Electret Condenser Stereophones
The time has finally arrived when stereophones can assume their rightful importance as essential elements in critical high fidelity systems. And the same standards of excellence normally applied to other prime components can now be applied to these transducer.
Whether you inted your stereo phones for critical monitoring of live recordings, private listening where loudspeakers might intrude, binaural broadcasts and recordings, or simply to enjoy them for their own virtues as superb reproducers, their quality should not compromise the rest of your music system.
While the bulk of stereo listening has traditionally employed loudspeakers, stereophones now offer the potential for performance that can actually exceed that of loudspeakers in every essential respect. Stereophones have an advantage, of course, since they need not move a roomful of air, not overcome awkward acoustic conditions. By providing linear response at the ears, with full dynamic range, stereophones can be the reproducer of choice to fully enjoy the subtle delights of a well-engineered direct-to-disc recording. And recent experiments in binaural sound are predicted on stereophone listening exclusively.
While others may consider stereophones as an accessory, at Signet, we prefer to thing of them as an alternative listening technique. Just as viable as loudspeakers, and with advantages of their own. And until you experience Signet stereophone listening, you may not be aware of the clarity, transparency, response, and freedom from distortion that can be achieved. These advantages stem from two essential attributes of the Signet concept; advanced knowledge of transducer design, and uncompromising standards of performance.
