Ultimate Ears Pro Announces UE PREMIER In-Ear Monitors at NAMM 2023

Ultimate Ears Pro Announces UE PREMIER In-Ear Monitors at NAMM 2023

Loaded with an industry-leading 21 drivers per side and boasting a frequency range of 5Hz-40kHz, UE PREMIER are UE Pro’s most powerful, nuanced and versatile in-ear monitors to date.


Whether performing live on stage, recording in the studio, or listening to music with professional sound quality, UE PREMIER sets a new gold standard for exceptional sound quality.

ā€œBuilding upon the success of the groundbreaking UE LIVE, we wanted to push ourselves to the limit of what was previously thought possible,ā€ said Philippe Depallens, VP & General Manager, Ultimate Ears Pro. ā€œOur team of experts embarked on a mission to take our technology further than ever before. UE PREMIER represents the pinnacle of UE Pro innovation, with immersive studio-quality sound that brings even the most intricate details into focus.ā€

Each of UE PREMIER’s 21 drivers was chosen in the pursuit of audio excellence. Working in tandem with a five-way passive crossover, each driver was carefully selected and individually tuned to efficiently and accurately reproduce different frequency bands across the audio spectrum.

To extend the frequency range down to 5hZ and ensure a low-end listeners can feel without compromising on size, UE PREMIER starts with two dual sub-low drivers in parallel with four dual mid-low drivers. A quad-mid driver provides unmatched nuance, clarity and adaptability no matter the instrument, genre or listening environment. UE Pro’s proprietary True Tone driver and Knowles’ proprietary Quad Super Tweeter extends the frequency range up to 40,000 kHz, delivering the richness and warmth from upper-register harmonics.

UE PREMIER is available now at pro.ultimateears.com in the USA and internationally through Ultimate Ears Pro’s dealer distribution network for $2,999. Orders will ship on May 15, 2023.

This legendary vintage rack unit will inspire you to think about effects with a new perspective.

When guitarists think of effects, we usually jump straight to stompboxes—they’re part of the culture! And besides, footswitches have real benefits when your hands are otherwise occupied. But real-time toggling isn’t always important. In the recording studio, where we’re often crafting sounds for each section of a song individually, there’s little reason to avoid rack gear and its possibilities. Enter the iconic Eventide H3000 (and its massive creative potential).

The luthier’s stash.

There is more to a guitar than just the details.

A guitar is not simply a collection of wood, wire, and metal—it is an act of faith. Faith that a slab of lumber can be coaxed to sing, and that magnets and copper wire can capture something as expansive as human emotion. While it’s comforting to think that tone can be calculated like a tax return, the truth is far messier. A guitar is a living argument between its components—an uneasy alliance of materials and craftsmanship. When it works, it’s glorious.
