sE Electronics KLS 150 – Closed-back monitoring with Bass Control

The sE Electronics KLS 150 is the first pair of professional headphones from the microphone maker, and it is built for the whole signal chain: tracking, mixing and monitoring at front of house. A custom 40 mm driver keeps the low end controlled and readable, and a mechanical Bass Control lets you adjust it without DSP.

Key Features

• Custom 40 mm heavy-duty driver: Detailed, low-distortion sound with accurate, controlled bass that translates.
• Acoustic Bass Control: Open or close ports in each earcup to tune the low end without DSP, batteries or electronics.
• Dual-shell closed earcups: Strong passive isolation for loud stages and low headphone bleed into open mics.
• Interchangeable earcup covers: Protect your Bass Control setting from knocks and let you change the look.
• Memory foam and leatherette pads: Pressure-relieving comfort and a tight seal for long sessions.
• Road-ready build: Glass-fibre reinforced parts, corrosion-resistant spring steel and a locking detachable cable.

Customer Benefits

Most closed-backs give you one fixed tuning, which means you need a second pair when the job changes. The KLS 150 lets you set a neutral reference for mixing, add weight for a drummer's cue mix, or bring up punch on a loud stage, all at the earcup. Once you have found your setting, the covers lock it in place, and the laser-etched markers let you return to the same fit every time. The 90° swivelling earcups make one-ear monitoring easy, and the fold-flat design and 335 g weight mean the pair travels well between the control room and the venue.
