Between the recently released SR-007S (test VU#62 FR<\/em>) and the SR-009S, derived from the flagship SR-009 of 2011 (test VU#03 FR<\/em>), the famous Japanese brand of electrostatic headphones has responded to enthusiasts\u2019 demands by reintroducing the SR-009D model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 30% more affordable (3 700 \u20ac compared to 5 400 \u20ac), the new open-back headphone incorporates the technology of Stax\u2019s two flagship models, but with a less expensive chassis and packaging. The fixed circular electrodes are therefore positioned on a patented MLR diaphragm that differs slightly from that of the SR-009S, with an outer rim benefiting from a new plastic molding technique, which also helps to keep the weight down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black rather than silver, the ear cups offer a more discreet look, but make good use of the new connectors on each side to attach a fully detachable cable. On this model, the cable is 2.5 m long, 6-strand OFC copper. An open-back design, the SR-009D retains synthetic leather on the sides of the ear pads and very soft sheepskin on the part in contact with the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weight remains almost identical to that of the SR-009, at one pound (452 g), as do the stated frequency response of 5 Hz to 42 kHz, the impedance of 145 k\u03a9, and the sensitivity of 101 dB (at 100V; 1 kHz). As mentioned above, the biggest difference therefore remains the price, and the packaging stripped down to the essentials, all to offer you, at a more affordable price, what is the hallmark of this Stax range: exceptional musicality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
