S5 – 5 Balanced Armatures to Expand Your Mind
The S5 utilizes 5 balanced armature drivers, with two low-frequency units, one mid-frequency unit, and two high-frequency units integrated in a three-way crossover system. As a model placed in the middle of our S-series lineup, we designed the S5 to deliver a balanced and flexible tuning that can meet the needs of a wide audience. In the bass, we focused on quality, rather than quantity. Our crossover integration and tuning procedure emphasizes the resolution, speed, and imaging of the low-frequency to set the cornerstone for the rest of the frequencies. This was critical, as we wanted the mid-frequencies to shine. In essence, the S5 is a vocal-lover’s dream. We set the filter band fairly wide in the midrange to maximize every detail of vocals. We elevated the midline just slightly above a neutral tuning in order to give warmth without compromising on the overall tuning. We believe this makes the S5 versatile as both a perfect vocalist’s performance monitor, as well as for the music-loving audiophile. The design for the high-frequency range came to accommodate the comfort of long listening sessions. Imagined as a stage monitoring device, we had to maintain the high level of detail and airy atmosphere in the S5, but also make it suitable for long performances. We analyzed the frequency points that cause the most fatigue, and have accurately tuned these areas to provide the best listening experience, without cutting back on the details. The S5 boasts a wide soundstage and a natural balanced tuning that highlights its high-resolution and imaging capabilities. Hence, we recommend the S5 for all musicians and studio professionals. As an added bonus, we have newly integrated a tuning switch into our crossover system to allow users to switch between a more professional sound, and a musical sound.
