Stax SRM-700S Earspeaker Driver Unit
The Stax SRM-700S is the pinnacle of electrostatic headphone amplification, meticulously crafted to unlock the full potential of Stax's high-end earspeakers. This statement driver unit transcends the boundaries of conventional audio equipment, offering an unparalleled listening experience for discerning audiophiles.
The SRM-700S is an electrostatic headphone driver utilising a fully discrete dual FET. The output of the J-FET and the large current emitter follower circuit is low noise, bringing accurate music reproduction without missing any fine details.
STAX produce exclusively electrostatic headphones, or “earspeakers" since 1938. STAX chose the electrostatic technology for its ability to produce transparent sound, and low weight for comfort/ergonomics, both due to the driver design not employing fixed magnets and moving coils, as opposed to other common headphone driver designs. The minimal weight of the driver ensures a very quick response to the signal, creating a more faithful sound reproduction.
