High-Fidelity Stereo Headphone Set
The virtues of being alone have long been underrated. Or ware until Sansui decided to do something really meaningful about it. Now enter the SS-10 stereo headphone set, affectionately dedicated to those purists to whom stereo is indeed a very personal experience, ideally savored in princely solitude, far from the maddening crowd. Equipped with newly developed mechanical two-way speakers, this truly high-fidelity set reproduces a wide range of frequencies from very, very low to ultra-high with uniform smoothness. Few other stereo headphones on the market today are so discreet and so solicitous of your undisturbed listening pleasure. The SS-10 "direct line" set offers a host of attractive features, including separate volume controls for each channel, identical left and right channel characteristics, and hand-sewn so comfortable that it's a very wise investment from that standpoint alone. But Sansui is also very understanding about the pleasures of stereo sharing, and providently thought to make the "direct line" convertible to a "party line". So that on those occasions when there's something special you'd like someone special to hear with you, the SS-10 has a two-meter long Y-shaped extension cord equipped with two jacks for connecting two sets of headphones. But whether used in solitude, or adapted for sharing, the SS-10 stands alone as today's best buy in stereo headphones.
Mechanical 2-Way Speakers
The unique, newly developed mechanical 2-way speakers of the SS-10 utilize large 8 cm, special cone papers for the low and middle range notes, and quality polyester diaphragms that also cover the high ranges. These enable the SS-10 to reproduce sound with an absolute minimum of intermodulation and harmonic distortion and a maximum of transparency and resolution.
Wide Frequency Range
Thanks to the mechanical 2-way speakers, the SS-10 reproduces a wide 20 to 20,000 Hz range of sound, from well-damped, powerful rich heavy bass comparable to that reproduces by large speakers, to delicate, transparent treble, all with exceptional smoothness.
Identical Channel Characteristics
The SS-10 is designed to minimize the difference in tonal quality and output sound pressure level between the left and right channels, enabling you to enjoy well-balanced stereo sound. Further, unlike speaker systems, a stereo headphone set completely separates the left and right channel sounds, so that the stereo separation is exceptional.
Separate Volume Controls
Equipped with a volume control on each ear pad, the SS-10 saves you the trouble of standing up and walking over to the amplifier each time you wish to adjust the sound volume. It;s especially convenient when you are sitting far away from the amplifier using the extension cord supplied.
Since the left and right channels can be separately adjusted , adjustment of stereo balance is also easily accomplished.
y-Shaped Extension Cord with Two Jacks
The SS-10 comes complete with a 2 meter long extension cord to let you relax away from the amplifier or tape deck. This cord is provided with two jacks for connecting two stereo headphones sets, so two persons can listen together.
Spiral Cord
The connection cord of the SS-10 is of the same curled spiral type as that used with telephones. Though as long as 3 meters, it never gets in your way.
Hand-Sewn Ear Pads
Made of specially-treated soft plastic, the SS-10's ear pads cover the ears very softly and do not exert uncomfortable pressure on the wearer. These comfortable pads seal out external sound and will not tire the wearer even after hours of continuous listening
Easy-to Use, Functional Design
The length of the head band can be freely adjusted to suit the size of the head or ear positions of each individual.
