The first generation's aviation-grade aluminum alloy shell and terraced metal faceplate have evolved into a substantial all-copper cavity and intricately carved divine beast relief faceplate, giving the second generation a more premium tactile presence and a stronger connection to traditional Chinese aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"feature-block\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e9-Driver Flagship Acoustic Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eXuanWu Gate II features a 1DD + 4BA + 4EST configuration on each side, doubling the number of electrostatic drivers compared with the first generation's 1DD + 4BA + 2EST setup. The self-developed 10mm wood diaphragm dynamic driver establishes a deep and natural foundation, four customized balanced armatures reproduce vocal and mid-to-high-frequency details, while four Sonion electrostatic drivers extend the ultra-high frequencies for greater openness, clarity, and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"feature-block\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003e10mm Self-Developed Wood Diaphragm Dynamic Driver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe self-developed 10mm wood diaphragm dynamic driver forms the foundation of XuanWu Gate II's acoustic architecture.
