Audio-Technica Introduces New R Series Open-Back Reference Headphones



Audio-Technica has introduced two new additions to its open-back reference headphone lineup: the ATH-R70xa and ATH-R50x. Designed for music production, mixing, and mastering, these headphones aim to deliver natural and accurate sound reproduction for both professional audio engineers and discerning audiophiles.

The release of the ATH-R70xa and ATH-R50x builds upon the legacy of ATH-R70x open-back monitor headphones, incorporating refinements that improve user experience and technical performance.

With a frequency response range spanning 5 Hz to 40,000 Hz, the ATH-R70xa ensures the clarity and sonic separation required to manage complex mixes, whether in the studio or on stage. Audio-Technica's open-back technology is centred on the principle that the essence of sound originates from the flow of air. By meticulously regulating airflow and relying solely on the diaphragm's natural vibrations to reproduce the original tone, the ATH-R70xa achieves a pure and natural listening experience.

The ATH-R70xa features a high-impedance design, rated at 470Ω, making it ideally suited for professional recording, mixing, and mastering. The high impedance ensures that the headphones deliver a more accurate and pure sound performance when paired with professional-grade audio equipment, preserving the intricate details and authenticity of the audio. Manufactured at Audio-Technica's Machida factory in Japan, the ATH-R70xa undergoes rigorous assembly and quality testing to maintain consistent performance standards.

The ATH-R50x maintains the acoustic design principles of the flagship ATH-R70xa while offering a versatile solution for diverse audio production environments. Designed to meet the needs of both professional studio and home recording applications, the ATH-R50x offers a wide soundstage and an open, natural listening experience.

With a frequency response range of 5 Hz to 40,000 Hz, the ATH-R50x is capable of reproducing fine musical details with clarity and accuracy. The drivers have been redesigned to deliver solid low frequencies alongside crisp and accurate mid-highs, ensuring that vocals and lead instruments are presented clearly while maintaining a balanced overall soundstage.

The ATH-R50x is engineered to provide powerful low frequencies and a natural sound field without the need for additional acoustic tuning. By transmitting sound directly through the driver, the headphones minimise distortion and maintain a realistic and stable sound profile. This allows audio engineers and producers to make confident mixing and mastering decisions across various applications.

With an input impedance of 50Ω, the ATH-R50x is compatible with a broad range of audio devices. It is designed to perform reliably when connected to professional recording equipment, smartphones, or digital audio players (DAPs), ensuring consistent performance whether in the studio or during casual listening sessions.

Audio-Technica's continued advancements in open-back headphone technology reflect its commitment to delivering high-fidelity audio experiences for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Both the ATH-R70xa and ATH-R50x incorporate innovations aimed at improving sound accuracy, comfort, and versatility, making them suitable for a variety of demanding audio applications.
