Thank you very much for purchasing STAX high-end earspeaker SR-X9000. SR-X9000 is the
flagship model equipped with the fixed electrode which is evolved further than the SR-009 series.
INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
■
Sound element with newly developed third-generation fixed electrodes (MLER-3);
The fixed electrode is extremely thin and the cross section of the electrode is round-shaped, so the air
resistance and reflection is reduced and the sound transparency is improved.
Thin electrodes are poor in rigidity and metal-mesh electrodes vibrate. These factors may make sound
unclear.
SR-X9000 is the culmination of STAX technology. SR-X9000 is equipped with the fixed electrode
“MLER-3”, for which we further evolved the multi-layer structure, a feature of the fixed electrodes for
the SR-009.
One of the characteristic materials of MLER-3 is metal-mesh. This is the ideal material for an electro-
static fixed electrode. For reducing vibration of mesh to the minimum, an etching electrode and a met-
al-mesh electrode are united by diffused junction (thermocompression bonding). This technology real-
izes natural sound. Moreover, gold plating reduces electrical resistance of electrodes and improves
clear sound.
■
Ultra-thin film diaphragm;
SR-X9000 is equipped with an ultra-thin film diaphragm made of super engineering plastic to improve
the linearity of the sound. Now you can enjoy the high linearity bass and clear resonance.
■
Genuine leather ear pads;
The main reason to use the genuine leather (sheep skin) is breathability and softness which improves
fitting comfort. But the leather also improves “vividness” and “dignity” of sound.
(Unlike artificial leather, wrinkles or gloss of genuine leather differs depending on the used part. For
this reason, the performance is not affected even if the surface of right and left ear pads looks a little
different.)
■
Changeable cables;
Cables can be detached from the earspeakers. If higher quality cables will be developed in the future,
cables can be easily changed.
SR-X9000 includes 2 cables (2.5m cable and 1.5m cable). Choose cables according to your style.
The material of the cables are silver-coated 6N (99.9999%) OFC parallel 6-strand, low-capacity wide
structure.
■
Newly developed arc assembly (headband) and asymmetry case holder;
The arc assembly is made of stainless steel thin plate richly. So the arc assembly is more flexible and
tough than ever. The cable outlets are positioned slightly forward to make the earspeakers fit better.
The height of the head pad can be adjusted by the newly developed slider parts with 10-step clicking
system. This system enables the earspeakers for the best fit. Once you adjust, you can always keep
the best position. Re-adjustment is not required for each listening.
The head pad softens the pressure to your ears to enable you to enjoy listening to music comfortably
for a long time.
■
Enclosure made of tough machined aluminum;
The sound element is firmly fixed to the enclosure. This improvement makes sound clearer.
Furthermore, the depth of the enclosure is reduced to a minimum. The air from the sound element
flows more smoothly.
