Know before you buy
The seven balanced-armature drivers are split across a 3-way passive crossover, which allows the monitors to dedicate specific drivers to bass, mids, and highs. This separation results in a more detailed, expansive soundstage that maintains clarity even in complex musical arrangements.
Yes, the MACH 70 features an ergonomic housing designed to sit comfortably in the ear for extended periods. Because they are lightweight and come with ten total pairs of foam and silicone tips, you can easily find a secure, pressure-free fit.
Absolutely. The MACH 70 is built to handle the demands of professional stage use while offering a refined sound profile that works just as well for high-fidelity personal listening.
The UltraBaX cable is engineered with ultra-low impedance to ensure that the audio signal remains clean and uncolored from your source to the drivers. It is also designed to be durable and tangle-resistant, making it a reliable choice for both travel and performance.
Achieving an airtight seal is critical for bass response and noise isolation. We recommend testing all included foam and silicone ear tip sizes to find the one that fits your ear canal most snugly.
The MACH 70 comes with an impact-resistant Pelican case for rugged protection, as well as a soft cloth pouch for lighter storage. You also get a cleaning tool to help maintain the drivers and keep them free of debris.
