At the 129th AES Convention Ultrasone Inc. showcased the company’s first pair of balanced closed-backed headphones – Balanced PRO 900.
By utilizing two wires to deliver equal and opposite audio signals, Ultrasone has increased audio performance by doubling the slew rate and voltage swing power, while reducing distortion components & eliminating crosstalk.
The end result is a transparent and sonically accurate pair of headphones.
Ultrasone’s Balanced PRO 900s are closed-back headphones with a classic black design, velvet covered black ear pads and a diamond-cut logo insignia.
The Balanced PRO 900 features a 40mm titanium-plated driver and detachable balanced cables that are paired with 3 pin XLR Neutrik connectors.
These cables feed two opposite and equal signals (L+, L-, R+, R-) to the left and right drivers housed in each ear cup.
Ultrasone’s new headphones contain MU-Metal shielding (ULE technology) that reduces the amount of radiation directed to the listener by up to 98%, as compared to conventional headphones.
As with other Ultrasone headphones, the Balanced PRO 900s feature Ultrasone’s S-Logic Plus technology for reduced sound pressure on the ear drum and improved tonal perception.
This gives users the advantage of wearing Ultrasone headphones for many hours without their ears hurting. Ultrasone’s Balanced PRO 900 comes in a hard-sided carrying case for safe transportation and a pair of spare ear pads.
The headphones have a MSRP of $799 and are available now from Ultrasone’s network of dealers and on the Ultrasone website.
