The ESR MKII features an upgraded 5 driver hybrid configuration, consisting of triple balanced armatures and dual electrostatics, alongside a completely reengineered 4-way synX crossover network driven by EIVEC and ARC technology to effortlessly reproduce the sonic transparency and critical details needed for monitoring, mixing and mastering. The ESR MKII is Empire’s flattest in-ear monitor and it delivers true-to-recording dynamics, ultra-fast transient response and wide dispersion to meet the needs of music, cinema and broadcast production.
Genetically dissimilar from the rest of the IEM world, our synX crossover system truly stands out with countless bespoke methods and technologies protecting it as a unique masterpiece. A marriage of 2 different driver technologies become symphonized by a unique, proprietary 4-way synX crossover system designed to maximize performance from each and every driver.
The lightning-quick electrostatic drivers accommodates ESR MKII’s wide frequency range while remaining balanced and compact. A single bespoke transformer unites the dual electrostats via EIVEC to all other components while eliminating any signs of phase incoherence and distortion.
ARC (Anti-Resonance Compound) is a proprietary conformal coating that virtually eliminates unwanted vibrations and resonance from within IEMs. ARC effectively increases the mass of the components it’s applied to: every driver, crossover, and sound tube. This gives the internals more solidity while serving as a dampener to absorb the unwanted resonance instead of reflecting them out of phase. With A.R.C. clarity is increased substantially, bass is deeper, and the IEM becomes more efficient.
At Empire Ears we believe that an extraordinary IEM requires an extraordinary cable. We’re proud to introduce the Alpha-IV (A4); a premium handcrafted 4 conductor cable comprised of a proprietary 26AWG UPOCC Litz Copper with multi-size stranding. The advantage of multi-sized stranded design within the same encapsulations enables A4 to achieve distinct highs and details due to the signal transmission speed in thinner cable strands, while the thicker size cable strands deliver smoother bass and mids.
