Westone Audio has announced its AM PRO X series of universal in-ear monitors (IEMs), which have been designed to help stage artists get the best from their performance.
Westone Audio has plenty of credibility in the field of live music performances, with their first custom stage monitors used in collaboration with artists such as Rush and Def Leppard.
With the AM PRO X range, they’re using advanced balanced-armature technology in conjunction with their StageSense filter system to provide artists “with a carefully balanced mix of audio and feedback” from other performers on stage as well as being able to feel the energy from the audience.
The StageSense filter system that features on all the AM PRO X models works by providing linear attenuation, reducing ambient noise by a claimed 10dB, in order to give musicians a clear sense of what’s around them without “jeopardising” the quality of the audio.
Featuring custom-made balanced-armature drivers, Westone Audio’s professional quality twisted tensile copper cable, and T2 micro connectors, the AM PRO X range are built to last a for a long time.
