64 Audio launches the A3t custom in-ear monitor, the three-driver IEM includes 64 Audio’s famed technologies at an accessible price point.
“Our new A3t is a perfect tool for any audio engineer or musician looking for a neutral, balanced and musical reference monitor for live and recorded performance,” explained 64 Audio Founder and Chief Sound Designer, Vitaliy Belonozhko. “With A3t, our tia technology is available at a new lower price point, along with LID and our patented apex and 3Dfit technologies.”
The goal with A3t was simple. 64 Audio wanted to make a reference monitor that rivals products more than five times its price. This simple yet powerful arrangement of balanced armature drivers and crossover components achieves this perfectly.
“One of the first things you think when playing your initial reference track is ‘This sounds right’, pure and simple,” Belonozhko continued. “Usually when listening to an audio product, especially as a sceptic, you are able to quickly latch onto something that could’ve been done better. The A3t simply reproduces the mix without anything distracting you from the music. Everything sits in its proper place…capable bass, present mids, and smooth yet detailed highs. To fans of our A6t and A12t, this will be a very familiar sound.”
tia is a technology exclusive to 64 Audio that works by eliminating sound-altering tubes and dampers. Sound produced by the tia system is able to disperse freely and effortlessly, yielding an incredibly smooth and musical frequency response.
LID is a correctional circuit that presents a flat impedance to the amplifier, resulting in a sound devoid of artificial coloration. Exclusive to 64 Audio, LID ensures a consistent frequency response regardless of the source, making it perfect for musicians plugging into a variety of equipment. 3DFit is a new way of manufacturing custom in-ear monitors that preserves the details of your ear impressions for the most comfortable-fitting IEMs possible.
64 Audio’s patented Air Pressure Exchange (apex) is a pneumatically interactive vent that releases air pressure in a sealed ear canal. This venting alleviates listener fatigue and opens the soundstage. Unlike competitor venting solutions, apex preserves the bass frequencies and produces a more open soundstage, which helps the listener distinguish individual instruments. The apex module is also engineered with features to prevent vent-clogging and wind noise. Its compact and durable construction is virtually maintenance-free, designed for the most demanding users.
