Know before you buy
Yes, these are designed as portable studio monitors. They prioritize tonal accuracy and a neutral midrange, making them a reliable tool for engineers and audiophiles who need to hear the original mix exactly as it was intended.
The IMPACT² system utilizes two dynamic drivers to handle the low end, which significantly boosts bass impact and texture without bleeding into the midrange. This allows for a powerful sub-bass presence while maintaining the clarity required for professional monitoring.
Yes, the Hype 4 features a detachable 0.78mm 2-pin connector system. This allows you to easily swap the included silver-plated OCC cable for other compatible aftermarket cables if you prefer.
With an impedance of 17Ω and a sensitivity of 105dB, the Hype 4 is relatively easy to drive. While they will work well with most standard mobile devices, using a high-quality DAC or amplifier can help you extract the full technical detail and treble extension from the drivers.
