Proprietary high-excursion drivers for mixes that translate
Designed for modern music production, Austrian Audio's line of professional Hi-X (High Excursion) headphones do not use OEM drivers, as many headphones on the market do. The proprietary high-excursion drivers in the Hi-X15 are custom designed and purpose built for the Hi-X range to yield superior performance in the context of a cohesive sound-delivery system. This meticulous engineering results in what-you-hear-is-what-you-get fidelity that you can trust to make critical decisions about your recordings.
Outstanding comfort over long sessions
The Hi-X15 is notable for what you don’t get: discomfort. Austrian Audio used soft, slow-retention memory foam for the earpads to give you cushy comfort, even during long listening sessions. And because they effectively banished distortion from the design, you can monitor through the night without a hint of listening fatigue. Sweetwater PSA: of course, intensive concentration for hours on end is counterproductive in the long run. Just because you can work for 10 hours straight doesn’t mean you should, so by all means, take breaks — and do watch those listening levels!
Austrian Audio: the new Vienna classics
Carrying on the rich legacy of high-end Viennese transducer and microphone design into the modern era, Austrian Audio is driven by an engineering team with over 300 years of combined experience. Their motto: “Making Passion Heard.” Their mission: to design and manufacture a new generation of recording tools that embrace cutting-edge technologies and sonic excellence while honoring Vienna’s rich musical heritage. That vision is realized in Austrian Audio’s proprietary handcrafted CKR12 large-diaphragm capsule, which is used in the company’s excellent OC18 and OC818 condenser microphones. Sweetwater is proud to bring you Austrian Audio’s distinguished lineup of fine musical products.
