Introducing the SRS-X1000: The Next Generation Entry Level Electrostatic Audio System

Worldwide, May 9, 2024 — STAX Ltd, leading manufacturer of electrostatic audio products, is pleased to announce the launch of the STAX SRS-X1000 electrostatic audio system, a replacement to the brand’s long-running and successful SRS-3100 entry level system. The SRS- X1000 combines a brand-new SR-X1 earspeaker with the SRM-270S amplifier for peak audio performance. Featuring enhanced heat dissipation, high-quality materials, and significant upgrades like the low-noise FET for transparent sound, the SRS-X1000 marks a leap in STAX continued development in electrostatic audio technology.

Revolutionary Sound Technology and Design

The SRS-X1000 features the SR-X1 earspeaker, which draws inspiration from the iconic circular design of its predecessors, the SR-1 and the SR-X, while incorporating modern advancements for improved sound clarity and product longevity. The earspeaker boasts a newly engineered medium-sized circular sound unit that ensures flat and neutral sound reproduction, a hallmark of electrostatic technology. The meticulously crafted back slit structure minimizes distortion by allowing sound waves to flow naturally.

Complementing the SR-X1, the SRS-X1000 includes the SRM-270S, a compact driver unit tailor-made to amplify the SR-X1’s capabilities. The SRM-270S features upgraded components such as high-grade RCA pin jacks and a robust aluminum front panel, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functional durability. This model showcases the latest advancements in audio technology, including a low-noise FET in the first stage of the amplifier and an optimized emitter follower circuit in the output stage, ensuring rich and detailed sound reproduction.

Unmatched Comfort and Build Quality

The SRS-X1000 is designed with user comfort and product durability in mind. The SR-X1’s frame uses high-quality metal materials to eliminate unnecessary vibrations and enhance overall rigidity, ensuring hours of comfortable listening without fatigue. The luxurious sheepskin ear pads conform to the shape of the user’s head, providing an intimate listening experience that is as comfortable as it is immersive.

Easy Integration and Versatile Use

With the inclusion of PARALLEL OUT terminals, the SRS-X1000 integrates seamlessly into existing sound systems. This setup is not only perfect for high-quality music listening but also enhances audio experiences for movie watching or desktop applications.

Douglas Ip, Head of Sales & Marketing at STAX, commented, “With the SRS-X1000, we’ve redefined what users can expect from an entry-level audio system. The SR-X1 earspeaker is not just about superior sound quality; it’s about an immersive experience tailored for endurance and comfort.”
