in unlocking a completely new dimension of musicality. The resonance-controlling Zirconium material creates a sound image that is completely unparalleled in terms of naturalness, purity, precision and attention to musical details. This is musical sophistication in the absolute finest class.

Refined with special coatings

Ansuz has further optimized the Darkz Z2s by applying their Supreme coating to each disc. This coating can only be achieved by placing each of the Zirconium discs in a HiPIMS PVD (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) machine, so that a fine and uniform layer of Zirconium, tungsten and titanium is created, which is followed by a layer of Tatanium Nitride. Finally, a layer of Zirconium is applied to the discs, to give the Darkz its unrivaled musical properties. This is innovation at the very highest level!

Technologies and Components

Ansuz Darkz resonance control devices absorb vibrations that are not directly related to the signal path. The absorption results in an audible vibration feedback, which affects the sound quality. It is the natural and authentic sound that Ansuz Darkz devices are designed to preserve. There is no alteration of the authentic sound reproduction which, when using conventional grounding materials, often make the sound unnaturally cold and harsh.

Design philosophy – Darkz

When defining the exact set-up and the dimensions of the Darkz, Ansuz Acoustics was exclusively guided by its core philosophy to always strive for the ultimate in sound quality. The Ansuz Darkz consists of 3 discs. Each of the upper two discs floats on 3 interlayer balls to ensure excellent handling and absorption of vibrations.

Surface treatment

The surface is further acoustically optimized by applying the Ansuz Signature coating. This coating is applied to the surface in a Hi-PIMS (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) machine to create the finest and most uniform layer of Zirconium and tungsten followed by a layer consisting of aluminum titanium nitride. Finally, the discs are coated with a layer of zirconium.

Interlayer balls, Tungsten

Tungsten is a premium material in terms of stability and resonance control. Its weight is 4 times higher than Titanium which enhances the mechanical grounding even further.
