By reproducing sound sources neutrally with High-Resolution Audio capability, each sound element can be monitored accurately. It assists the mixing and mastering stages by facilitating the capture of the feel of the venue and space, as well as the changes in sound details.
When playing spatial sound sources through headphones, the sound field is virtually reproduced by performing signal processing that considers HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) for the spatial information of the sound source.
By adopting an open-back acoustic structure that does not acoustically close the housing, the reflected sound inside the headphones is reduced, enabling more accurate sound-field reproduction.
In addition, for optimal control of the airflow in front and back of the driver unit, the acoustic resistor is used over as large an area as possible to eliminate spatial resonance.
Realises natural and rich bass reproduction without colouring.
Through multiple rounds of simulation and prototyping, we derived a low-distortion, high-compliance diaphragm shape and corrugation.
Achieves reproducibility in the low range, high-range playback, and high-sensitivity playback (5 Hz–80 kHz).
In addition, the structure with ducts on the back realises sufficient volume and quick and tight low-range reproduction while maintaining the separation between the mid-range and low range.
The cable plug uses a 6.3-mm stereo standard plug widely used in production scenes. By using the bundled plug adapter, it is also possible to connect to devices with 3.5-mm stereo mini jacks. The connection part to the main unit is detachable with a screw system, allowing for secure connection and cable replacement.
