ELITE LIVE SOUND MIXING MADE EASIER: ULTRASONE HEADPHONES TOUR THE WORLD WITH MAURICIO VILAR
In-Demand FOH Mixer Depends on ULTRASONE PROline 750 and HFI-550 Headphones for International Superstars Alex Campos, Mauricio Y Palo de Agua, Ilona
FRANKLIN, TN: Smart live sound mixers know that the road to a big mix starts inside the headphones. For global FOH guru Mauricio Vilar, the extreme accuracy and safety of ULTRASONE headphones are essential for delivering pristine live sound to the huge crowds that go to see his superstar clientele.
The chief engineer for Bogota, Columbia-based live sound company C.Vilar ltda., Vilar specifies ULTRASONE PROline 750 and HFI-550 headphones to meet his tough standards. “I call my approach ‘O.A.D.’: Obsessive Attention to Detail,” Vilar says. “I care a lot about everything, right down to what strings the guitar player is using -- I feel I have to operate the best gear on the planet. ULTRASONE headphones allow me to hear something different – a more open stereo image in a very reliable, road-worthy package.”
On his recent tours with international megastars Alex Campos, Mauricio Y Palo de Agua, and the Grammy-nominated Ilona, Vilar was able to run through setups at maximum speed with the remarkable clarity of ULTRASONE’S patented S-Logic™ technology. This patented system reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, while delivering an amazing natural surround sound effect to the listener.
“My job is very challenging because I often have to do 10-minute sound check and sound like a CD -- this is what clients expect,” he notes. “Recently I had maybe 30 minutes to do a sound check for a major Columbian artist, but there was also a U.S.O. – Unidentified Sounding Object – in there! All I asked the system engineer was this: ‘Please turn off the P.A.’, and I started doing a quick sound check on my ULTRASONE PROline 750 headphones. After two songs I pulled up on the master fader, and got a very happy look from the artist’s manager.
“This technique works very well for many FOH situations. Why sound check a big Latin band with 48 line array speakers on? It’s much more efficient to make a balanced mix on your headphones, and then if something is wrong with the sound, you know you have to work with the system settings -- not your mix.”
In addition to S-Logic, all ULTRASONE headphones feature the patented ULE (Ultra Low Emissions) technology. As a result, all ULTRASONE products have lower magnetic field emissions than any other headphones, reducing electromagnetic field radiation – an effect commonly associated with cell phone use, for example - by up to 98%.
At one of South America’s most successful live sound companies, ULTRASONE headphones fit right in with a serious passion for great audio. “I love music: I love mixing, playing my brand new steel string guitar, and listening to the 8000 songs I have on my iPod,” Mauricio Vilar says. “I’m thankful to have the best gear on the planet to operate. With equipment like ULTRASONE headphones, things sound like they are supposed to sound.”
ULTRASONE distributes the Special Edition 9 headphones, and HFI, Proline, DJ, iCans and Headsets lines, along with the Sistema and RPX-33 headphone amps by RudiStor Sound Systems of Italy. See more information at www.ultrasoneusa.com.

ANTON FIG DRUMS UP SAFER TRACKING SESSIONS WITH
ULTRASONE HFI-550 HEADPHONES
Legendary ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ Drummer Maximizes Performance in Studio and e-Sessions, Equipped with Superior Protection and Sound of ULTRASONE
NEW YORK: Anton Fig, one of modern music’s most-heard drummers, has just changed how he hears his drums in the studio. The influential rhythm master known for his nightly appearances on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and recordings with Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Madonna and far beyond now hits the studio with the superior safety and full frequency response of ULTRASONE HFI-550 headphones.
“I need to use headphones a lot,” Fig says. “When you’re recording, it’s critically important to get the best possible sound in your headphones so you can play the drums with total confidence. As soon as I started using the ULTRASONE HFI-550 headphones on sessions, I was very impressed -- they really sound great.”
Fig points to the tight seal of the ULTRASONE HFI-550’s closed headphone design, and natural surround sound of ULTRASONE’s patented S-Logic™ technology, as strong assets for drummers who want to protect their hearing and hear the full sonic picture, both live and in the studio. In addition, the HFI-550 features a 50mm driver for enhanced bass response which makes them particularly well-suited for the needs of drummers, bassists and DJ’s.
“I like my headphones to fit tightly for starters, and the ULTRASONE HFI-550s have a good, snug fit that helps to control the outside sound without eliminating it entirely,” says Fig. “They sound nice and clear with a full response across the frequency spectrum, but without the excessive top end that can kill your ears or excessive bottom that can make things unclear. Besides giving you a better picture of the audio, the clarity of the ULTRASONEs means you can turn down the overall volume of your mix, which is definitely better for your ears.”
Extreme accuracy and significantly increased safety levels are hallmarks of ULTRASONE headphones, for musicians and audio professionals who require the ultimate personal solution for mixing, mastering, tracking and reference applications. ULTRASONE’s S-Logic™ technology reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, and thanks to its patented ULE (Ultra Low Emissions) technology, all ULTRASONE products have lower magnetic field emissions than any other headphones, reducing electromagnetic field radiation – an effect commonly associated with cell phone use, for example - by up to 98%.
In addition to traditional studio dates, Fig has been employing the ULTRASONEs for remote recording dates enabled by the eSession online collaboration platform, as well as mixing and editing tracks on his portable Pro Tools system. “eSession is a nice alternative for recording when you can’t physically be with the other musicians, and the right headphones are a crucial link in the signal path for these projects,” says Fig. “If I’m home editing my performances late at night, that’s another time when it’s preferable to be on the ULTRASONEs. They’re clear and powerful-sounding, with a big dynamic range, which is what I demand from anything that I listen on.”
For a man whose world-class drumming skills have appropriately landed him one of the best jobs on the planet, the ULTRASONE HFI-550 headphones have made making music even better. “You can trust the sound of ULTRASONEs,” Anton Fig says. “When you trust what you hear, you can play more relaxed. And when you can play more relaxed, that leads to all kinds of good things.”
ULTRASONE distributes the recently released Special Edition 9 headphones, and HFI, Proline, DJ, iCans and Headsets lines, along with the Sistema and RPX-33 headphone amps by RudiStor Sound Systems of Italy. See more information at www.ultrasoneusa.com.

ULTRASONE ENSURES SAFE LISTENING FOR STUDENTS
AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY EVENT FEATURING EDDIE KRAMER
Company Contributes Six Pairs of ULTRASONE HFI-550 Headphones with
S-Logic™ and ULE Technology to Recording Workshop with Legendary Producer
NEW YORK: New York University students recently had an opportunity to work hands-on with the esteemed music producer Eddie Kramer during an intensive two-day session. Throughout the tracking sessions at NYU’s state-of-the-art Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, students benefited from the added safety and superior performance of six pairs of ULTRASONE HFI-550 headphones contributed by the company especially for the event.
Kramer helmed the recording of the song “New Generation” by the NYU student band Dibble Edge, with the confidence that guitarist Brandon Intelligator, Bassist/vocalist Tom Schecter, and drummer Andrew Nusca were getting the full picture from their headphones. “I use the ULTRASONES in the studio because I’ve found them to be very effective as devices for keeping out extraneous noise,” Kramer says. “They fit very well and sound really great, with an especially clean bottom end.
“Drummers in particular like them because you can crank them up very loud without breaking up -- they can pound away and still have great communication with the mix, which is what we’re after. For guitarists and vocalists, it’s the same thing. They really benefit from the superior isolation that the ULTRASONE headphones provide.”
The ULTRASONE’s were extremely helpful to the band’s young drummer while he worked with the man who has recorded Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and many more. “The ULTRASONE HFI-550s were clear and didn't distort the sound even at really high volume levels,” confirms Nusca. “I could clearly hear Brandon and Tom separately, even with loads of distortion and the din of my own kit in the mix. Sonically, instead of a thin, muddy thud coming through the cans, there was a room full of real rock band. The wire stayed strong, despite my acrobatics on the throne, and -- maybe best of all -- the 550s stayed sealed around my ears and on top of my head without slipping off.”
The presence of ULTRASONE headphones illustrates the company’s ongoing support for the students and faculty of innovative audio education programs such as NYU’s. “It was a privilege to be involved with an icon like Eddie Kramer and the highly impressive Clive Davis School for the Recording Arts at this special event,” says Cathy Kelly, President, ULTRASONE of America. “The presence of the ULTRASONE HFI-550’s demonstrate to young engineers that there is a safe way for musicians to experience a fulfilling mix while tracking.”
Amazing accuracy and significantly increased safety levels are hallmarks of ULTRASONE headphones, for audio professionals who require the ultimate personal solution for mixing, mastering, tracking and reference applications. ULTRASONE has incorporated S-Logic™ technology into all of its revolutionary headphones, a patented system that reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, while delivering an amazing natural surround sound effect to the listener.
For Nusca and his classmates, the ULTRASONE’s were part of an unforgettable learning experience. “I've got to admit, I was pretty nervous leading into the Kramer sessions that weekend,” he says. “I kept thinking, ‘I'm only 21, how did I end up recording with Eddie?’ Thankfully, Kramer's much more patient - and funny - than you would think for someone who has worked with such fine artists in the past. Recording was quick and painless, and we laid down basics in only a few takes. As for the mixing, it's all in Eddie's hands - just watching his fingers finesse the mixing board was amazing. The sound that resulted - and trust me, listen to the track on our MySpace page (www.myspace.com/dibbleedge), it's good - that's the icing on the cake.”

ULTRASONE HEADPHONES ARE THE ELITE SOLUTION FOR
TED PERLMAN SESSIONS WITH BRIAN WILSON, BURT BACHARACH
Top Producer Turns Clients on to ULTRASONE HFI-700 and PROline 750 for Tracking, Mixing on Upcoming Release, “New Music from an Old Friend”
LOS ANGELES: Positive vibes are everywhere at the L.A. recording enclave of producer/engineer Ted Perlman, but the happiest person at Buffalo Sound is always the one wearing the headphones. Using the full-frequency response of ULTRASONE
HFI-700 and PROline 750 headphones, Perlman recently treated the ears of legendary singers Brian Wilson and Burt Bacharach to the ultimate studio monitoring experience as they recorded the Phil Ramone-produced release, “New Music from an Old Friend: Singer Songwriter Legends.”
“I have access to the most unbelievable singers of all time, and the first thing they say is that the headphone mix sounds better here there than anywhere else,” the always upbeat Perlman says. “The ULTRASONE HFI-700 and PROline 750’s that I use are not just another headphone: they’re in their own league. With the range that the ULTRASONE’s display, you’re hearing what you’re supposed to be hearing. The bass is amazing – almost like a mini-subwoofer – and with their vastly reduced sound pressure you’re also saving your ears.”
Perlman is constantly recording icons, from Wilson and Bacharach, to the famed Waters Family of background singers, American Idol’s Kimberly Locke, harmonica legend Tommy Morgan, and hundreds more. The common thread of any session is the importance Perlman places on providing an outstanding headphone mix during tracking. “I know how important it is to get the headphone mix right to the singer and other musicians,” explains Perlman. “Once you give them a great sound, you’ll get performances that beat anything from anywhere, even if you’re working in a small studio.”
In addition to the sound they deliver to his high-profile clients, Perlman’s ULTRASONE headphones employ S-Logic™ technology, a patented system that reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, while delivering an amazing natural surround sound effect to the listener. “I get a more natural sound from the ULTRASONE’s, and they don’t do damage to your ears like a lot of other headphones do,” Perlman says. “Even after a long time under the ULTRASONE’s, there’s no ear fatigue. I can take them off and head straight to the speakers without the need to rest my ears and readjust.”
During the mix phase, the GRAMMY Award-winning producer is far from done with his ULTRASONE PROline 750’s. “In headphones, stereo information is much more accurate than in near- or mid-field speakers,” he points outs. “You can find your mistakes very quickly using headphones – you might realize you panned something to two o’clock when you only meant for it to be at one o’clock, for example. And since the 750’s have zero leakage, you can instantly be enveloped totally in the mix.”
Whether the application is tracking, mixing, reference or mastering, additional safety comes via ULTRASONE’s patented ULE (Ultra Low Emissions) technology. All ULTRASONE products have lower magnetic field emissions than any other headphones, reducing electromagnetic field radiation – an effect commonly associated with cell phone use, for example - by up to 98%. As a result, ULTRASONE headphones are certified by the Technical Surveillance Organization and Consumer Advice Centers to have certified low magnetic field emissions.
With another elite performer always on the schedule at Buffalo Sound, Ted Perlman can count on them feeling the music while safely ensconced in their ULTRASONE’s. “For producing or recording -- they’re simply brilliant sounding,” he says. “It’s just a different level of headphones.”
ULTRASONE distributes the recently released Special Edition 9 headphones, and HFI, Proline, DJ, iCans and Headsets lines, along with the Sistema and RPX-33 headphone amps by RudiStor Sound Systems of Italy. See more information at www.ultrasoneusa.com.

ULTRASONE INTRODUCES CUSTOM HEADPHONE AMPLIFIERS FOR OUTSTANDING AUDIOPHILE PERFORMANCE
RPX-33 Amps and NX-02 Sistema from RudiStor Sound Systems Pair With ULTRASONE for Unparalleled Personal Listening, On Display at Booth #6799
NAMMSHOW07, BOOTH # 6799: ULTRASONE of America, LLC, the United States distributor for premier German headphone manufacturer ULTRASONE AG, is introducing two new amplifiers created exclusively for the company’s product line.
Designed and built by Italian manufacturer RudiStor Sound Systems, the new RPX-33 and NX-02 Sistema promise an obsessively pristine signal path to audiophiles in search of inspirational new pinnacles in sonic quality.
Both amplification systems were created to bring the already unsurpassed performance of the ULTRASONE PROline 750, PROline 2500 and Edition 9 to even higher levels than previously thought possible. As a result, users seeking the ultimate personal solution for experiencing music now have it available with the combination of ULTRASONE headphones and RudiStor amplifiers.
“Our focus on headphone amplifier design was borne out of a deep passion: a passion for music, accuracy and the emotional heights achievable only via the high-quality reproduction of a complete headphone system,” says Dr. Rudi Stor, who founded RudiStor Sound Systems in Trieste, Italy in 2003. “We specifically tuned and dedicated our newest amps to the ULTRASONE PROline 2500 because they embody the principles of the ideal headphone: detail, head-stage, sound depth, wide frequency extension from the deepest bass to extreme highs, great control dynamics, micro-dynamics and punch.
“Only when all these parameters are added to a neutral, uncolored sound signature, do you have the makings of a truly outstanding, audiophile-grade headphone. We have found all those qualities in ULTRASONE’S current production line.”
The RPX-33 dual mono topology headphone amp from RudiStor uses a mixture of clean, optimized and pure audiophile electronics to deliver the finest sound available. The electronic design for the all-discrete RPX-33 was precisely calculated and very cleanly implemented to ensure the shortest signal path, a must†in the audiophile worlds. In addition, the power supply uses a capacitance multiplier to deliver†pure DC power for pure sound and black background. The result of this groundbreaking design is high transparency, a real life soundstage, deep and full bass and refined mid-highs, astonishing dynamics, and absolutely crystal clear sound. Two headphones output jacks are provided for increased versatility: one for hi-sensitivity with lower power (L), and the other for low-sensitivity headphones with higher output (H).
Designed especially to be a perfect match for the ULTRASONE PROline 2500, RudiStor Sound Systems’ NX-02 Sistema is an IC-based amp that further enhances these headphones’ clear, natural sound and sensational feeling of actually being there with the music. This more affordable system has exceptional detail, tight powerful bass and clear highs. Like the RPX-33, it provides a highly satisfying experience for exacting listeners.
As with all their revolutionary headphones, ULTRASONE has incorporated S-Logic™ technology into the Edition 9, a patented system that reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, while delivering an amazing natural surround sound effect to the listener.
Thanks to its patented ULE (Ultra Low Emission) technology, all ULTRASONE products have lower magnetic field emissions than any other headphones, reducing electromagnetic field radiation – an effect commonly associated with cell phone use, for example - by up to 98%. As a result, ULTRASONE headphones are certified by the Technical Surveillance Organization and Consumer Advice Centers to have certified low magnetic field emissions.
In keeping with ULTRASONE’s reputation for complete attention to detail, the RudiStor headphone amplifiers are made with a matching color scheme to the ULTRASONE PROline 750, PROline 2500 and Edition 9 headphones, ensuring a visual aesthetic in line with the outstanding audio experience that this audiophile-grade signal path offers.
According to Cathy Kelly, President of ULTRASONE of America, LLC, the high standards of a superior headphone amplifier mirror those of a superior headphone. “Apart from pure power, a standard-setting headphone amplifier must have all the quality of an excellent, traditional amplifier - but those qualities must then be multiplied by a significant factor,” she observes. “Headphones are more sensitive, detailed, and dynamic than equivalent speakers, so what is not detected by any speaker is detected by some headphones to a startling degree.
“As a result, the quality of reproduction must be superior, clean, transparent and dynamic. RudiStor Sound Systems’ meticulous work has resulted in an amplifier that, when combined with select ULTRASONE headphones, achieves this level of reproduction in unparalleled fashion. With the addition of these amplifiers to our line, it is nothing short of exhilarating for ULTRASONE to introduce what we believe is a landmark system for the audiophile community.”
RPX-33 Pricing: The RPX-33 Amp and ULTRASONE Edition 9 (w/gift ULTRASONE iCans): $3299
Amp only: $1799
NX-02 Sistema Pricing: The NX-02 Amp and ULTRASONE 2500: $1199
Amp only: $875
Experience the Edition 9 and ULTRASONE’s HFI, Proline, DJ, iCans and Headsets lines, along with their Sistema and RPX-33 headphone amps by RudiStor Sound Systems of Italy, at NAMM Show 2007 Booth #6799 in Anaheim, CA, January 18-21.

The electronic design for the all-discrete RPX-33 was precisely calculated and very cleanly implemented to ensure the shortest signal path, a must†in the pro audio and audiophile worlds. In addition, the power supply uses a capacitance multiplier to deliver†pure DC power for pure sound and black background. The result of this groundbreaking design is high transparency, a real life soundstage, deep and full bass and refined mid-highs, astonishing dynamics, and absolutely crystal clear sound. Two headphones output jacks are provided for increased versatility: one for hi-sensitivity with lower power (L), and the other for low-sensitivity headphones with higher output (H).
Designed especially to be a perfect match for the ULTRASONE PROline 2500, RudiStor Sound Systems’ NX-02 Sistema is an IC-based amp that further enhances these headphones’ clear, natural sound and sensational feeling of actually being there with the music. This more affordable system has exceptional detail, tight powerful bass and clear highs. Like the RPX-33, it provides a highly productive listening experience in a control room, personal studio or mastering suite.
As with all their revolutionary headphones, ULTRASONE has incorporated S-Logic™ technology into the Edition 9, a patented system that reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, while delivering an amazing natural surround sound effect to the listener.
Thanks to its patented PROline technology, all ULTRASONE products have lower magnetic field emissions than any other headphones, reducing electromagnetic field radiation – an effect commonly associated with cell phone use, for example - by up to 98%. As a result, ULTRASONE headphones are certified by the Technical Surveillance Organization and Consumer Advice Centers to have certified low magnetic field emissions.
In keeping with ULTRASONE’s reputation for complete attention to detail, the RudiStor headphone amplifiers are made with a matching color scheme to the ULTRASONE PROline 750, PROline 2500 and Edition 9 headphones, ensuring a visual aesthetic in line with the outstanding audio experience that this critical listening signal path offers.
According to Cathy Kelly, President of ULTRASONE of America, LLC, the high standards of a superior headphone amplifier mirror those of a superior headphone. “Apart from pure power, a standard-setting headphone amplifier must have all the quality of an excellent, traditional amplifier - but those qualities must then be multiplied by a significant factor,” she observes. “Headphones are more sensitive, detailed, and dynamic than equivalent speakers, so what is not detected by any speaker is detected by some headphones to a startling degree.
“As a result, the quality of reproduction must be superior, clean, transparent and dynamic. RudiStor Sound Systems’ meticulous work has resulted in an amplifier that, when combined with select ULTRASONE headphones, achieves this level of reproduction in unparalleled fashion. With the addition of these amplifiers to our line, it is nothing short of exhilarating for ULTRASONE to introduce what we believe is a landmark system for professional audio critical listening applications.”

Amp only: $1799
NX-02 Sistema Pricing: The NX-02 Amp and ULTRASONE 2500: $1199

FRANK SERAFINE CAPTURES ‘OFF THE PATH AT THE GRAND CANYON’ DOCUMENTARY WITH ULTRASONE HFI 550 HEADPHONES
Leading Sound Designer & Field Recordist Depends on Extreme Accuracy and Safety of Full ULTRASONE Headphone Line In the Field and Studio
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, AZ: “Fearless” is a perfect adjective for Frank Serafine, one of Hollywood’s most sought after sound designers, field recordists and sound library producers. A perfectionist on a constant quest to capture total reality when he goes out in the field, Serafine monitored exclusively with ULTRASONE PROline 550 headphones when he recently recorded all the sound for the upcoming television documentary “Off the Path at the Grand Canyon”.
A pioneering sound designer/composer who first made his mark with classics like Star Trek and Tron, and continues to impact modern motion pictures and television with The Serafine Collection of sound effects (SFX) discs, Serafine’s audio adventures in challenging locations like the Grand Canyon depends first and foremost on the accuracy of ULTRASONE. “Out in the field you’re relying on your headphones – it’s one of the most important parts of the process,” he says. “I’ve been gathering SFX for over twenty years, and I’ve found that getting the right material is a very complicated art form. A big part of that is knowing how to mic it, and the other part is knowing how to hear it in the headset.”
Whether Serafine is balanced precariously on a cliff or safely ensconced in his Simi Valley, CA, studio, the full line of ULTRASONE HFI and Proline headphones are the standard for ultra-near-field recording, tracking and reference. “ULTRASONE has blazed a new trail in headphone technology,” he states. “Whether I’m monitoring for stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 surround, with ULTRASONE headphones I’m hearing the sound in 3D. It accentuates the sound for the most accurate image and sound quality.
“The way that ULTRASONE has positioned the speaker inside the headphone also allows me to listen without fatigue for longer periods. That’s extremely important to me, because in the studio and the field I often find myself 100% under headphones.”
Amazing accuracy and significantly increased safety levels are hallmarks of ULTRASONE headphones, for audio professionals who require the ultimate personal solution for mixing, mastering, tracking and reference applications. ULTRASONE has incorporated S-Logic™ technology into all of its revolutionary headphones, a patented system that reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, while delivering an amazing natural surround sound effect to the listener.
Thanks to its patented ULE (Ultra Low Emissions) technology, all ULTRASONE products have lower magnetic field emissions than any other headphones, reducing electromagnetic field radiation – an effect commonly associated with cell phone use, for example - by up to 98%. As a result, ULTRASONE headphones are certified by the Technical Surveillance Organization and Consumer Advice Centers to have certified low magnetic field emissions.
In addition to heightened sound quality and comfort, Serafine also benefited from other advanced features of his ULTRASONE headphones in the often perilous conditions presented by recording in the Grand Canyon. “They come with two detachable cables – one coiled and one straight,” Serafine explains. “That’s extremely handy to me, because I’m constantly on the run. The detachable cables help me to get in and out very quickly, instead of trying to get them unsnarled.
“During the shooting of ‘Off the Path…’, the crew was often separated on two different edges of the canyon, and we slated everything with walkie talkies. It was fairly windy out there, which made the closed design and tight seal of the ULTRASONE PROline 550 essential because I needed to keep that wind noise on the outside.”
Designed to provide unprecedented accuracy and safety, ULTRASONE headphones have become an essential tool for two of the most discerning ears in audio production. “Headphones are the foundation of field recording,” Frank Serafine says. “I can’t imagine working without my ULTRASONE’s.”
ULTRASONE distributes the recently released Special Edition 9 headphones, and HFI, Proline, DJ, iCans and Headsets lines, along with the Sistema and RPX-33 headphone amps by RudiStor Sound Systems of Italy. See more information at www.ultrasoneusa.com.

ULTRASONE HFI-700 HSD Headset Wins Pro Audio Review Excellence Award at This Year’s AES Show

ULTRASONE
Revolutionizes the Gaming Industry with the New HFI-15G Headphones
Headphones
provide the user with a natural surround sound listening experience without
the use of additional equipment and offer one of the industry's largest
frequency ranges
FRANKLIN, TN - APRIL 14, 2004 -
Ultrasone AG, the German manufacturer of high-end headphone products with
over 60 patents to its credit, has answered the call of gamers everywhere
with the release of the HFI-15G gaming headphones. The HFI-15G headphones
provide the user with a natural surround sound listening experience without
the use of additional equipment and offer one of the industry's largest
frequency ranges at 20Hz to 20kHz. The HFI-15G's also are 40% safer for
your ears, allowing for safer listening at higher levels. "We developed
the HFI-15G headphones to fill important need for the gaming community,"
explains Cathy Kelly, Chief Operating Officer for ULTRASONE of America,
LLC, the company's U.S. distributor. "Up to now, in order to get the full
surround sound experience from a set of headphones, the only option gamers
had was to purchase expensive 5.1 surround sound receivers or other bulky
equipment. With the HFI-15Gs, the only equipment that is needed is the
headphones." As gaming technology becomes more advanced, ULTRASONE is
meeting the challenge by developing a headphone that allows gamers to
fully experience the new advances in sound technology. With the HFI-15Gs,
sounds appear to be detached and positioned around the listener, giving
them the distinct advantage of hearing such sounds as footsteps approaching
them from behind, a presence next to them, or sounds ahead of them. The
HFI-15G's promise to forever change the listening experience for gamers.
The Technology Behind the ULTRASONE HFI-15Gs
All ULTRASONE headphones incorporate the company's patented S-LogicT technology.
The headphones use decentralized transducer positioning to reflect sound
off the listeners' outer ear, creating a natural, three-dimensional surround
sound field that appears to be broad, detached, and located in front of
the listener. The decentralized sound field significantly reduces pressure
on the ear drum, making ULTRASONE headphones 40% safer than any other
headphones on the market. The HFI-15Gs can be enjoyed for hours without
discomfort, fatigue, or hearing damage. In addition, the HFI-15Gs provide
the clearest and crispest sounds of any headphone on the market within
one of the largest frequency ranges of any gaming headphone - a response
rate of 20Hz - 20kHz. This allows the headphones to produce very high
and very low tones with very high quality. Finally, the S-LogicT technology,
combined with the company's patented PROlineT technology, helps reduce
electromagnetic field emissions (EMFs) by up to 98%.
