SR-1 - Overview
The first electrostatic headphone in world, debuted at a Tokyo show in 1959 and put into production in 1960. There were a number of different versions as the product evolved over its 8 year life span. Amongst the changes was a move from a 150VDC bias to 200VDC (which Stax used until 1977) and a new earpad design. There were at least three know versions but due to the age and rarity of the SR-1 it is difficult to pinpoint what the difference between each version was.
