Stax SRS-3100 | ELECTROSTATIC EARSPEAKER SYSTEM

Stax SRS-3100 Electrostatic Earspeaker System is a high quality combination of the SR-L300 earspeaker employing the same sound element as the new SR-507 top model of the Lambda series with the SRM-252S driver unit with solid state output stage.

Despite being so bulky and large the Stax SR-L300 earspeakers have solid ergonomics. The driver enclosure is very long, but doesn’t feel heavy or weighted down.

The headband assembly consists of two parts: the stepless slider headband, and the comfort strap. The strap sits neatly above the head, which takes the bulk of the weight and distributes it evenly across the head.

The non-removable cable is a little heavy and quite long at 2.5m. It’s unusual 6 core ribbon structure is easy to roll up but can sometimes get in the way.

The SRM-252S from STAX Audio is an exclusive driver unit (amplifier) for driving STAX earspeakers with PRO-bias 5-pin connections. With a clear, simple design that excels in sound quality, SRM-252S employs carefully-selected late-model high-voltage transistors and low-noise FETs.

Class-A amplification with no coupling capacitors allows for the finest reproduction of each nuance of the music.

Although the SRM-252S includes a class-A DC amplifier in a compact case, the internal heat is effectively dissipated through the aluminium chassis, improving reliability and longevity.

The line input of SRM-252S can directly connect to the audio output of CD players, portable audio players and computers, whilst the output stage with emitter-follower configuration reinforces the driving performance and smooth sound quality.

A parallel output terminal has also been added, distributing the source signal. This means that a loudspeaker may be simultaneously connected when your source equipment has only one pair of output terminals.
