New SRH840, SRH440,
and SRH240 Offer Unparalleled Audio Performance, Comfort,
and Durability
Shure has introduced three new professional headphone models,
the Company’s first over-the-ear headphones designed
specifically for studio applications. The SRH840, SRH440,
and SRH240 join Shure’s lineup of professional and home
recording equipment, including the recently introduced X2u,
XLR-to-USB Signal Adapter and PG27USB and PG42USB Side Address
Condenser Microphones to offer a complete recording package
for studio engineers, musicians, and home recordists. Building
on more than 84 years of delivering premium audio experiences,
Shure’s Professional Headphones offer unparalleled audio
quality, ergonomics, and durability.
Traditionally, the market for professional headphones has
been limited to recording studios and production houses. However,
the proliferation of portable listening devices, user-generated
content, and home recording studios has increased demand for
affordable, professional quality recording gear.
Shure Professional Headphones achieve a masterful balance
between comfort, durability, and rich lows, warm mids, and
crisp highs. The SRH840, SRH440, and SRH240 each have a unique
sound signature, and offer home recordists, performing artists,
and studio engineers premium sound quality for a variety of
uses – from active listening to critical monitoring.
“Recording engineers need three critical things: flat,
natural audio reproduction, comfort during extended wear,
and gear that can stand up to the rigors of everyday use.
To perfect those attributes, we combined Shure’s legacy
of working with sound engineers and recording artists with
the depth of experience we gained with our consumer line of
Sound Isolating™ Earphones,” said Scott Sullivan,
Shure’s Senior Director of Global Product Management.
“Our new Professional Headphones represent the next step
in Shure’s recording story – one that engages professional
and amateur recordists.”
Shure’s Professional Headphones’ closed-back, circumaural
design maximizes comfort during extended wear. Additional
features include:
• SRH840 Professional Monitoring Headphones – Optimized
for studio recording and critical listening, the SRH840 features
reference-quality frequency response, rich bass, clear mid-range,
and extended highs. The model’s ergonomic fit and collapsible
construction offer added comfort and portability.
• SRH440 Professional Studio Headphones – Tuned
to deliver accurate audio reproduction, the SRH440 is optimized
for professional audio equipment, including DJ mixers, mixing
consoles, and headphone amplifiers. The adjustable headband
and collapsible construction make the SRH440 ideal for recording
and monitoring.
• SRH240 Professional Quality Headphones – Calibrated for connection to consumer listening devices
and professional equipment such as mixing consoles, the SRH240
reproduces full bass with detailed highs.
