AUDIO-TECHNICA SHOWS ATH-ANC7 QUIETPOINT™
ACTIVE NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES
— Company offers lightweight, compact headphones that effectively
reduce distracting background noise by up to 85% while offering superior
audio quality —
NAMM SUMMER SESSION, AUSTIN, TX, July 27, 2007 —
Audio-Technica, a leader in the design and manufacture of consumer and
professional microphones, headphones, phono cartridges and accessories
for over 45 years, is showing its ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint™ active
noise-cancelling headphones. Engineered to deliver superior quality
audio in a compact, lightweight design, the ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint headphones
employ a miniature microphone in each earpiece that monitors ambient
noise (such as airplane cabin or traffic noise) and creates a sound-cancelling
signal that successfully reduces distracting background noise by up
to 85%.
Ideal for use with MP3, CD, DVD and in-flight entertainment
systems, the ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint headphones provide maximum comfort
in a closed-back, streamlined design; they feature propriety large-aperture
40 mm drivers with neodymium magnet systems for deeper bass and extended
treble, and have a wide frequency response of 10-25,000 Hz.
The noise-cancelling electronics for the ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint
headphones are fully integrated in each earpiece, with no need for bulky
external modules. The headphones fold flat for easy portability, are
powered by a single AAA alkaline battery and can operate in passive
mode without the battery. The ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint headphones come complete
with a 5.2' (1.6 m) detachable cable (remove for noise-cancelling mode
without audio) terminated with 1/8" (3.5 mm) mini plugs; a 1/4"
(6.3 mm) stereo adapter; a specialized airline adapter for connecting
to in-flight entertainment systems; and a carrying case with attached
accessory pouch.
The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint active noise-cancelling
headphones are currently available with a U.S. MSRP of $219.95.
