ETYMOTIC ER-4S
Reference in-ear monitors
Standalone category
Etymotic acoustic research focuses on noise-isolating in-ear headphones. The ER4 MicroPro series earphones were the first earphones to be commercialised with balanced armature technology, are recognised worldwide for their accuracy of sound and are the reference for all other earphones. After more than 20 years, these reference-quality earphones remain the instrument of choice for serious sound engineers, audiophiles and musicians.

ETYMOTIC ER • 4S - Micro Pro earphones
ER - 4S earphones are designed to compensate for the high frequency range of any CD recording for accurate sound reproduction. Performing musicians often use them as ear monitors because the ER - 4S response is identical to that of monitor speakers. The high accuracy and exceptional sound isolation of the ER - 4S have made these earphones popular with musicians, sound engineers and audiophiles. ER - 4S earphones can be used with a headphone amplifier when using low-power portable devices.
For the headphones to be 100% accurate, the recording of a live performance must produce exactly the same sound on the ear drum as the original performance. To achieve this, the acoustic properties of the ear must be taken into account. The ear's acoustic resonance and horn effect maps the audio signal (2700 Hz) arriving at the open ear with high-frequency amplification to the same sound heard on the eardrum during normal hearing.
