Beyerdynamic, a leading manufacturer of exceptional microphones, headphones and wireless microphone systems, introduces the DT 60 PRO In-Ear Headphones. Designed for use with in-ear monitoring systems, the DT 60 PRO provides extremely accurate audio reproduction combined with effective sound isolation in loud environments.

Innovative direct coupling of the DT 60 PRO’s transducers help to provide users deep bass, balanced mids and clearly defined highs. The in-ear headphones also offer additional sound isolation from ambient noise. To ensure an ideal fit, the DT 60 PRO comes equipped with three different pairs of silicon ear pads. Users have an option of black, white and beige models, allowing the headsets to be inconspicuous. At a little more than half a pound, the DT 60 PRO is the perfect companion for touring and live situations.

“For monitoring applications, professionals are looking for superior sound reproduction as well as safe volume levels,” explains Paul Froula, beyerdynamic’s pro audio manager. “The high level of sound isolation the DT 60 PRO provides allows users to listen at lower volume levels, so they can protect their hearing without affecting the sound quality.”

In addition to professional applications, the DT 60 PRO’s can also be used with mobile consumer products such as MP3, CD and DVD players.

Aphex is now shipping their highly-anticipated audiophile-quality headphone distribution amplifier. The Model 454 HeadPod™ will be available from Aphex dealers with a suggested retail price of $249 USD.

“You can think of a headphone distribution amp as just a utility tool, but the HeadPod offers the advantage of audiophile-quality, high headroom monitoring with flexible signal routing and Aphex’ famous reliability. We originally designed it for our own tradeshow displays as there were no reasonably priced high-quality headphone amplifiers on the market. The people who have heard the HeadPod have been remarked on the clarity and bass extension, even at high levels through hard to drive headphones,” says Marvin Caesar, Aphex President.

The Model 454 HeadPod is a professional 4-output headphone distribution pod with four independent stereo power amplifiers. Working with any headphone type, the HeadPod provides high headroom to avoid clipping even at high sound levels. Designed for ultra low distortion and wide frequency response capabilities, the Model 454 also allows for longer listening sessions without listener fatigue. (more…)
