Micro Seiki - Micromonitor MX-1 Electrostatic Headset

General Information

Micro Seiki MicroMonitor MX-1

Consists of the MS-2 Headset and the MP-1 Power Source

Micro Seiki is best known for their Turntables. When they decided to make a set of Electrostatic Headphones they went to the market leader, Stax.

The headset seems based on the SR-X while the Powersupply seems a variant of the SRD-7 "Energiser".

Unlike the Stax branded products the MS-2 sports high-compliance polyurethane drivers set with micro-photo etching for excellent uniformity and improved power-handling linearity. The MS-2 weights in at only 240g and boasts a frequency response up to 25kHz

The MP-1 works with a 9V battery that will last about 2000 hours, it is intended to plug into a Speaker Amplifier and has a switch to switch between speakers and headphones.

Pros: Great sound quality.
Cons: Need to be in line between amplifier and speakers.
I purchased these prior to 1980 (I think) and have had them in storage for around 25 years. They still work perfectly. I don't have any serious equipment anymore so it seems a shame to have them sitting doing nothing. I remember that they cost £100. ( a lot of money in those days: around 1/2 weeks wages). I may put them on eBay soon.

HI

Does anybody know where I can locate and obtain a schematic for the energiser that goes with the Micro Seiki MX1 Electrostatic headphones? I have been searching long and hard and it appears to be an impossible task!

Kindest Regards
Kevin
