By improving the airflow throughput of this driver, we enhance its overall energy. Additionally, the FA19 uses four of these custom drivers per channel, further ensuring there are enough drivers to produce detailed and powerful bass. The result is truly robust, impactful bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"FiiO FA19 10 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors BA Drivers\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/9104736.jpg?v=1714408436\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNegative feedback bass enhancement system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith four custom enhanced bass balanced armature drivers per channel developed by FIIO in collaboration with Knowles, the FA19 boasts ample bass. Engineers creatively made use of the precise DLP 3D printing technology to create a shell that helps to guide this low-frequency energy into the earphone’s rear cavity, effectively lowering the resonant frequency there – essentially a negative feedback bass enhancement system. The result is a bass that reaches extremely deep, uncommon among IEMs of its class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"FiiO FA19 10 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors Bass Enhancement System\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/9104737.png?v=1714408473\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMid-frequency notch filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA smooth mid-frequency curve not only stems from the core unit’s quality but also results from meticulous tuning by professional acousticians. The FA19 employs two classic Knowles ED mid BA drivers, known for their high resolution and favored by demanding listeners. However, if not implemented properly they can sometimes exhibit sibilance which negatively affects the overall listening experience. To address this, engineers have specially designed a mid-frequency notch filter at the bottom of these two mid BA drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"FiiO FA19 10 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors Mid Frequency Notch Filter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/9108593.png?v=1714408503\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgrade 1: Enhanced mids\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements show that the mid-frequency notch filter increases the sound pressure level between 1kHz and 3kHz in the FA19, avoiding a “hole” in the mids. This ensures not only that the highly detailed nature of a BA driver continues to come through, but also that the mids sound lusher and more realistic, as if the singer really was in front of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgrade 2: Sibilance eliminated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-frequency notch filter effectively filters out the 8kHz peak of the mid-frequency BA driver. Doing so reduces the overlap in frequency response range between the mid and treble BAs, eliminating sibilance and enhancing overall clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgrade 3: Refined treble\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the mid-frequency notch filter shifts the crossover point between multiple drivers to 3.5kHz. By establishing a clean separation between the mid and treble drivers, both sets of drivers properly work to their maximum potential within their designated frequency ranges without any interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"FiiO FA19 10 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors Refined Treble\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/9104738.png?v=1714408534\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRubycon audiophile-grade crossover capacitors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruly be immersed with each striking musical note thanks to a precise crossover. The FA19 employs audiophile-grade film capacitors as its electronic crossover components, which boast exceptional precision. While typical resistors used for crossovers have an error tolerance of around 1%, the FA19’s resistors have an impressively low error tolerance of 0.1%. Thus, compared to ordinary ceramic capacitors, the FA19 not only attains more accurate crossover points but also features enhanced high-frequency resolution without sacrificing tonal finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"FiiO FA19 10 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors Crossover Capacitiors\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/9104739.png?v=1714408562\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIN THE BOX\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFA19 Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick Start Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHB5 Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic Cord Clip*1, Swappable plug sterling silver cable*1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoam Eartips *2pairs (M), bass eartips*3 pairs (S\/M\/L), balanced eartips *3pairs (S\/M\/L) (M Pre-installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic Cord Clip *1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaning Brush *1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMMCX Quick Release Tool *1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5\/4.4mm Swappable Plugs*1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFA19 Earphones \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpinFit Eartips *3pairs (S\/M\/L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHS18 Eartips *3pairs (S\/M\/L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"FiiO FA19 10 Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors In The Box\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/fa19_in-the-box.png?v=1714408632\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarphone type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 balanced armature earphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWearing style\u003c\/strong\u003e: in-ear and around-the-ear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers\u003c\/strong\u003e:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Knowles bass BA*2, totaling 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnowles ED mid BA*2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnowles SWFK treble BA*2, totaling 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20Hz-40kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100@1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 106dB\/mW@1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 strands totaling 224 high purity pure silver wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable length\u003c\/strong\u003e: about 1.2m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle unit weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: about 7g (excluding cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarphone connector\u003c\/strong\u003e: expanded MMCX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio plugs\u003c\/strong\u003e: straight twist-lock swappable plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FiiO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165492920553,"sku":"FA19","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/fa19_main.png?v=1762466869","url":"https:\/\/audio46.mom\/products\/fiio-fa19-10-balanced-armature-in-ear-monitors","provider":"Audio46 Headphone Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
