Audeze annonce le casque magnétique planaire Manny Marroquin Signature Series MM-500
Le premier des produits de la série MM a également été lancé sous la forme du MM-500, qui prend plusieurs repères du LCD-5. Il dispose d'un nouveau design de châssis pour un confort sur de longues sessions avec une masse réduite de 495 grammes par rapport au 600+ g des poids lourds sous l'égide d'Audeze. Le MM-500 est conçu pour fonctionner aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur du studio, avec une faible impédance et une sensibilité élevée qui facilitent la conduite depuis n'importe quelle console, interface or laptop. It is an open-back, over-ear set of planar magnetic headphones with Audeze’s Uniforce voice coil over an ultra-thin diaphragm, and utilizes Fazor waveguides coupled with Fluxor magnets. The transducer is 90 mm in size and the use of the LCD-5 style ear pads also indicates the MM-500 is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the prosumer and audiophile market. Le Audeze MM-500 costs $1699 and will be available for purchase soon. Read past the break for reactions on the collboration as well as more information about the new product itself.
