Know before you buy
This hybrid setup uses a dedicated dynamic driver for deep, impactful bass and four balanced armature drivers to handle the mids and highs. It provides a balanced sound profile that combines the punch of traditional speakers with the precision and clarity required for professional monitoring.
The two switches on the shell allow you to toggle between four distinct tuning modes. This lets you adjust the bass response to suit your personal preference or the specific genre you are listening to without needing an external equalizer.
Yes, the handmade resin shell is designed to be lightweight and ergonomic, making it comfortable for extended wear. Because it is medical-grade, it is also hypoallergenic and durable enough for daily professional use.
Yes, the graphene single crystal silver-plated copper cable is specifically chosen to minimize the 'stethoscope effect,' where cable movement creates noise in the earpieces. It is flexible and designed to stay quiet even when you are moving.
With an impedance range of 27-40 ohms and a sensitivity of 112 dB, these monitors are efficient enough to be driven by most smartphones, tablets, or standard portable DAC/amps. You will get the best performance with a dedicated high-resolution player or a quality external DAC.
Absolutely. The Canon II uses a standard 0.78 mm 2-pin connector, which is widely compatible with most aftermarket upgrade cables.
