Last week Shure introduced the SE846 Sound Isolating Earphones featuring Quad High-Definition MicroDrivers with a three-way system configuration for dedicated low, mid and high frequency distribution. The patent-pending design of the SE846 includes a groundbreaking low-pass filter with true subwoofer that enables deep low-end performance without sacrificing clarity or detail.
Designed for both professionals and audiophiles
The SE846 incorporates a new level of technological innovation and authentic audio experience. The SE846 delivers strong, impactful bass, allowing the midrange and high frequencies to shine individually. The natural roll-off of the subwoofer provides the tweeter and midrange drivers the acoustic space they need to be heard clearly and accurately.
“Audio quality and durability are signatures of Shure’s products, and these innovative earphones are no exception. The SE846’s unprecedented low-pass filter is a combination of simplicity and effectiveness that ensures an unequalled, perfectly tailored listening experience,” said Matt Engstrom, Category Director for Monitoring Products at Shure. “The SE846 achieves subwoofer sound quality with clarity and detail in less than half of a square inch.”
The SE846 provides a supreme combination of sound signatures, isolation and quality, in a comfortable in-ear design. Lightweight with a low profile shape, the SE846 offers three changeable nozzles allowing to easily customise the listening experience by selecting the nozzle insert with the preferred frequency response – available in balanced, warm and bright options.
A detachable cable for easy replacement and an accessories package that includes three pairs of disposable black foam sleeves, three pairs of soft flex sleeves and a carrying case are also included.
