UE Pro Reference Remastered Sound Signature Deep Dive

If you’re considering which sound signature is best for you, we’ll help narrow it down. All UE sound signatures are designed to reproduce audio faithfully, but some models are better suited for different applications. Our UE Reference Remastered (RR) sound signature is a critical listening tool that reproduces music the way it’s meant to be heard. In this article, we discuss what makes UE RR a unique option and give you extra insight into our industry-leading earphones and IEMs. 

The UE RR sound signature was created to give mastering and recording engineers and musicians a reliable tool for critical listening. We partnered with Capitol Studios to carefully design drivers that produce a flat frequency response. If you’re looking for an organic, true reproduction of your music, UE RR is the perfect choice for you. 

When creators, studio engineers and producers need to hear pure sound, they turn to UE RR. This sound signature delivers a flat frequency response, so you can hear every voice and instrument in its truest form. So how does UE RR produce a flat response? UE RR features an armature for every part of the frequency spectrum—low, mid and high. Along with the three-way crossover, all frequencies are produced accurately up to 40kHz and as low as 5Hz—beyond the range of human hearing. 

All UE sound signatures are designed to block up to -26dB of ambient noise. When you’re in the studio or listening at home, you can focus on what’s important—your music. All UE earphones and IEMs block noise using passive noise isolation, which is preferred over active noise cancellation, or ANC by audiophiles and musicians alike. What’s the difference between passive noise isolation and ANC? Passive noise isolation blocks sound naturally, whereas ANC is known to cause ear fatigue and distorted sound quality. Worried about feeling too isolated on stage? UE PRO models have an ambient port option that allows ambiance to reach your eardrum through a -12dB filter. When the ports are closed, you’ll experience the full -26dB of noise isolation.

On-Stage or Off

You don’t have to be on stage to experience what UE RR has to offer. Any UE sound signature can be used wherever you want, thanks to two alternate cable styles—the wired SuperBax and wireless Bluetooth cables. Looking for a road-ready cable that can withstand anything? The SuperBax cable is perfect for touring musicians and audio engineers who want a heavy-duty cable. Use the Bluetooth cable when you’re at home or on the go. Both cables are sweat-proof and deliver high quality audio.
