• The IE 500 PRO's SYS 7 driver system withTrueResponse technology features a 7mm single driver that delivers natural and differentiated sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum, eliminating distortion, overlapping frequencies, and feedback peaks associated with multiple drivers.
• Even at very high sound pressure levels up to 126 dB, the IE 500 PRO reproduces a completely natural, clear, and spacious soundstage with a total harmonic distortion (THD) under 0.08% and a 6 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response for extended low end.
• The added presence from 1 to 2.5 kHz gives the IE 500 PRO a much more direct sound, opening up a wide and deep soundstage that allows artists to localize themselves in the mix more easily.

• To protect users against ear damage caused by excessive stage sound levels, the IE 500 PRO reduces ambient sound by up to 26 dB. This is achieved by a choice of included ear adapters (S, M, L) made from memory foam, which expands to perfectly fit your ear canal, ensuring perfect acoustic sealing with the added benefit of enhanced bass reproduction.
• The TrueResponse driver system delivers precise and detailed sound so you don't have to turn up the level to hear yourself clearly in the mix, keeping your hearing safe even during long periods of use.

• The IE 500 PRO's miniature design permits a lightweight, ultra-compact construction which, thanks to the accompanying silicone and memory foam adapters, can be individually adjusted to fit you perfectly.
• The earphones’ sound tunnel has two rest positions to precisely adjust the ear adapters to the depth and structure of your ear canal.
• This results in a secure and comfortable fit that comes very close to custom-made ear molds, ensuring that the IE 500 PRO remains secure and comfortable for hours on end.

• The headphones come with a 4.27' detachable, clear, twisted-pair cable that features reinforced ear hooks.
• The impressive audio performance of the IE 500 PRO is complemented by an innovative mechanical design, which includes a proprietary cable ducting with the connection instide the ear-mold, reducing the risk of cable breaks.
• The cable's sturdy anti-kink sleeve sits directly on the ear mold, protecting the IE 500 PRO against the wear and tear that occurs during heavy use.
• Additionally, the twisted-pair design provides optimized resistance to structure-borne noise for an even cleaner sound at very high volumes. 
• For easy distinction, the right ear mold has a red ring at its cable connection.

• The IE 500 PRO delivers a few extra dBs of sound pressure level—which can be crucial on loud stages and in clubs.
• Compared to the IE 400 PRO, the IE 500 PRO offers more presence in the midrange and a slightly wider frequency response.
• The cable on the IE 500 PRO features a twisted-pair design for increased resistance to structure-borne noise.
• Recommended applications for the IE 500: medium to heavy/loud musical genres, including rock, pop, heavy metal, EDM, and more.

Q: 9. Does the SyncBac ensure frame accurate (jam) sync between multiple GoPros, i.e: if this was used for 360-video rigs would all camera shutters fire at the same time?

A: From the manufacturer. The SyncBac PRO enables frame accurate timecode to be embedded directly in the camera mp4 media. The SyncBac PRO does not 'genlock' the cameras in an array however, so the shutters will not be exactly firing at the same time.We have worked with Kolor's AVP software and the have added a really neat 'auto sync to timecode' mode for the camera media clips before the stitch. This feature is on v3.0 onwards. It works really well with fast results & no need to visually ID each take or clap and audio cue for each take.The other real workflow benefit is that using the pulse unit as the master 'mini base station' you can control and configure all the cameras in the rig from our free BLINK hub app - turn ON/OFF, START/STOP, set all resolutions and modes, monitor battery status and SD card status.

Q: 10. How long does it take to charge the BA 30 / BA 20 batteries? The USB charging of those batteries takes an extraordinarily long time (4 hours from empty), so I'm wondering if this charger makes it notably quicker.
