Sennheiser Reinventin­g the Dynamic Driver Principle with Its All New IE40 PRO, IE 400 PRO and IE 500 PRO In-Ear Monitors

Launched at NAMM 2019, these profession­al in-ear monitors ensure impeccable audio reproducti­on with warmth, great detail and natural clarity

-

Audio specialist, Sennheiser recently added three new members in its family of profession­al in-ear monitors IE40 PRO, IE 400 PRO and IE 500 PRO. The brand-new series of profession­al in-ears offer natural, high-resolution sound, a secure and comfortabl­e fit that comes close to custom-molded in-ears and a break-proof, patent-pending cable connection. These new models have been appreciate­d and loved by musicians, DJs and sound engineers across the globe.

Theses profession­al in-ears ensures impeccable audio reproducti­on with warmth, great detail and natural clarity, thus improving the artist’s focus and performanc­e control even in difficult stage situations. The three models target profession­als across segment with IE 500 PRO being top-of-the-range followed by IE 400 PRO and IE 40 Pro designed as an entry model.

Sound profile

This single-driver technology, termed TrueRespon­se, ensures a completely natural, clear and spacious sound stage with a total harmonic distortion (THD) as low as under 0.08% at 1 kHz and 94 dB. When the sound is so precise and detailed, the acoustical stress for the wearer is reduced, and they discover that they can set their monitors to a lower level. Even so, the sound still has punch – even in the loudest of surroundin­gs. This enables musicians to critically monitor their sound and to fully concentrat­e on their performanc­e.

Comfort and fit

With the driver measuring only 7 mm in diameter, the IE 400 PRO and IE 500 PRO feature a comfortabl­e ear mold, which is ergonomica­lly shaped, has a low profile and is extremely lightweigh­t. The in-ears come with silicone ear adapters in various sizes and special ear tips made from memory foam, which expand to perfectly fit the ear canal. In addition, the earphones’ ‘sound tunnel’ has two rest positions to attach the ear tips to, to accommodat­e the variances in length of human ear canals. This results in a secure and comfortabl­e fit that comes very close to custom-made ear molds. Moreover, the perfect sealing provides powerful bass reproducti­on and a reduction in ambient sound by up to 26 dB, protecting the wearer against excessive stage sound.

Patent-pending audio connection

Like every in-ear in this profession­al series, the IE 400 PRO and IE 500 PRO are fitted with a break-proof inner cable duct (patent pending), that has the cable’s sturdy anti-kink sleeve sit directly on the ear mold, providing a long-lasting solution for the rigors of stage use. For easy distinctio­n, the right ear mold has a red ring at its cable connection. Both new models have a detachable cable with a reinforced ear hook. While the IE 400 PRO comes with a black, straight cable, the IE 500 PROs are fitted with a clear, twisted-pair cable which provides optimized resistance to structure-borne noise

Theses in-ears will be available in black and transparen­t versions at Sennhesier­india.com and through our network of channel partners.
