CLEAR MG PRO is a professional open-back headphone that delivers precise sound reproduction across the entire frequency range.

CLEAR MG PRO is an open-back headphone that is essential for professional use where high sound quality is required. The goal of CLEAR MG PRO is to become the ultimate monitoring tool for music production. ■The history of Focal and the creation of CLEAR MG PRO In 2016, Focal launched Elear and Utopia. The most innovative thing about these two headphones is that they are the first to feature a completely open full-range electrodynamic transducer. The advanced nature of this technology means that it completely eliminates distortion caused by vents, while at the same time eliminating any compression in dynamics. After two years, the French-based company has released its predecessor, the Clear Professional. These over-ear headphones incorporate the same technology as Focal's exceptionally advanced speaker products, and have been developed with the aim of creating a very open design structure to improve sound, so much so that it feels like the headphones "disappear". After four years of research and development, Focal engineers have achieved an optimized combination of the important criteria for speaker drivers: lightness, hardness, and vibration absorption rate, compared to the previous model. The CLEAR MG PRO is equipped with a newly developed driver. This unique expertise, combined with the French manufacturing techniques acquired in our own factory, guarantees uncompromising quality. ■Newly developed magnesium driver The previous model, Clear Professional, is equipped with an "aluminum/magnesium" "M" type imparted dome, and has been highly acclaimed in many professional settings as a headphone that allows accurate monitoring from low to high frequencies. CLEAR MG PRO is equipped with a newly developed "magnesium" "M" type imparted dome. By changing from "aluminum/magnesium" to only "magnesium", the material has become lighter, harder, and has significantly improved vibration absorption rate. It is possible to remove vibrations that are different from the original sound due to physical distortion and resonance, providing higher resolution than ever before. Accurate monitoring is possible at any position over a wide frequency range (5Hz - 28kHz). ■Open section with honeycomb structure A new honeycomb grill is used for the open grill section of the headphones. The opening of the external ear cup is wider, allowing for monitoring with a more open feel closer to that of a speaker, while maintaining the same sound quality. ■Features ・Professional open-back headphones ・Remarkable tonal balance across the entire frequency range ・Precise depiction of the lowest frequencies ・Excellent high-frequency detail ・Listening experience rivaling that of monitor speakers ・Ergonomic and comfortable fit ・Two types of cables included for use with computers and audio interfaces ・Rugged dedicated hard case included, with storage space for iLok key (sold separately) ■Specifications ・Type: Over-ear open-back headphones ・Impedance: 55Ω ・Frequency response: 5Hz to 28kHz ・Sensitivity: 104dB SPL / 1mW @ 1kHz ・Loudspeaker: 40mm magnesium 'M'-shaped dome ・THD: 0.25% @ 1kHz / 100dB SPL ・Included cables: 5m unbalanced coiled cable (1/4" TRS jack) / 1.2m unbalanced cable (1/8" TRS jack) / stereo mini plug to standard plug conversion adapter ・Spare cushions: 2 sets included.
