It’s like a twin cylinder engine – delivering more horsepower and smoother operation compared to one with a single, larger piston.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompared to a traditional BA with a single, larger diaphragm, the all-new design incorporates two chambers, each housing its own diaphragm and drive rod actuated by a single coil, resulting in a higher, more powerful output for its size than any other BA \u003cbr\u003eand is excellent at expressing a warmer and more natural midrange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRich and Visceral Bass - All-New Dual Custom 10mm Dynamic Drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDual Custom Dynamic Drivers with PU + LCP Hybrid Diaphragms present a clean and balanced low to midrange with quick response. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dual 10mm Dynamic Drivers contained in the innovative 3D-printed chamber design provide a rich and high-definition low to midrange. The acoustic chamber is an all-new design by Campfire Audio, creating a faster and more powerful low frequency response without unnecessary pressure or exaggeration. Each driver creates rich reverberations through the vent holes located on the front of the drivers. This new design dramatically improves the expression of the drivers. With this design, we are able to create a magnificent low-note frequency while preserving the unique sound of the BA driver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeryllium \/ Copper MMCX Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBeryllium Copper MMCX connectors are more resilient against wear and tear than regular brass connectors, providing a robust mating mechanism; one that is typically made from soft brass.
