Acoustune / MONITORRSONEPUR

Variations

New colors are now available in the Acoustune Monitor series “RS ONE”! These are the brand's first stage monitor earphones that combine high durability and monitoring performance.

■Highly robust body that resists shock, heat, and sweat
We have achieved a highly durable body by minimizing the number of parts and thoroughly researching the easily broken parts of earphones through market research. The housing consists of two parts and is made of polycarbonate, which has excellent impact resistance, weather resistance, and heat resistance. By increasing the rigidity of each component, we greatly reduce the risk of failure even in harsh environments. The faceplate plays the role of increasing the rigidity of the body while giving the earphone its identity. In addition, the compact body design allows for a wide range of uses by anyone.

■Milinx EL Driver combines high input resistance and high acoustic performance.
Acoustune is a brand based on a unique dynamic driver, and the diaphragm material is Milinx, a polymer biomaterial used in artificial skin and surgical sutures. The diaphragm made from Milinx is made into a thin film and optimized for the driver structure, and is lightweight yet has high strength and flexibility, and plays music with high resolution and a wide dynamic range with excellent transient characteristics. For the RS ONE, which was designed as a stage monitor, we utilized the know-how of this Milinx driver to develop a new ""Milinx EL driver"" for the RS ONE. The Milinx EL driver provides more accurate monitoring than regular Milinx drivers. The material used in the Milinx EL driver is an ultra-high-performance resin that is lightweight, extremely rigid, and has high internal loss, even though it is used for medical purposes, and boasts excellent acoustic performance. The large internal loss reduces unnecessary incidental noise and improves monitoring performance. In addition, in order to take advantage of this Milinx EL driver, we have created a large back cavity on the back of the diaphragm and placed the distance from the diaphragm to the grille, achieving high input resistance that allows normal use even after a momentary input of up to 250mW (*) signal. As a result, the earphone's speaker is robust enough to resist damage even if there is a sudden large input such as howling on stage. The large stroke width of the diaphragm provides a live sound similar to that of a loudspeaker, but with the precision of in-ear monitoring, making for excellent on-stage monitoring.

■Impedance design that matches the wireless ear monitor system
Stage monitors are primarily used in conjunction with wireless ear monitoring systems. If the impedance of this ear monitoring system and the earphones do not match, there may be cases where it becomes difficult to control the volume, or the characteristics of the earphones may change, resulting in a decline in monitoring performance. In order to avoid such troubles, RS ONE thoroughly reduces compatibility problems with the ear monitor system by accurately performing impedance matching.

■Using newly developed cables “ARM011” and “Pentaconn Ear Long-Type”
The cable uses ""ARM011"", which is newly developed for RS ONE. It uses a 4-core structure made of woven high-purity Litz wire and Kevlar wire, and is coated with PU material to improve handling. By twisting this, it becomes a strong cable that is flexible and easy to handle, yet hard to get bent and hard to break. Considering the compatibility with the use of the ear monitor system, we selected a straight type plug. The connector uses a new IEM connector ""Pentaconn Ear"" designed and produced by Nippon Dicks Co., Ltd. that boasts high sound quality and high reliability. Compared to conventional MMCX connectors, the plug part and jack part are in closer contact, providing excellent conduction performance, and achieving both ease of attachment and detachment and robustness. Furthermore, RS ONE uses ""Pentaconn Ear Long-Type"", which is embedded in the body and has a structure that prevents sweat from entering the connector part, as a measure against sweat, which is important as a stage monitor. Compared to other connectors, it reduces the risk of poor contact due to wear and sweat due to attachment and detachment, use, and reduces accidents in professional workplace environments. In addition, in the unlikely event that the cable breaks, the cable can be easily attached and detached, making it suitable for live environments.

■AET earpieces that provide a high fitting and acoustic experience
Comes with the silicone earpiece ""AET07"", which was also used as a reference when developing Acoustune earphones, and the ""AET02"", which provides a sealing feeling unique to foam types. Achieves high fitting while avoiding sound quality deterioration. A carrying case is also included for easy portability.
