This product is the latest model in the RP Technology headphones, which have been evolving for over 50 years and are adopted by professional music studios worldwide. [Fostex] has independently developed and manufactured the 4th generation RP driver, a full-drive planar magnetic driver, and installed it in a black walnut solid wood housing. The T60RP, highly acclaimed for listening, has evolved into the mk2. With a redesigned housing and meticulous acoustic adjustments with the new driver, you can enjoy it as the next-generation model of listening-focused planar magnetic headphones. *RP and RP Technology refer to [Fostex]'s proprietary technology for moving the entire surface of a planar magnetic diaphragm in a regular phase (Regular Phase).
・【Semi-open housing carved from black walnut solid wood】 The black walnut solid wood housing, with its beautiful wood grain, allows you to enjoy the natural texture. It delivers a pleasant, natural sound with rich and solid low frequencies to clear and extended high frequencies.
・【4th generation RP driver】 The full-drive planar magnetic driver with RP Technology, refined by in-house technology for 50 years, has increased and homogenized the vibration area of the planar diaphragm in the 4th generation. This was achieved by increasing the magnets sandwiching the diaphragm and redesigning the pattern shape of the printed coil. Furthermore, the components of the magnetic circuit have been completely renewed to optimize the magnetic flux distribution, suppressing unnecessary resonance of the diaphragm and realizing sharp response in sound rise and fall. The 4th generation driver, developed with the full introduction of various technologies accumulated over the years, simultaneously achieves improved sensitivity, a smooth frequency response that is easy to monitor, and excellent transient response. This enables accurate and delicate reproduction from low to high frequencies, further improving accurate localization and soundstage reproduction. As before, consistent quality is provided through integrated manufacturing at our own factory.
・【Adopts a Y-cable with independent connections on the left and right, making recabling easy】 The housing on both the left and right sides is equipped with connectors, and a newly developed Y-cable connection is adopted. The 2-pole 3.5 mm connector improves recabling compatibility and versatility. The cable uses high-quality OFC conductors. A separately sold balanced cable, φ4.4: ET-RP4.4BL2Y, is available.
・【Comfortable ear pads】 The ear pads are around-ear type with low-resilience cushioning, designed for a comfortable fit, allowing for comfortable use even during long listening sessions. Optional ear pads using Toray Industries Ultrasuede (EX-EP-RP-SUEDE) can also be installed. They offer breathability, a soft feel, and smooth, high-quality sound from low to high frequencies.
・【Accessories】 φ3.5 mm (2-pole) mini plug x 2 (L, R) ⇔ φ3.5 mm (3-pole) stereo mini plug cable (2 m) x 1, φ3.5 mm to φ6.3 mm stereo phone conversion connector x 1, safety information
・【Note】 The housing uses solid natural wood. Therefore, there are differences in wood grain, texture, color, and knots for each individual unit, but this does not affect the sound quality at all. We kindly ask for your understanding.
【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device's requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.
