64 Audio

Vitaliy Belonozhko based 64 Audio in 2010, has develop into one of many main innovators within the high-end in-ear monitor (IEM) market. Initially named 1964 Ears, the model relies in Vancouver, Washington, and was born from Belonozhko’s need to craft a customized monitor for his spouse, which finally led to the event of the corporate’s now-renowned IEMs.

Since their creation 64 Audio has stored pushing the envelope with new applied sciences. They launched their tia drivers, that are overtly radiating balanced armature drivers. Other than that, additionally they launched LID (Linear Impedance Design) and apex. LID principally units an virtually linear impedance curve all through all the frequency vary, whereas apex helps mitigate ear-fatigue with a viscoelastic open-cell foam to regulate the speed at which air can move by way of the vent. That is an open module that eliminates pneumatic stress that builds up in an in any other case closed room.

64 Audio’s focus clientele-wise nevertheless shouldn’t be essentially audiophile primarily based. They work with many famend artists, equivalent to Beyonce, John Mayer, Nathan East, Black Eyed Peas or Bon Jovi. Simply to call just a few.

Their product vary goes from the A2e twin drivers as much as the whopping 18 driver A18t and A18s.

One factor that units 64 Audio aside from the competitors, is their all tube-less IEMs. They have been the primary to ever launch an IEM that didn’t use a single tube in it. This particular IEM has been sitting on the prime of their lineup ever since its introduction – in fact I’m talking in regards to the all mighty Tia Fourté! An IEM that also holds as much as its competitors, though it has been launched virtually 9 years in the past. How time flies!

Right now we’re testing their newest product, the Aspire 4.

Aspire 4

The 64 Audio Aspire 4 is a brand new entry within the firm’s lineup of common in-ear displays (IEMs), promising a really perfect mixture of efficiency, affordability, and revolutionary expertise. With a deal with delivering high-quality sound and a cushty match, the Aspire 4 is designed to enchantment to musicians, audio professionals, and discerning audiophiles.

The Aspire 4 carried out lots of 64 Audio’s proprietary applied sciences, like Apex Core, Waveguide and LID.

Apex (Air Stress Change) is certainly one of 64 Audio’s most integral applied sciences. It relieves the pneumatic stress that’s constructed up by conventional sealed IEMs. This air stress trade principally opens up the IEMs and simulates a secondary eardrum. By doing this, the fatigue of the human eardrum is taken away whereas the listening expertise over prolonged use turns into extra comfy. Not like most of 64 Audio’s common IEMs, the Aspire 4 options Apex Core – which is a non-user-replaceable model of Apex. You won’t be able to alter the sound of the Aspire 4 by swapping out Apex modules.

The Waveguide expertise principally is a 3D-printed pathway for the drivers, right here particularly for the treble BA driver. 64 Audio carried out Waveguide as a alternative for his or her typical tia drivers, which isn’t discovered within the Aspire 4.

Aspire 4 is a hybrid design, which makes use of one particular person dynamic driver for bass, two BA’s for mids, and a single BA for treble. Its rated frequency response is 10Hz – 20kHz. With a sensitivity of 108dB/mW and an impedance of 12 ohms, it received’t have issues working by way of any transportable gear.

The Aspire 4 sells for $ 899 and will be bought directly from 64 Audio or certainly one of their world retailers.

Bundle

When the Aspire 4 arrived at my doorstep, I used to be pleasantly stunned by the packaging. Even when the opposite IEMs from 64 Audio are available in a extra premium bundle, the Aspire 4 nonetheless delivers.

You get a big selection of ear-tips (silicone and foam) in addition to a cleansing device, a shirt-clip, a 6.35mm adapter and a small transport field.  Included can be (in fact) a cable, which is terminated to a single ended 3.5mm jack. There are not any choices for balanced connectors accessible.

All in all, I believe it’s a superb bundle, even when it doesn’t ooze luxurious.
