Unmatched audio accuracy
Sennheiser's innovative Open-frame Architecture technology takes your audio accuracy to the next level. This advancement enables you to achieve enhanced clarity and balance in your masters, making it easier to identify and resolve issues related to panning placement and conflicting frequencies.
Superior bass definition
The core of each HD 490 Pro Plus earcup features a state-of-the-art neodymium magnet and an innovative low-frequency cylinder. Working together, these components deliver full, accurate, and clearly defined bass. This means you'll be able to pinpoint and resolve any problematic low-end frequencies that might hinder the achievement of a meticulously clear mix or master.

This cutting-edge plugin allows you to experience the acoustics of an ideal mixing studio, putting you in the "sweet spot" and helping you achieve a balanced and consistent mix on different playback systems. With dearVR MIX-SE, your digital audio workstation becomes the ultimate virtual mixing environment.
