A principios de diciembre Iron Maiden anunció el resultado de su colaboración con Onkyo: los audífonos Maiden Audio ED-PH0N3S. Disponibles únicamente en Inglaterra vía Richer Sounds y en toda Europa a través de MaidenAudio.com
El companion de los audífonos está disponible en la App store y Google Play Store desde el 8 de diciembre y es compatible con iOS y Android (obvio). Incluye los set customs de meiden.
Steve Harris trabajó directamente con Mark Cheffins, (Artist Relations & Technical Consultant en ONKYO). El resultado produjo los ED-PH0N3S. Personalizados por Harris para que cumplieran los requerimientos exactos al oír la música de Maiden o cualquier banda de rock.
Steve explica:
"I knew that I would need some really good headphones to use for playback of the mixes of ‘The Book Of Souls’, our new Maiden studio album. I'd actually started looking into this about eighteen months prior to when we started recording because I'd been struggling to find a design which came even remotely close to what I felt was an acceptable sonic standard for rock/metal. My main objective was for a balance that wasn't just top and bottom heavy with hardly any mid range like a lot of headphones these days that are basically designed for dance music. I wanted a good balance across the widest bandwidth incorporating a lot more mid range frequencies, something I strongly feel is vital to appreciate the complexities of our music and rock/metal in general. A friend at ONKYO suggested I get in touch with the company to create a design that could meet my specifications. We started collaborating and have been working on them ever since, endlessly evaluating frequencies and modifying drive units, materials, cables and connectors until we achieved my ideal balance. I am now really happy with the final result!"
El precio sugerido es, en retail, £199/€299
Harris de nuevo:
“Metal and all genres of Rock need clarity and presence in the mid-range to display the full sound spectrum. This was my key brief for ED-PH0N3S.”
Las especificaciones:
Se espera distribución mundial de los ED-PH0N3S ya en este 2016.
