Fender Introduces Pro In-Ear Monitors
Fender has introduced their first line of Pro In-Ear Monitors. The new in-ears are designed and hand-assembled in Nashville, Tennessee and come in five models: the DXA1, the FXA2, the FXA5, the FXA6 and the FXA7.
“All models except the DXA1 boast 3D-printed digital hybrid technology housings, custom designed drivers and select models in the series feature a patented Hybrid-Dynamic tuned Balanced Armature Array (HDBA),” Fender writes. “The combination of features offers the comfort and feel of custom-molded monitors, plus rich, full-frequency response and substantial bass for an overall stunning aural performance.”
Each set includes a deluxe carrying case, secure-fitting tips, a cleaning tool, and a detachable cable. They range in price from $99.99 to $499.99.
