Audio Performance & Microphone
The closed, on-ear driver produces a natural, uncolored sonic character with impressive clarity across the 18–26,000 Hz frequency range, capturing every nuance of your performance. The integrated dynamic microphone spans 60–17,000 Hz, delivering present vocals and instruments without coloration, while the 107 dB sensitivity ensures robust signal capture in demanding live environments.
Design & Connectivity
The flexible microphone arm rotates through a full 270º arc and can be positioned on either the left or right side, accommodating different stage setups and personal preferences. An automatic mute mechanism engages as the arm swivels up, while a headband switch mutes audio when the headphones are removed—intelligent features that prevent feedback and unwanted noise during transitions.
