WANDLA, tailored by GoldenSound

The WANDLA GoldenSound Edition came from a collaboration between Ferrum and Cameron Oatley of GoldenSound, reallocating the computing power of SERCE – WANDLA’s beating heart – to create a set of new sound-tailoring features.

Spatial Enhancement expands the soundstage and improves separation, with dedicated headphone and speaker modes. Tube Mode adds valve-like even-order harmonics for a warmer, richer sound without changing frequency response, and Impact+ uses a custom two-band EQ to lift bass and add punch. PCM is kept untouched and MQA processing is bypassed to get the best from the DSP engine.

Made for HYPSOS

Performs beautifully straight out of the box, but can be taken further still when paired with the Ferrum HYPSOS hybrid power supply via the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection with 4-terminal voltage sensing.
