3 Hybrid Drivers for a Comprehensive Sound
The Forteza features a hybrid design utilizing 1 High-Mid balanced armature (BA) + 10mm Mid-range dynamic driver (DD) + 10mm Bass DD. This 1BA + 10mm DD + 10mm DD combination fulfills a full sound from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Furthermore, the utilization of 2 different dynamic drivers in combination with a BA driver provides significant enhancement in the sound texture and timbre.
Rich Sound Signature
The Forteza features a three-way passive crossover system that is tuned for a rich and lush sound signature. The bass response is thick, with impactful punches. With a slower decay, the bass is more textured and rumbly, making bass guitar lines truly shine. The mids have also been tuned to be more colored and warm, providing thicker bodies to vocals and instruments. These characteristics make the Forteza excellent for people who want to enjoy a fuller sound, rather than a flat and neutral sound signature. The treble response is carefully paired to match the lows and mids, to prevent a dull or dark sound signature. The treble response closely matches target preference curvatures, with crisp articulations and full microdetail retrieval.
In-House Drivers
The Forteza features our tried and true in-house drivers for a high quality sound. Using drivers that have succeeded in our previous models, the combination of these drivers ensures maximization in both efficiency and quality. For instance, our composite 10mm dynamic driver system provides excellent bass response thanks to its intricate diaphragm composition, as well as driver size. By layering the 10mm DD with an additional 10mm low-mid DD, the low frequency range is textured with excellent imaging capabilities. Additionally, our single BA driver has been tested to excel in SPL to THD ratios across its frequency range, with great tonal characteristics. By using in-house drivers, we can ensure optimal technical and tonal performance based on our direct implementation.
Detachable Cable
The Forteza comes standard with a detachable cable featuring 0.78mm 2pin connectors. The cable can be swapped with other cables to customize your experience, as well as extend the longevity of the IEM.
