Three proprietary 64 Audio technologies are then added to the system: tia, apex and LID.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 drivers per side with an integrated four-way passive crossover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 dynamic bass drivers in a TRUE ISOBARIC configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 balanced armatures for mids and 1 BA for upper-mid frequencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 direct-radiating tia high-frequency driver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e64 Audio tia, apex and LID technologies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecified frequency response from 5 Hz to 22 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.3-ohm impedance and 103 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz\/1 mW.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e904L stainless-steel shells with DLC coating and 4.4 mm UP-OCC cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIsobaric bass and tia treble\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two dynamic drivers operate in an acoustically coupled chamber to extend and control the low range without relying on one larger diaphragm. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the tia driver removes the conventional sound tube and radiates directly into its dedicated acoustic chamber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApex and LID change the relationship with ear and source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apex system releases part of the pressure that develops in the sealed ear canal and uses interchangeable modules offering different isolation levels. LID compensates for nonlinear impedance behaviour in the multi-driver system, helping the frequency response remain more consistent with sources of differing output impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore focused than Novus and Stella\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXIO uses fewer drivers than Novus and Stella but concentrates on patented 64 Audio solutions within a ten-transducer architecture. Luna is more radical still, relying on a single planar unit. XIO therefore suits listeners looking for a sophisticated multi-driver IEM with particular attention to ear-canal pressure, electrical consistency and bass control. The included apex modules also let the user alter the balance between isolation and venting without changing cable or source, making fit and acoustic pressure easier to tailor to the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Astell \u0026 Kern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58600245526872,"sku":null,"price":4278.93,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/astell-kern-xio-front-hohke.jpg?v=1790777044","url":"https:\/\/videosell.eu\/products\/astell-kern-xio","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
