The August 1992 STAX catalog covers the full lineup from this unusual Japanese company that made only electrostatic products - and did it better than almost anyone else. Twelve pages, something remarkable on nearly every one.
The core is their “earspeakers” - electrostatic headphones in STAX terminology: SR-Sigma, SR-Lambda, SR-alpha, and SR-80MX. Paired with a complete range of driver units from the transformer-based SRD-6SB adaptor up through the tube SRM-T1 and the flagship SRA-14S preamplifier/driver at 198,000 yen. The DAC-X1t with 18-bit 8x oversampling costs as much as the NON-NFB DMA-X2 power amplifier - 850,000 yen each. The electrostatic loudspeakers ELS-F81X and ELS-F83X are made-to-order floor-standers with no magnets or voice coils. Also included: the UA tonearm series and the EK-1/MK-2 kit for building your own electrostatic speakers.

| 1960年にスタックスのイヤースピーカー（コンデンサー型ヘッドフォン）の第1号、SR-1が登場して早くも31年がたちました。以来数々の改良を経て現在の各モデルが開発され、イヤースピーカーの持つ再現力にも磨きがかかり、多くの音楽ファンやオーディオマニアを魅了し続けてまいりました。発音原理上の優位性からくる圧倒的な音の精度は特に精度を要求される放送局、レコードメーカー、録音スタジオ等の検聴用として広くご採用いただいている所以です。私たちがヘッドフォンと呼ばず敢えてイヤースピーカーと名付けたのはその再現力の優位性、音の精度の素晴らしさを表現したかったからですが、その圧倒的優位性は次の各項目に集約できます。 | It has already been 31 years since the first model of STAX earspeakers (condenser-type headphones), the SR-1, appeared in 1960. Since then, through many improvements, the current models have been developed, the reproduction ability of earspeakers has been polished, and they have continued to captivate many music fans and audio enthusiasts. The overwhelming accuracy of sound that comes from the advantage of the sound-generating principle is the reason they are widely adopted for monitoring use at broadcasting stations, record makers, recording studios and other places where accuracy is especially demanded. We deliberately named them earspeakers rather than headphones because we wanted to express the superiority of their reproduction ability and the splendor of their sound accuracy, and that overwhelming superiority can be summarized in the following items. |
| これからオーディオを本格的に始めようという方も、長年オーディオを楽しんでこられた方にもスタックスのイヤースピーカーシステムなら間違いなく「選んで、使ってみて良かった」と言っていただける製品群と言えましょう。 | STAX earspeaker systems are a group of products of which both those who are about to start audio in earnest and those who have enjoyed audio for many years will undoubtedly say, "I'm glad I chose and used them." |
