NAMM WINTER SESSION, ANAHEIM, CA, January 15, 2004 — Audio-Technica is displaying the new ATH-M20 Professional Monitor Headphones at this Winter NAMM Show. Following in the tradition of the critically acclaimed ATH-M30 and ATH-M40 Professional Monitor Headphones, the new ATH-M20 headphones utilize a closed-back design, feature a rich bass response with an extended high end, and are available at an extremely affordable price point.

Employing the company’s latest transducer technology, the ATH-M20 dynamic stereo headphones offer the highest level of sonic accuracy in a design engineered to provide maximum comfort for hours of listening.

A perfect choice for project studio engineers, home recordists, electronic music labs, and recording musicians, the ATH-M20 headphones feature a low profile, closed-back design providing exceptional clarity and superior isolation in high-volume listening situations.
