NEW STAX SR-X9000 EARSPEAKER - High-end Over-ear Open Design Wired Electrostatic Headphones

STAX SR-X9000

The STAX SR-X9000 electrostatic earspeakers are the pinnacle of audio technology, surpassing the acclaimed SR-009 to become STAX's new flagship model. These earspeakers feature the revolutionary MLER-3 four-layer fixed electrode, incorporating a large metal mesh that significantly reduces air resistance and reflection, resulting in unparalleled sound transparency. Utilizing advanced diffused junction (thermocompression bonding) technology, the MLER-3 fixed electrodes harness the ideal properties of metal mesh for superior audio performance.

Key Features:

- MLER-3 Fixed Electrode: The newly developed four-layer electrode with metal mesh for reduced air resistance and enhanced sound transparency.

- Ultra-thin Diaphragm: Made of super engineering plastic film, providing exceptional transient characteristics and improved sound linearity across the frequency range.

- Increased Diaphragm Area: 20% larger than the SR-009S, delivering the widest sound field ever achieved.

- Machined Aluminum Enclosure: Robust design eliminates unwanted vibrations and ensures smooth sound wave flow.

- Tilt Guard Mesh: Innovative design that controls sound reflection angles, minimizing detrimental effects on sound quality.

- Stainless Steel Arc Assembly: Enhanced durability and stability for a more comfortable fit.

- Genuine Leather Ear Pads: High breathability and softness for long-lasting comfort and reduced listening fatigue.

- 6NCu Ultra-pure Annealed Copper Wire: High and low-frequency improvements with silver-plated copper wire, offering versatile cable options (2.5m and 1.5m).
