- Released in 1997 following the EX5 , as the flaghip of that generation, still using the same mechanism (apart the belt tensioner), upgraded electronics, exceptionally strong metal case, one button operation, only two mechanical switches on the main unit (3 position volume / AVLS setting & Dolby), later replaced by the well known EX9 that has many similarities but newer and upgraded design.
