IRVINE, Calif. – Ultimate Ears has announced that it is reducing the price of the company’s flagship dual-driver UE-5 Pro to better accommodate a larger user base within the emerging artist community.
The custom-fit UE-5 Pro, now available for only $600 —a $100 price reduction— is the original dual-driver personal monitor with a two-speaker design and passive noise cancellation. The low- and high-frequency speakers in each ear deliver a clear, detailed sound that provides artists and engineers with an exceptional listening experience for live stage performance, recording or personal listening.
“We believe that this significant price reduction will allow budget conscience customers to gain access to a fully customized in-ear-monitor with a detachable cable,” said Mindy Harvey, president and co-founder of Ultimate Ears. “In the past, custom sleeves were an acceptable alternative to Ultimate Ears’ custom-fit products, but they are problematic and can significantly alter the audio signature of the product they are placed upon. Now we can offer a much better value for customers seeking a totally integrated custom-fit earpiece.”
The first Ultimate Ears earphones were born out of a special request from Alex Van Halen, founder of world-famous rock band Van Halen. The company boasts major clients, including The Eagles, Metallica, Madonna and Gwen Stefani. Now the industry standard, Ultimate Ears’ premium sound signature is available to all artists at all levels.
The UE-5 Pro’s are not only ideal for up-and-coming stars, but also for backline techs and production staff who need high-end personal monitors that can withstand the rigors of touring. Compatible with all personal monitor systems and all portable media devices, the UE-5 Pro is not a luxury, but a necessity for anyone involved in a live stage production.
Each pair is handcrafted from ear impressions made by a professional audiologist or hearing aid center. The earphones are available in any color with a choice of detachable cables and can be customized with personal artwork or “tattoo” to showoff individual style. Ultimate Ears’ UE-5 Pro monitors nclude a one-year warranty.
