High-Performance
High-Polymer stereo headphones for clear sound reproduction and lightweight
comfort.
Success
repeats itself in this, the second generation of Pioneer's original
high-polymer stereo headphones. The SE-500 are based on the unusual
electrophysical effect called piezoelectrics. As the audio signal reaches the
ultra-thin, aluminum-coated high-polymer film drivers, they expand and contract
accordingly in an ideal "breathing motion" for impressively natural,
quite unmechanical audio response. Tonal characteristics are comparable to
those of the electrostatic type headphones, yet you need no matching
transformer; the SE-500 plug directly into the headphone jack of your amplifier
or receiver. Crystal earphones, ceramic cartridges and other low-class audio
uses have been found for the piezoelectric effect in the past, but never with
the resonance-free, brilliantly simple high fidelity results obtained in these
revolutionary piezo-polymer stereo headphones form Pioneer.
High-Polymer
Film Diaphragm
Wide range
reproduction from solid lows to transparent highs is assured, thanks to the
unique "breathing motion" of the high-polymer film diaphragms in the
SE-500. as the effective diaphragm area is wide, amplitude is minimized to
further reduce distortion and clarity response.
Lightest
headphones
Lightweight,
non-bulky headphones like these greatly enhance your music-listening pleasure.
These are among the lightest, easiest to use non-isolating stereo headphones
sold.
Maximum
Sensitivity and Efficiency
The
sensitivity, or efficiency of the Pioneer SE-500 is an important advantage over
conventional types, comparing favorably with the electrostatic types yet
enabling you to power them directly from your receiver or amplifier without
need for a matching transformer.
High
Endurance for large Input Signals
The SE-500
feature a high endurance to accept large input signals. This means that dynamic
sound reproduction on a par with that
heard in a concert hall, is yours for realistic musical reproduction.
Excellent
Stability
Changes in
temperature and hunidity do not hamper the stanility of the SE-500. You can
depend on constant and uniform performance under all conditions and for long
hours of use.
Luxury
Design
Slim, smart
and stylish. The lightweight, open type (on-the-ear) design and duraable
materials of the SE-500 contribute significantly to their appeal.
