The Empire Studio Reference - ESR - has invariably found its way into the hands of recording and mixing engineers the world over. Endorsed by professionals from every corner of the globe, the ESR was the detail-king of the Empire Ears line-up, and now the MKII version's inclusion of a dual EST array raises the bar even higher.
Presenting with a much larger soundstage and absolutely ludicrous resolution, the ESR MKII's exceptionally linear sound signature gives the listener a pristine image of every element in the music - every detail is highlighted and positioned with extreme accuracy across the frequency spectrum.
Delivering with a mathematical authority more reminiscent of a scientific instrument than a personal listening device, the ESR MKII has set a new standard for those seeking resolution and detail.
The ESR MKII comes dressed to deliver surgical precision with its Brushed Silver faceplate.

Designer's Notes
“If you need the whole truth and nothing but the truth, look no further than the ESR MKII. Designed to deliver the absolute bottom line in realistic representation, the ESR MKII is the true-to-source authority for the professional and the passionate alike. The class leading instrument separation and detail retrieval are driven by the dual electrostatic drivers and are delivered with such smoothness as to never fatigue the ear.
How do you follow up one of the most renowned studio IEMs on the market? You present the same flat sound signature with an unrivaled realism, with a coherency and timbre that are second to none.”
