Description
The Sound of Large Studio Monitors on Headphones
The SMB-01L utilizes a 50mm diameter driver unit, further enhancing PHONON’s signature natural ultra-low range bass-monitoring capabilities. The high-end unit features a powerful magnetic circuit and a diaphragm with a “free edge” structure that brings a quantum improvement to the reproduction of raw sounds, increasing presence and achieving wide high-resolution dynamic frequency range playback.
With PHONON’s unique tuning method, the SMB-01L achieves a stunning acoustic balance and a sound that resembles that of large high-end audio monitoring systems.
The Revolutionary 50mm Driver Unit
The SMB-01L utilizes FOSTER Electric’s MT050A 50mm high-end driver unit. The driver’s “bio-dyna diaphragm,” made of bio-cellulose material, models the sound structure of a large speaker and features a “free-edge” structure that allows for a higher resolution and dynamic range.
The driver units create the ultimate standard of flatness for mid to low- frequencies, a wide reproductive band with significantly low distortion. Driver units with a wider diameter typically improve bass and limit treble playback, but with PHONON’s unique tuning method, the SMB-01L achieves a stunning acoustic balance and a sound that closely resembles that of large high-end audio systems.
The Switchable Side Plates
The switchable plate that lets you choose between a closed and a semi-open design. You can enjoy both closed sounds with more density and semi-open sound with a sense of liberation in one unit.
