Ultrasone Debuts First PRO Series Headphone with S-Logic™ Plus Technology

New PRO 900 headphone feature titanium-plated drivers, velvet earpads & new technology for improved tonal perception.

Wildomar, Calif. - (August 28, 2008) – Ultrasone Inc., distributor for German headphone manufacturer Ultrasone AG, is proud to announce the first headphone in the PRO Series with S-Logic™ Plus technology: the PRO 900. This new technology results in an impartial acoustic feeling that allows the listener even more of a spacious tonal perception, resulting in a headphone experience that is second to none.

Ultrasone’s PRO 900s are closed-back headphones that boast a classic black design, velvet covered black and silver ear pads and a diamond-cut logo insignia. The PRO 900 features a new 40mm titan-plated driver and a new soft USC-Cable that is paired with Neutrik connectors. Ultrasone’s newest headphones contain MU-Metal shielding (ULE technology) that reduce the amount of radiation directed to the listener by up to 98%, as compared to conventional headphones. The new headphones also contain Ultrasone’s patented S-Logic™ Plus technology for reduced sound pressure on the ear drum and improved tonal perception. Ultrasone’s PRO 900 comes in a hard-sided carrying case along with two removable cables (one spiral and one straight) and spare ear pads.

The headphones have a MSRP of $599.00 and will be available from Ultrasone’s network of dealers and at Ultrasone.

S-Logic™ Plus Technology
S-Logic™ Plus is the newest advancement in the S-Logic™ Natural Surround System. By acoustically redesigning the earcups, Ultrasone has squeezed a large soundstage into a more streamlined ear-cup. S-Logic™ Plus profits directly from innovations developed for Ultrasone’s flagship Edition range. This sophisticated new technology combines precision dampening with micro-acoustic reinforcement, allowing driver, buffer-board, and spatial parameters to complement one another in an optimal manner. The result is a most neutral sound impression with more vivid perception of voices and instruments.

PRO 900 Technical Specifications:

•S-Logic™ Plus Natural Surround Sound
•Dynamic principle
•Frequency range 6-42k Hz
•Impedance 40 Ohm
•Sound pressure level 96 dB
•Driver 40 mm Titanium Plated
•Weight 295 g (without cord)

Ultrapaul:
Thank you for this information. Please note a correction I made. The correction is in bold in the paragraph where the date is. I replaced the word "product" with the word "proud" which I think is what was meant.

So where does this can fit in the lineup. Say with respect to the PROline750 or the ED9?

The main questions seem to be:

1. Is the "new" driver really different from the one currently used in the Pro750's & Edition 9's? And if so, how?

2. What changes does the S-Logic Plus make? Are the cup shapes different, or still the same Proline round shape?

Would it be a head to head competitor for a high-end dynamic closed can such as Denon 5000 or of the same from Audio-Technica. I think we haven't got many competitors for closed high end.
