Looking for who said what in the sound world? Well there is no better place to find every audio related press release than 3DsoundSurge.!

The system has been in development for the past year. The total build quantity of the Limited Edition is less than 500 pieces.

The pioneering system consists of the FreeSystems-designed digital infrared transmitter, a digital receiver-headphone amp and a handcrafted Grado headphone. To assure audiophile-grade performance, FreeSystems has incorporated the well-regarded Grado RA-1 headphone amplifier within the receiver. Visually dramatic, yet classically understated, the elegant contrast of metallic black and silver in the receiver is restated in the Grado headphone -- with precision machined aluminum components and black fine leather headband. Freespan technology is used to provide a crystal-clear digital wireless link between the audio source and the user.

``Many people like to listen in their favorite chair, which is not usually within reach of the audio system,'' Grado Labs president John Grado explains. ``They need be to able to control the headphone volume and don't want a cable or interconnect stretched across the room. The challenge was to find a link that is as good as, or better than wire, yet without its physical presence,'' he added.

``FreeSystems is delighted to collaborate with Grado in developing a product that we believe will deliver the benefits of wireless without compromising musical fidelity -- by the melding of their art of great headphone design with the science of Freespan technology'' says Chong Lim Neoh, Managing Director of FreeSystems.

The Digital Headphone System (www.FreeSystems-Grado-LE.com) which carries a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $3,800, will be available by February 1st, 2002, exclusively though a few select audio-video retailers.
