Faithfully reproduce every performance

With a Penta Balanced Armature system including magnesium super tweeter, integrated magnesium inner housing and an optimised sound path, these stage monitor headphones faithfully reproduce even the most subtle sounds and emotions.

Penta BA system
Penta Balanced Armature system for optimal stage sound

For clean high notes, natural tones and the pure emotion behind every performance, the IER-M9 has a Penta BA system including a magnesium super tweeter. Sony’s original T-shaped Balanced Armature directly drives the diaphragm for a more linear motion and clean, faithful high notes.

Magnesium diaphragm super tweeter 

The IER-M9 super tweeter diaphragm is made of light weight and rigid magnesium alloy to deliver the fast dynamic transient of performance. The unique BA unit design also benefits from extremely low resonance thanks to high internal loss. Internal wiring is upgraded with a new silver-coated copper voice coil and gold-plated terminals, faithfully reproducing sound without sacrificing even micro signals so pitch, harmonics, and emotion are portrayed.

Audio grade film capacitor
Audio grade film capacitor for less distortion 

Our custom audio grade film capacitor in the cross-over circuit delivers much lower distortion. The audio grade capacitor of the IER-M9 delivers fine detail sound. Plus, audio grade solder also helps minimise any loss in signal path. 

Beautifully designed for accurate tonal balance

With an integrated magnesium inner housing and optimised sound paths, the IER-M9 headphones deliver balanced tones and every nuance of your performance.

Integrated Magnesium BA housing
Integrated magnesium inner housing to reduce vibration

A highly rigid housing keeps the BA units firmly in place, helping to eliminate vibration and keeping sound clear without losing even the most minute detail in your sound.

Optimised sound path
Optimised sound path

A wide and short sound path made of magnesium alloy reduces frequency peaks and dips, to give a monitor sound you can rely on for critical listening accuracy.

Finer details and musical expression captured without loss

Silver-coated oxygen-free copper cables, a natural silk braid cable insulator with non-magnetic undercoat plug and a 4.4mm standard balanced connection cable give less sound degradation, finer detail and faithfully reproduced musical expression.

A 4.4mm standard balanced connection cable separates left and right sound signals completely, which minimises cross-talk that results in sound deterioration.

Silver-coated OFC
Silver-coated OFC

Silver-coated oxygen-free copper wire minimises resistance and signal-transmission loss. The result is less sound degradation, finer detail and smoother treble sounds.

Natural silk braid and non-magnetic undercoat terminal
Silk braid insulator and non-magnetic plug

Vibration is absorbed by the silk braid cable insulator to minimise rustling when the cord is touched. A gold-plated plug with non-magnetic undercoat preserves signal purity.
