In the Lineage of Audeze?s Pro Headphones, Designed with Manny Marroquin
Designed in collaboration with Grammy-winning engineer Manny Marroquin, the MM-100 stands alongside Audeze?s studio references such as the LCD-X and MM-500. It democratizes access to the ?house? Audeze sound by delivering an open, precise, and reproducible listening experience, ideal for making faster decisions during production flow.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The MM-100 is aimed at sound engineers, beatmakers, mobile creators, and musicians who demand a faithful open-back monitoring headphone for mixing, editing, and critical evaluation. Its natural soundstage and phase coherence help judge spectral balance, dynamics, and stereo imaging with confidence, both in the studio and home studio.
Key Features for Reliable Monitoring
Precision Planar Drivers
The 90 mm speakers combine Fluxor magnet arrays and Fazor phase guides for exemplary diaphragm motion control. The ultra-thin Uniforce diaphragm ensures fast transient response, tight bass, and clear highs, with THD below 0.1% at 100 dB SPL.
Comfort and Ergonomics
Designed for long days, the MM-100 features a lightweight suspension strap that distributes pressure and gel ear pads that conform to the ear. The reversible single-sided cable connects to either the left or right side, freeing space around an instrument, keyboard, or console. A soft pouch facilitates transport.
Professional Build
Hand-assembled and tested in Southern California, the magnesium/steel spring chassis combines rigidity and lightness for durable reliability between studio, road, and office. The open design offers an airy stereo image and precise source localization.
