Know before you buy
The ten-driver configuration uses a dedicated split—four low, four mid, and two high-frequency drivers—to handle specific parts of the audio spectrum. This allows for greater separation and detail, ensuring that complex tracks remain clear without frequencies bleeding into one another.
With an impedance of 8.5 Ω, these monitors are highly efficient and can be driven easily by most smartphones or laptops. However, the included USB-C DAC is designed to optimize the signal path, ensuring you get the cleanest possible output from digital sources.
TAEC, or Tuned Acoustic Expansion Chamber, is a proprietary design that helps the high-frequency drivers perform without the need for traditional sound tubes. This results in a more open, airy treble response and improved spatial imaging.
The housing is crafted from CNC aluminum, which is both lightweight and durable. Because the package includes multiple eartip options, you can experiment with different materials and sizes to find a secure, comfortable seal that stays stable for hours.
Yes, the Andromeda 10 uses standard 2-pin connectors, making the cable fully detachable and replaceable. The included modular Time Link Cable is designed for versatility, allowing you to swap connections based on your preferred audio source.
The NEMC circuit is integrated to reduce background noise and interference. It ensures that the high sensitivity of the balanced armatures doesn't pick up unwanted hiss from your playback device, resulting in a blacker, quieter background.
