Audix A10X - Professional In-Ear Monitoring Headphones with Extended Bass
Discover a new dimension in in-ear monitoring with the Audix A10X , headphones meticulously designed to exceed the demands of live performance and deliver the critical fidelity of a recording studio. Unlike conventional models, the "X" version stands out for its extended bass response , providing unparalleled depth and sonic body without sacrificing clarity in the mids and highs.
The heart of the A10X lies in its advanced acoustic engineering. While many headphones in its class settle for standard drivers, Audix has integrated a low-mass voice coil assembly with a beryllium composite diaphragm . This material, known for its superior rigidity and lightness (50% stiffer than steel and 30% less dense than aluminum), enables ultra-fast transient response and bass reproduction down to 10 Hz . The result is an immersive, phase-coherent stereo image with sub-bass energy that you feel as much as you hear.
Designed for long work sessions, whether on a noisy stage or in the quiet of the mixing booth, the A10X headphones guarantee hours of listening without ear fatigue. Their ergonomic design and professional cable system ensure the headphones stay in place, allowing you to move with complete freedom and confidence during any performance.
Main Features
-
10mm Beryllium Driver: Composite diaphragm technology that delivers ultra-low distortion and reference-level sonic accuracy.
-
Extended Frequency Response: Unique ability to reproduce 10 full octaves, ranging from deep sub-bass (10 Hz) to crystal-clear treble (19 kHz).
-
Superior Passive Isolation: Designed to effectively block ambient noise, allowing you to focus on the mix even in environments with high sound pressure levels (SPL).
-
Professional MMCX Connectivity: Detachable cable with gold-plated connectors that rotate 360 degrees, facilitating perfect and comfortable positioning.
-
High Fidelity Cable: Constructed of oxygen-free copper (OFC) with silver plating, guaranteeing maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Benefits for the Musician and the Engineer
The Audix A10X are more than just headphones; they're a critical work tool. For drummers and bassists , the extended bass provides accurate monitoring of kick drums and bass lines that other in-ear monitors simply clip. For sound engineers and producers , the phase coherence and flat frequency response allow them to make confident mixing decisions anywhere, knowing that what they're hearing is a faithful representation of the original source.
Furthermore, comfort is paramount. The cable system includes a reinforced, moldable section near the connector that acts as an ear hook, keeping the earbuds secure during sudden movements or jumps on stage. Combined with premium-grade silicone ear tips in various sizes, this creates a tight seal that maximizes isolation and bass response.
Use Cases
-
Live Monitoring: Ideal for musicians who need to feel the weight of low instruments (Drums, Bass, Keyboards, DJ).
-
Mobile Mixing and Production: A reliable reference for engineers working outside the studio who need to check the sub-bass area.
-
Audiophile Listening: For sound enthusiasts looking to rediscover their favorite tracks with cinematic detail and immersion.
-
Transmissions and Broadcast: Critical voice and music monitoring in noisy environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the main difference between the A10 and A10X models?
The main difference lies in the diaphragm material and frequency response. The A10X uses a composite beryllium diaphragm, allowing it to reach lower frequencies (down to 10 Hz) with greater accuracy, ideal for those who need to monitor sub-bass, while the standard A10 (titanium) has a more conventional response.
-
Do they have active noise cancellation?
No, the A10X use passive noise isolation. Thanks to their housing design and optimized silicone ear tips, they physically block out external sound very effectively without introducing the digital artifacts or hissing typical of active noise cancellation.
-
Is the cable replaceable?
Yes, they use standard MMCX connectors, which allows you to easily replace the cable if it gets damaged or if you want to upgrade to a cable of a different length or features, thus protecting your investment in the long run.
-
Do I need a powerful headphone amplifier to use them?
With an impedance of 35 ohms and a high sensitivity of 107 dB, the A10X are very efficient and can be easily driven by wireless monitoring beltpacks, audio interfaces, and even mobile phones and laptops without the need for extra amplification.
