Know before you buy
The V16 Divinity offers a studio-focused, balanced sound. It features a punchy, controlled bass that doesn't bleed into the mids, a neutral midrange for accurate note reproduction, and a detailed treble that avoids harshness.
With an impedance of 18ohm and a sensitivity of 112dB, these IEMs are relatively easy to drive. While they will work with most standard devices, a high-quality dedicated DAC or amplifier will help you get the most out of the complex 5-way crossover system.
The included cable features a modular plug design that allows you to swap between 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 4.4mm terminations. This makes it compatible with almost any source device without needing an adapter.
Yes, the V16 Divinity is tuned for a comfortable, non-fatiguing treble response. Combined with their ergonomic fit, they are well-suited for extended professional monitoring or casual listening.
These IEMs use a standard 2-pin connector. This is a widely used, secure connection type that makes it easy to replace or upgrade your cables in the future.
The 5-way crossover acts as an internal traffic controller, ensuring that each of the 16 balanced armature drivers receives only the specific frequency range it is designed to handle. This results in cleaner separation and more precise detail retrieval across the entire spectrum.
