Protect your ears DJs and musicians are often exposed to extremely dangerous sound levels. Without correct ear protection, even a few minutes of exposure to these dangerous sound levels can lead to permanent ear loss. (Even 5 minutes of exposure to 105-110 decibels can cause irreversible damage.*) Powerful Active Noise Canceling As musicians, we are often exposed to extremely dangerous sound levels. Without correct ear protection, even a few minutes of exposure to these dangerous sound levels can lead to permanent ear loss. NC-Q1 utilizes both Feed-forward and Feedback Active Noise Canceling technology that is tuned to withstand and process the high levels of sound found in many monitoring environments, up to an exceptionally high threshold. Where other ANC headphones begin to distort, NC-Q1 delivers Noise Canceling in extremely loud environments. Unlike most other Noise Canceling headphones, the NC-Q1 has microphones on both the inside and outside of the ear cup that accurately suppress a wide range of frequencies and auto-adjust according to the external sound environment. Its powerful attenuation function allows the NC-Q1 to work better than other headphones at minimizing high noise levels, which makes them the ideal choice for noisy environments. You’ll be amazed at how much they can really block out. Tap On, Tap Off With a simple tap or hold of the right ear cup, it is easy to activate or deactivate monitoring functions for one or both ears. What this means is that you can have a conversation, check your surroundings, talk to a bandmate, take a song request, talk to the flight attendant and so on without having to take the headphones off! It’s a unique feature that keeps you completely connected to the outside world. Tap again, and you’re back into full-on Active Noise Canceling mode. Pristine Sound and Professional Performance The NC-Q1 features a wide frequency and harmonic response along with a wide dynamic range for a precise, clear and well-balanced sound with a 41mm custom PEEK high-grade film diaphragm for excellent sound. The adaptable ear cushion and over-the-ear cup provide excellent noise isolation with the highest comfort. Made to the strictest professional standards, these headphones reproduce high resolution audio and with two (left and right) AUDIO IN physical inputs the NC-Q1 headphones can be connected to any audio player device, mixer or audio interface (Stereo minijack cable and 3.5mm→6.35 mm stereo converter plug included).
