Stagg introduces the new SPM PRO in-ear monitors, designed to offer great value for money. How do they differ from their predecessors, and are they worth considering?
Stagg is a brand well-known among musicians looking for good, affordable equipment. Their previous models, the SPM235 and SPM435, gained popularity by delivering good sound quality at a reasonable price. Now, the time has come for the SPM PRO model, which brings several important improvements, especially for musicians performing long stage sessions.
One of the key features of the new Stagg SPM PRO in-ear monitors is their hybrid driver setup—two balanced armature drivers and one dynamic driver. This combination provides a wide frequency range (15 Hz – 35 kHz), ensuring precise sound reproduction across the entire spectrum, from deep bass to detailed high frequencies. The balanced armature drivers, operating on an electromagnetic principle, offer exceptional accuracy and sound detail, making the SPM PRO a great choice for musicians who require precise reproduction of every nuance.
Balanced armature drivers have several key advantages:
- High sound precision: Detailed reproduction of even the smallest musical nuances.
- Compact size: Allows them to be housed in small in-ear monitor designs.
- Low power consumption: More energy-efficient, leading to longer device operation.
- Fast response: Improved transient response, ensuring clear sound in high frequencies.
Comfort is another key aspect worth highlighting. The PRO series features a thicker and more flexible cable, significantly improving comfort during long stage sessions. This design helps prevent tangling and reduces skin irritation, which will be appreciated by musicians who often need to route the cable under their clothing.
The SPM PRO monitors are available in two color options: transparent and black. The 1.35m cable provides ample freedom of movement, while their lightweight design—just 20g—makes them virtually unnoticeable when worn.
The set includes three pairs of memory foam tips, three pairs of silicone tips, and a foam protective case, allowing users to achieve a perfect fit for maximum comfort and acoustic isolation.
In summary, the SPM PRO represents a significant step forward in Stagg’s lineup. The hybrid drivers ensure high-quality sound, while the enhanced comfort features make them an ideal choice for long hours on stage.
