As with our power conditioners, our headphones are fully customizable on customer request (at extra cost). This applies both to the housing design (for example, the housings can be painted in all RAL colors) as well as to the internal cabling. Just ask your dealer for an offer for a device custom-made to your needs.* 

The housing of the KV α is delivered as standard with a high-gloss chrome-plated front plate.
