Stax SR-X9000 Earspeaker and SRM-T8000 Driver Unit

The Stax SR-X9000 Earspeaker represents a milestone in electrostatic headphone technology, embodying the pinnacle of audio engineering and craftsmanship. Paired with the SRM-T8000 Driver Unit, this setup redefines high-fidelity audio, offering a premium listening experience for audiophiles and audio professionals alike.SR-X9000 EarspeakerThe SR-X9000 is Stax's flagship electrostatic earspeaker, integrating advancements in material design, sound clarity, and acoustic engineering.

1. MILER-3 Electrode Technology

The SR-X9000 features the innovative MILER-3 (Multi-Layer-Elect-Rords) electrode system.

  • A four-layer fixed electrode incorporates mesh-type and etching electrodes, bonded via thermal diffusion.

  • This groundbreaking design resolves long-standing resonation issues and optimizes sound transmission.

Developed over 20 years, MILER-3 advances audio reproduction by reducing distortions caused by air resistance, ensuring smoother and more detailed sound.

2. Diaphragm Design

The ultra-thin diaphragm is crafted from super-engineering plastic film:

  • Offers a 20% larger surface area than the SR-009S flagship model.

  • Its reduced mass allows lightning-fast responses and an expanded high-frequency range.

This results in improved sound linearity across both bass and treble frequencies while delivering the widest sound field in Stax’s history.

3. Improved Enclosure and Acoustic Characteristics

The sound unit enclosure is precision-engineered from machined aluminum:

  • Provides structural integrity and eliminates vibration-related distortion.

  • Optimized acoustics within the enclosure reduce sound reflections and ensure smoother sound wave flow.

4. Guard Mesh Innovation

A redesigned guard mesh improves acoustic performance:

  • Uneven gap heights prevent harmful parallel configurations between the sound element and the mesh.

  • Controlled reflection angles eliminate adverse sound reflections, enhancing clarity.

5. Comfort and Build

Stax prioritizes both comfort and durability in the SR-X9000:

  • Stainless steel arc assembly offers superior strength and torsion resistance, ensuring a stable fit.

  • Genuine sheepskin leather ear pads provide breathability, softness, and an accurate seal for superior bass response.

  • The ergonomic design reduces fatigue and supports extended listening sessions.

6. Connectivity and Storage

The SR-X9000 integrates premium cables and storage solutions:

  • Core cables made of 6NCu ultra-pure copper and silver-plated wire ensure optimal signal transmission.

  • Includes two detachable cable lengths (2.5m and 1.5m) for versatile listening setups.

  • Protected by a paulownia wood storage case with thermal insulation and humidity control for long-term preservation.

---SRM-T8000 Driver UnitThe SRM-T8000 Driver Unit, designed exclusively to drive Stax electrostatic earspeakers, combines hybrid amplifier technology, flexible connectivity, and premium components for uncompromising sound fidelity.

1. Hybrid Amplifier System

The SRM-T8000 employs a hybrid amplifier configuration:

  • 6922 dual triode tube in the first amplification stage ensures ultra-low noise and natural sound reproduction.

  • High-current emitter-follower output stage eliminates coupling capacitors, ensuring a clean, uncolored signal.

2. Balanced Amplifier Design

The fully balanced amplifier circuit integrates XLR balanced inputs:

  • Bypasses transformers and inverting amplifiers post-input for pure audio fidelity.

  • Guarantees accurate and pristine sound with minimal distortion.

3. Connectivity Options

With multiple input options, the SRM-T8000 adapts to various setups:

  • Four user-selectable inputs (including XLR and RCA configurations) facilitate easy integration with analog sources.

  • Direct mode bypasses the built-in volume controller for connection to a preamp’s output terminal.

  • An optional extension slot (Line 4) supports future upgrades for expanded functionality.

4. Premium Build Quality

Every detail of the SRM-T8000 ensures durability and performance:

  • Non-magnetic chassis construction minimizes interference and preserves audio precision.

  • Ultra-hard, fire-resistant rubberized feet provide vibration resistance and prevent sliding during use.
