At the 2023 NAMM Show in Anaheim, Ultimate Ears Pro announced the debut of its new UE PREMIER in-ear monitors that incorporate 21 drivers per side and operate at a stated frequency range of 5 Hz to 40 kHz.
“Building upon the success of the groundbreaking UE LIVE, we wanted to push ourselves to the limit of what was previously thought possible,” says Philippe Depallens, VP & general manager, Ultimate Ears Pro. “Our team of experts embarked on a mission to take our technology further than ever before. UE PREMIER represents the pinnacle of UE Pro innovation, with immersive studio-quality sound that brings even the most intricate details into focus.”
The 21 drivers work in tandem with a five-way passive crossover. The company states that each driver was carefully selected and individually tuned to efficiently and accurately reproduce different frequency bands across the audio spectrum.
To extend the frequency range down to 5 Hz, UE PREMIER utilizes with two dual sub-low drivers in parallel with four dual mid-low drivers. A quad-mid driver is designed to provide added nuance, clarity and adaptability. UE Pro’s proprietary True Tone driver and Knowles’ proprietary Quad Super Tweeter extends the frequency range up to 40,000 kHz.
UE PREMIER is available now at pro.ultimateears.com in the U.S. — and internationally through Ultimate Ears Pro’s dealer distribution network — for $2,999. Orders will ship on May 15, 2023.
