Shure Adds To Listening Product Range

News Image
Shure has expanded its range of listening products with the introduction of three new high-end models. The products will be unveiled at the Fujiya Avic Headphone Festival in Tokyo later this month.

The newest additions are:

• The KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System – a Sound Isolating™ electrostatic earphone and amplifier system, for use with portable and traditional media players.

• The SHA900 Portable Listening Amplifier – a standalone amplifier designed for use with premium-quality headphones and earphones.

• The SE846 Sound Isolating Earphones in a new black metallic finish.

KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System
The KSE1500 is designed for audio consumers who want to enhance their listening experience by achieving optimum performance from their current media players, smartphones, tablets, or computers. It is the first Sound Isolating Earphones to feature electrostatic technology, and utilises virtually weightless, massless diaphragms. It provides accurate sound reproduction with a wider frequency range than standard dynamic or armature driver technologies. Combined with a portable DAC amplifier, the KSE1500 provides listeners with a high-fidelity portable audio experience.

The KSE1500 system features single-driver electrostatic Sound Isolating Earphones matched to a USB digital-to-analogue-converter (DAC/ADC) that processes digital audio (MAC, PC, iOS, Android) directly via a micro-USB connection, and also accepts analogue audio via a direct line in. An analogue signal can completely bypass the DSP for full analogue audio experience.

"Over eight years of R&D and product engineering reach their conclusion today with the introduction of the KSE1500," said Ron Hautzinger, Product Manager at Shure Europe. "Shure already has much experience in designing Sound Isolating Earphones, but our challenge in creating the KSE1500 was to combine that experience with the acoustic excellence of electrostatic technology."

SHA900 Portable Listening Amplifier
The SHA900 is a premium portable audio amplifier with a built-in digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) for use with portable digital audio sources and high-quality headphones or earphones. The SHA900 features a customisable 4-band parametric EQ, rechargeability and can process digital audio directly via a micro-USB connector, and, like the KSE1500, can accept analogue audio via a direct line in that bypasses the DSP.

"Our research shows that customers are increasingly interested in high-resolution sound, delivered via solutions that offer improved audio performance," added Ron Hautzinger. "With this in mind, the SHA900 is designed to properly drive premium headphones and earphones in a linear, stable fashion, and so to provide a consistent listening experience that remains true to the source material across multiple portable and domestic listening platforms."

SE846-K Sound Isolating Earphones in Black Metallic
The SE846 Sound Isolating Earphones has been released in a new black metallic colour variation, the SE846-K. Designed for professionals and audiophiles, the SE846 earphones feature Quad High-Definition MicroDrivers in a three-way configuration for low-, mid-, and high-frequency distribution. Offering a low-pass filter, a subwoofer for low-end performance that doesn't sacrifice clarity or detail, and high sensitivity, the SE846 provided the design and development benchmarks for the new Shure SHA900 Portable Listening Amplifier.
