Craft Ears Aurum is the pinnacle of our work till now and the highlight of the Genesis Series. It’s flagship model so there couldn’t be a better name than “aurum”, which means “gold”. Especially, as characteristics of this element, like natural shine, were our inspiration to create Aurum’s exclusive design and sound signature.
Aurum is our first tribrid model equipped with a specially ordered dynamic driver, four carefully selected armature drivers, and two Sonion electrostatic drivers. Our proprietary technologies make it possible to set new standards for IEMs with three different types of drivers. Thanks to that Aurum provides exceptional extension on both ends, excellent coherency, a huge soundstage, precise imaging, and remarkable detail retrieval, yet sound always is natural, smooth, and well-balanced. Meet the Genesis of immaculate sound.
Sound from the Soul
Craft Ears always want to push the boundaries further to get the best sound possible. Our goal is to create something new and fresh. Aurum is our first tribrid IEM released as we believed that three different types of drivers allow us to create extraordinary and strongly technical sound, yet with great timbre and tonal balance.
Craft Ears Aurum is well-balanced IEM with great tonality and jaw-dropping extension on both ends. Its foundations are very deep and visceral, yet precise sub-bass and controlled, textured and impactful midbass. Each lower note is delivered with great attack and send of power, but never overshadows other frequencies. Mids are neutral and very detailed, yet have a good body and are smooth. Thanks to that, vocals could shine and easily reproduce an artist's emotions.
Highs are part of Aurum's sound we are especially proud of. Very detailed, yet smooth with good reproduction of cymbals. The extension could be compared with much more expensive IEM. It leads to a very airy presentation and great soundstage width. Aurum provides a sense of depth, precise imaging, and holographic feel with strong channel separation. Our flagship is a perfect mix of technicalities, naturalness, and musicality.
Technologies never seen before
The exceptional sound of Craft Ears Aurum is possible not only thanks to carefully selected drivers but also our own technologies.
We decided to go with a 10 mm PEN Dynamic Driver that works as a true subwoofer. It provides clear, fast, and full, but not overwhelming sub-bass. Lightweight yet stiff PEN diaphragm coupled with N35 magnet makes lows unmatchable - accurate dynamics and exquisite sound quality all at the same time.
Four Balanced drivers with carefully chosen five-way electrical crossover are responsible for mids and highs, making them defined with remarkably natural voicing and timbre with minimal sharpness. The Dual Electrostatic driver is the icing on the cake, which gives an exceptional sense of ultra highs.
We also improved, the beloved by you in Craft Six, SES™ (Space Expanse System) technology. We have tuned it, especially for electrostatic drivers inventing patent-pending SES™ 2.0, our very own field-specific, 3D printed, horn-loaded tweeter. We have reached the EST driver's loudness and expansion never seen before, maintaining its speed and softness. Now the last octave is exceptionally clean and refined as it was never in the past.
Craft Ears Aurum also features our True LoadTM technology. It ensures extremely flat Impedance and Phase, which helps in achieving great coherency between three different types of drivers.
All our IEMs are handcrafted to ensure the best quality. Our shells are made using precise 3D print technology from high quality imported acrylic resin and then finished by hand, while faceplates are entirely handcrafted, so each one is a unique piece of art. Our IEMs are made by a team with more than ten years experience in making earphones.
While we provide beautiful standard shells for each model, our customers could further customize designs. Not only for CIEMs, but also UIEMs unlike most of our competitors.
