Overview

Ushering in a new era of technological innovation, a 10-driver hybrid UIEM, building on the heritage of Nio. The pulsating heart is made up of two new custom 9mm dynamic drivers in a True Isobaric configuration, delivering unprecedented low-frequency capability.

While the tia™ high-driver remains the criterion in high-frequency performance, the new tia waveguide optimizes its efficiency while offering greater tuning control. The six low-mid and single high-mid balanced armature drivers carry through. Their implementation was re-engineered to maximize space while integrating 3D printed acoustic tuning features.

Design and Aesthetics

The outer shell remains the same size, while all significant structural changes occur internally. The faceplate now features a sleeker chamfer, seamlessly blending with the matte black-finished aluminum shell.

The final cosmetic touch comes in the form of an homage to Nio: a dreamy purple abalone chip made from responsibly harvested New Zealand Paua shell.

Sound Characteristics

What is soon to be a new benchmark in acoustic delivery, capable of visceral bass while leaving room for the rest of the spectrum to shine. The saturated mids continue to evoke a similar analog warmth found in Nio, while the highs propel it into the territory of some of the most resolving audio products in the world.

Advanced Technologies

• Tubeless In-Ear Audio (tia): A patented IEM design methodology that aims to reduce unwanted resonance and distortion for a transparent and lifelike sound signature.
• Air Pressure Exchange (Apex): A patented vent that releases air pressure in a sealed ear canal while retaining standard IEM levels of isolation.
• Linear Impedance Design (LID): A patented circuit that corrects the non-linear electrical resistance of the multiple driver-sets.
