OVERVIEW

Open Back Studio Monitor Headphones

Open back Studio Monitor Headphones for creating spatial and stereo sound with wide frequency range and soundstage feel. Neutral and high-resolution acoustic characteristics reproduce all sound elements exactly as they are, providing lightweight and excellent wearing comfort for creators during long studio sessions.

Studio monitor sound for mixing and mastering

Accurate reproduction of the spatial information of the sound source with carefully tuned open back acoustic structure to support mixing and mastering of both spatial and stereo sounds with High-Resolution Audio capability.

Uncolored frequency response suitable for production, obtained through collaboration with creators. (5Hz - 80kHz)

Excellent wearing comfort

Excellent wearing comfort for creators during long studio sessions. Lightweight, soft and stable fitting provides superior comfort for extended working or listening sessions during the creation of music content.

Spatial sound recreation

Reproduce each sound's positions and movements accurately in 360 degrees to enable spatial sound experience in the headphones, virtualizing a speaker-based production environment.

Stereo sound creation with High-Resolution Audio capability

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.

Carefully tuned open-back acoustic structure

When playing back spatial sound sources with headphones, the sound field is virtually reproduced by performing signal processing that considers HRTF 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 as large area as possible to eliminate spatial resonance. Realizes natural and rich bass reproduction without coloring.

Detachable cables for professional use

The cable plug uses a 6.3 mm stereo standard plug widely used in production scenes. By using the bundled plug adaptor, 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.
