Complete
engineering on both electronic and human levels brings a new kind of sound
purity and comfort to the stereo enthusiast in the form of Sansui's Stereo
Headphone set, Model SS-2.
Electronically,
the SS-2 utilizes specially developed cone-paper with very high radiation
characteristics to overcome a problem that has plagued stereo manufactures for
years - faithful reproduction in the low-frequency ranges. The moving coil type SS-2 shows excellent
transient stability throughout the entire range of 20-18,000 Hz, with
exeptional impedance and L/R balance characteristics as well as high damping
factor.
Outstanding Bass
Reproduction
The cultivation of a
very high-radiation cone-paper enables low-frequency reproduction all the way
down to 20 Hz, a figure almost beyond the reproduction capability of a 12-inch
woofer. Distortion is less than 1% at 1 mW input.
Flat
Characteristics
The high-moving coil
with its excellent transient stability, and special cone-paper with its
superior vibration characteristics (70 mm in diameter) combine to completely
cover the wide range of frequencies from 20 Hz to 18,000 Hz. The impedance
characteristic is also excellent, allowing powerful sound reproduction with a
high damping factor.
Right and Left
Channel Balance
The output sound
pressure level is rated at lower than 1 dB for perfectly balanced stereo
reproduction from both Right and Left channels. Unlike listening via speaker
systems, headphone listening assures an optimum stereo effect, since Right and
Left channel sounds never have the chance the interfere with each other in the
air.
Ear Pads Designed
for Comfort
The ear pad for
model SS-2 are made of softly finished Vinyl-Chloride, leather-like in
appearance. They have been doubly finished so that ambient heat never becomes a
comfort-impairing factor. They can be worn over an extended period of time in
complete comfort.
Functional and
Attractive
The head band is
completely adjustable for individual head and ear positioning.
The SS-2 is
available in black and white two-tone design.
Caution
The SS-2 is a
highly-sensitive headphone set. Its sound output is extremely high even at an
input as low as one-thousandth of a watt. If the amplifier power is beyond the
Maximu Rated Power Input, there is a possibility of damage. Therefore, in
connecting this set directly to higher-powered amplifier the volume of the
amplifier should always be reduced.
