DJs, it is time to go wireless! AlphaTheta Corporation today announced the release of the AlphaTheta HDJ-F10 professional wireless DJ headphones. The HDJ-F10 features ultra-low-latency SonicLink technology, engineered specifically for professional DJs to deliver wireless audio seamlessly to their ears. When using the HDJ-F10 headphones with the SonicLink HP-TX01 transmitter, DJs enjoy freedom from cables. This allows them to energize the crowd by dancing and moving around the DJ booth or stage without ever tangling or pulling on a wire.
Users will hear everything loud and clear when performing with the HDJ-F10 headphones. The HDJ-F10 produces high-resolution, powerful sound with a wide range coupled with a new driver design. The headphones include enhanced earpads, housing structures and sound insulation. The new durable headphones are built and tested to withstand life on the road.
DJs can sync the HDJ-F10 headphones to a mobile phone or other Bluetooth-capable devices. Using the Noise Cancelling mode, DJs can immerse themselves in the music as if they are checking the sound of each track in the studio. These headphones offer AlphaTheta’s best experience for both on-stage and everyday use for professional DJs. The HDJ-F10 is available on its own, or as part of the HDJ-F10-TX bundle which includes the HP-TX01 transmitter.
KEY FEATURES :
Extra comfortable Monitoring with Ultra-Low Latency Wireless Communication via SonicLinkÂ
Enjoy total freedom in the DJ booth or on stage with the HDJ-F10 and HP-TX01 transmitter, which includes SonicLink wireless technology that enables DJs to move around unconstrained by cables during a performance. Conventional Bluetooth connections create a significant delay in audio transmission, which causes challenges for DJ monitoring. However, using the dedicated HP-TX01 transmitter connected to a DJ mixer, DJs can use SonicLink to listen to the audio and mix seamlessly. SonicLink transmits sound with just 9 milliseconds of latency, which is 20 times faster than the commonly used Bluetooth SBC codec, so DJs will not notice a delay, enabling accurate monitoring and mixing. The transmitter is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry with your gear.
High-Volume Playback and Sound Insulation for Accurate Monitoring in any Environment
When using the SonicLink wireless connection, DJs will hear music loud and clear, even in a noisy DJ booth or on stage. The HDJ-F10 headphones deliver high-quality sound reproduction at high volumes. Plus, thanks to newly developed earpads and housing structures, they achieve an outstanding level of sound insulation that’s higher than even the Pioneer DJ flagship HDJ-X10 model.Â
Tight Kick Sound and Wide-ranging Audio
The HDJ-F10 is the flagship headphones model under the AlphaTheta brand and are designed with a meticulous focus on sound quality. The newly developed 40-millimetre driver features a PEEK-PU-PEEK composite film diaphragm made from two different materials to help achieve a high-resolution sound, from low to high frequencies, where even the smallest details in the music can be clearly heard. The housing structure combines a bass-reflex duct and air chamber to ensure a high level of sound insulation while also expanding and enhancing low frequencies. This enables DJs to monitor crisp, punchy kick sounds, even in a loud DJ booth, and provides a studio-level monitoring environment for a wide range of situations, from DJing to music production and listening to tracks when preparing for gigs.
Ruggedness for Professional Use
DJs can rely on the HDJ-F10 headphones to handle life in any environment. The headphones are highly robust, and they have passed the stringent US Military MIL-STD-810H shock test.
Bluetooth Connectivity and Noise Cancelling Mode to Serve a Complete DJ Workflow
With active Noise Cancelling mode and Transparency mode, DJs will be ready for any scenario. While preparing tracks, DJs can choose whether to reduce or let in the sound from the world around them. This can be achieved when connected to a Bluetooth device. In Noise Cancelling mode, DJs can shut out ambient noise even in a busy city. This assists to become immersed in the music. With Transparency mode, DJs can hear external sounds and have conversations with people while listening to music.
Long Battery Life for Extended DJ Sets
Feel confident that the HDJ-F10 headphones will go the distance, even during a long DJ set. A full battery delivers 9 hours of continual use with SonicLink or 30 hours when connected with Bluetooth. The HDJ-F10’s can also be connected via a cable.
