Alongside the Korg Wavestate Synthesizer at NAMM 2020 in Anaheim, California, Korg has headphones that can handle “intelligent” Noise Cancellation. The Korg NCQ1 has a clue: With it, it is possible not to simply switch the noise canceling on or off – it can be regulated! And it also works if the DJ only uses one shell. According to Korg, active noise control is installed in the NCQ1, which copes particularly well with high-level interference signals.
The Korg NCQ1 is operated via Bluetooth or very old-school by cable, with a wireless operation Korg specifies a runtime of up to 36 hours for the NCQ1. Siri and other voice assistants such as Google Assistant are supported as well as call control is via the touch-sensitive switches on the earcup.
The Korg NC-Q1 DJ Headphones utilize advanced noise cancellation technology that is developed to protect your ears in very loud environments while delivering high definition sound and noise-less monitoring. An active noise cancellation (ANC) and passive noise cancellation (PNC) with incoming sound attenuation and an array of smart features to provide a flexible, controllable, as well as best sound experience with the newly launched Pioneer DJ Mixer DJM-V10.
The Smart Monitoring and Sound Enhancing functions allow for remarkable customization, where users can change how they hear external sounds by adjusting volume balance, EQ presets, and choosing the ear from which to monitor (right, left, or both). The smart transport control automatically stops the audio stream on your playback device when you remove the headphones and restarts it when you put them on again.
