Knowles Corporation announced its selection by EarSonics to provide balanced armature (BA) drivers for its EM96 Customizable In-Ear Monitor (IEM). Knowles BAs have long been a favorite of IEM designers due to their small form factor, powerful output, and treble extension capabilities. EM96 delivers unmatched precision and fidelity with a three-way crossover of six Knowles drivers per earpiece, including two woofers and two mid-range BAs.

It is also the first IEM in Europe to use two Knowles Supertweeters. Featuring a patented coil design with reduced inductance, the Knowles Supertweeter uses a specially constructed high-stiffness, low-mass reed to deliver unprecedented output and ultra-high treble frequency without requiring an amplifier or transformer. The Supertweeters enable EM96 to achieve a high-frequency response extending up to 25kHz.

The unique driver architecture works with EarSonics TRUWAVETM and O-Corrector technology to achieve a wide stereo image, an exceptional air feeling, and a consistent frequency response suitable for a range of listening conditions.
