Armin van Buuren and Philips A5-PRO nominated for 2015 International Dance Music Awards
Grammy-nominated DJ’s choice of headphones
up for battle in Best Headphones category
Grammy-nominee and five-time World Best DJ
Armin van Buuren has been nominated seven times in six categories for the
upcoming International Dance Music Awards show. Included in his nominations is
the Philips A5-PRO which is up for the Best Headphones category.
The A5-PRO, which he created in
collaboration with Philips, brings together Armin’s industry insights and
extensive experience as a world-class DJ with Philips technical expertise and
heritage in audio innovation. Specially designed by Armin to meet his needs as
a globe-trotting DJ, the Philips A5-PRO is an essential tool for professional
DJs.
The headphones combine superior robust
aluminum close-backed fit with ultimate source accuracy and clarity for
professional audio monitoring and mixing on the road. Additionally, it also
offers unparalleled sound isolation which is ideal when performing to large
crowds.
“After my passport the first thing I take
on the road with me is my headphones”, says Armin van Buuren. “Through my headphones
I control everything. It needs to be a good piece of equipment because you’re
using it the whole night of your DJ set.
“Philips believed in my idea for the A5-PRO
and I believed in the idea Philips had”, adds Armin. “I wanted to develop headphones
that have easily replaceable parts and that you can stylize: comfortable, with
great sound, and durable.”
Tim Homewood, Creative Director of Philips,
comments: “This collaboration is about using Armin’s experience to create
an essential tool for the needs of professional DJs. It’s so much more than a
simple endorsement – we created this headphone together from scratch.”
The Philips A5-PRO has replaceable bayonet
mount cushions (available in three sizes) that ensure total comfort. The
foldable anodized aluminum is also easy to customize for optimum sound
isolation. Just twist and click much like you would a camera lens to change.
The Philips A5-PRO headphones’ 50mm high-definition
neodymium drivers offer high quality low-frequency sounds and are engineered
for 3500mW high power handling. Source reproduction and sound clarity is second
to none, enabling expert listeners to really listen and feel the sound.
The A5-PRO is the latest product in a range
of tools for professional and aspiring DJs released as part of the ongoing
collaboration between the two Dutch giants. In 2013, Armin revealed the Philips
M1X-DJ sound system which allows anyone to mix, play and share music in one
multifunctional device.
