Proven Ultimate Ears
Technology
M-Audio
professional reference
earphones incorporate
acclaimed Ultimate Ears
technology—the same industry
standard that has
revolutionized live
performance monitoring. Many
of today’s best-known
touring artists and their
sound engineers trust
Ultimate Ears for the utmost
in comfort, accuracy and
reliability.
Three Precision-Balanced
Armature Drivers with
Crossover Network
The
rich, full-spectrum sound of
the IE-40 reference
earphones owes much to the
use of three separate
high-definition,
precision-balanced armature
drivers for high, mid and
low frequencies. Armature
drivers—the same technology
used in Ultimate Ears’
premium custom
earphones—deliver high
efficiency, extended high
frequencies, clear, precise
mid-tones and superb natural
bass. In addition, they are
significantly smaller and
more accurate than
comparable dynamic drivers.
The IE-40 audio crossover
network routes each
frequency of your music to
the driver that can best
reproduce it—exactly the
same principle used in the
finest studio monitor design
Patented Dual-Bore Design
Ultimate
Ears’ proprietary dual-bore
design delivers a wider
sound stage through separate
acoustic canals for high and
low channels, allowing the
sound to be mixed naturally
in your ear. In contrast,
multi-driver, single-bore
designs mix the highs and
lows inside the earphone,
which narrows the sound,
creates audible turbulence
and ultimately lowers the
fidelity of your music.
Monitor Anywhere
M-Audio
is synonymous with the
mobile recording and
production revolution. Now
M-Audio IE professional
reference earphones with
Ultimate Ears technology
give you high-definition
monitoring on the go.
They’re the perfect
companions for any mobile
studio—like a Pro Tools
M-Powered™ laptop with
Transit™ or other M-Audio
interface. They’re also
ideal for field recording
with compact units like the
popular M-Audio MicroTrack™
recorder. On stage, you can
say goodbye to cumbersome
monitors and feedback. And
you can even use them to
upgrade your personal MP3
player for listening on the
go.

Exceptional Frequency
Response
Without
great frequency response
specs, you’re missing most
of your music. The IE-40
earphones deliver an amazing
20Hz-16kHz frequency
response, allowing you hear
all of your music—from
soaring highs to tight, deep
bass.
Superior Isolation and
Comfort
The
IE-40 earphones boast 26dB
of sound isolation. This
greatly diminishes outside
noise to deliver a purer
listening experience—without
the loss of sonic detail
that occurs with
noise-cancellation
technology. The isolation
also helps protect your ears
because all the nuances of
your music are apparent at
low volumes. The included
universal fit kit allows you
to customize the fit,
ensuring optimal isolation
and comfort for hours of
listening.
Professional Ear Loops
The hanging cables in
traditional designs can
catch on nearby objects and
cause the earpieces to
loosen or pop out
altogether. All IE models
feature professional loops
that comfortably hook cables
over and behind the ear to
minimize that problem. And
if your 46” detachable cable
ever does become damaged,
simply replace it instead of
your earphones.
Included Attenuator/Limiter
The
IE-40 earphones include a
flexible attenua-tor/limiter
that conditions the output
from high-volume sources to
a comfortable listening
level. This is especially
useful when enjoying music
and movies on airplanes—the
adapter’s limiting function
also spares your ears during
loud in-flight
announcements.
