Stax - SR-L500MK2

Description: NEW VERSION with detachable cable. The first SR-Lambda series was introduced 36 years ago and it has further developed into a new-generation SR-Lambda with its newly designed enclosure - the new SR-L500 advanced Lambda series Earspeaker.   TOP-QUALITY SOUND ELEMENT Hand-selected thin-film diaphragm, as well as tough stainless fixed electrodes, has been employed for the SR-L500. Thus, rich deep bass response, delicate high frequency, and soothing mid-range have been achieved in a balanced manner. 10-CLICK TYPE HEADBAND ASSEMBLY The headband (ARC) assembly of the SR-L500 is equipped with a 10-click slider mechanism for head pad height adjustment adopted from SR-009 and SR-507. Once adjusted, the slider always maintains its optimal position to make readjustment unnecessary. This enables you to enjoy hours of pleasant music listening with utmost comfort. NEW LOW CAPACITANCE HiFC WIDE CABLE High-performance pure copper HiFC™ developed by Hitachi employs the core wires. HiFC has various advantages, including similar sonic characteristics as used in SR-009 and SR-L500 6N high purity 99.99999% copper wires. The entire cable is then arranged in a flat, wide format configuration to lower the capacitance between each wire and finished with the most suitable structure to drive the earspeaker.  NEW HIGH-QUALITY SYNTHETIC LEATHER EARPADS: The new earpad design is carefully handcrafted with high-quality synthetic leather for utmost comfort for hours of music enjoyment as well as sound performance.
