For the music producers, mix engineers and broadcasters, there's no better in-ear partner for delivering truly honest audio playback.
ESR's goal is to provide an in-ear reference point for mixing and mastering engineers by achieving the true-to-recording dynamics, ultra fast transients, super-wide dispersion and most importantly the flattest response possible. As such, the ESR MK II IEM offers unprecedented sonic transparency, a critical perspective on. material, and unrivalled detail during playback.
The ESR MK II is powered by three triple-balanced armatures combined with dual electrostatics, culminating in a five-driver hybrid configuration. Each part of the driver array is supported by Empire Ears' specially developed synX crossover network, EIVEC electrostatic control technology, plus ARC anti resonance treatment to avoid contamination of the soundstage.
