The U-PRO series features unique dynamic power ratings due to its extremely high voltage rails, relative to its RMS power output. Resultantly, with RMS ratings of 280 W, it can deliver ultra-short bursts of 500 W RMS or 1000 W peak power; at a lower cost point than normal market expectations for such power capabilities, says the company. These are optimal performance characteristics for lightweight portable PA and ultra-compact, high output fixed install cabinet designs.

The recognized problem with stereo IEM is positioning all of the signals of a mix in the narrow space between the left and right ears. This is solved by placing the signals virtually around the entire head, including above and below. In addition to significantly improving natural sound and transparency, listening fatigue is dramatically reduced.

Now, to make this next generation in-ear mixing
