Empire Ears Push The Envelope With Their All-New Quadbrid Flagship IEM - The Raven

Empire Ears introduces the Raven, a flagship in-ear monitor featuring a sophisticated 12-driver Quadbrid design and elegant 316L stainless steel faceplates. Drawing from the success of Odin and Odyssey, Raven showcases cutting-edge audio technology, including patented synX dispersion and the innovative H.R.C. harmonic resonance core structure, to create an impeccable acoustic stage. Handcrafted in the USA, the Raven delivers a forward-thinking audio experience, offering a unique interpretation of the original sound with unparalleled precision and craftsmanship.

Embedded With A Complex Quadbrid Driver Array For Clean Sound

The Empire Ears Raven boasts a meticulously crafted "Quadbrid" driver configuration, featuring Empire Ears' Weapon X bone conduction unit, dual Weapon 9+ ultra-low-frequency dynamic drivers, five custom Knowles and Sonion balanced armature drivers, and four upgraded Sonion ultra-high-frequency electrostatic drivers. To ensure superior sound quality, these driver units are produced in small batches by specialised manufacturers, showcasing Empire Ears' dedication to excellence.

Expertly Tuned To Deliver A Highly Engaging Listening Experience

The Empire Ears Raven is meticulously tuned for a bright, clear sound with remarkable transparency and a wealth of detail. Its expansive soundstage offers a strong sense of depth, and its finely woven sonic texture enhances separation, transients, and micro-dynamics, placing it in the top tier for versatility across genres. The highs are luminous yet refined, with an elegant sheen, while the bass delivers depth and layering without overwhelming the low-end. This allows for a rich, textured experience, especially in instruments like drums and double basses, making the Raven equally captivating for classical, rock, or pop music.

Sporting A Industrial Grade 316L Stainless Steel Faceplate

For the first time, Empire Ears has incorporated industrial-grade 316L stainless steel faceplates into the Raven. These faceplates are precisely CNC-cut and undergo a vacuum metal vaporisation process to form a durable PVD coating, followed by meticulous hand-polishing. Beyond their striking appearance, these high-density, rigid faceplates significantly reduce distortion caused by driver resonance. This design enhances synergy with other components and cavity structures, allowing the Weapon X bone conduction unit to deliver clean, detailed sound imaging across the entire frequency spectrum, with a profound sense of depth.

Harmonic Resonance Core Tech For Unmatched Audio Reproduction

The Raven represents Empire Ears' groundbreaking entry into metallurgy, marking a pivotal advancement in sonic excellence. The incorporation of a 316L stainless steel faceplate is more than an aesthetic choice; it's key to enhancing the performance of the W10 bone conductor. This steel plate not only optimises resonance and sound dispersion but also works in synergy with the Harmonic Resonance Core (HRC), a purpose-built polymer acoustic stage situated between the shell and the plate. This intricate design amplifies vibrations, enriching bass and treble with unmatched depth, extension, and clarity, redefining the summit-fi segment. The Raven goes beyond traditional IEM technology, taking a bold step towards the future of in-ear monitor excellence.

The Raven goes beyond traditional IEM technology, taking a bold step towards the future of in-ear monitor excellence.

Optimal Timing, Phase Coherency And Control With EIVEC MKII Tech

The EIVEC MKII engine in the Raven was developed to achieve precise timing, phasing, and control between the electrostatic and bone conductor drivers - a groundbreaking feat. Empire Intelligent Variable Electrostatic Control (EIVEC) represents Empire Ear's approach to seamlessly integrating electrostatic EST drivers into IEMs. While electrostatic drivers offer exceptional range and resolution, they are notoriously difficult to manage and can often overpower other drivers. EIVEC addresses this challenge by providing such precise control that the electrostatics can operate independently, handling different tasks within the sound stage to deliver unparalleled layers of detail and texture.

No More Unwanted Vibrations And Flex With ARC Technology

In their pursuit of perfection with Raven, Empire Ears has masterfully reimagined the use of their renowned ARC (Anti-Resonance Control) technology. Originally applied to the chassis, ARC - a proprietary conformal coating - now extends to critical internal components, working in harmony with the Harmonic Resonance Core (HRC) to virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations and resonance. This innovation refines and enhances the sound, delivering an audio experience marked by unparalleled purity and depth. The synergy between ARC and HRC exemplifies Empire Ears' relentless drive for innovation, achieving a new level of sound quality that feels revolutionary and quintessentially Empire.

Features synX Crossover Network And Dual Tri-Port Exhausts

Empire Ears' synX crossover network sets itself apart from the IEM world with its unique blend of bespoke technologies. This proprietary multi-point crossover expertly harmonises four distinct driver technologies, ensuring peak performance from all 12 drivers in the Raven. Given the W10’s extreme output, precise tuning of the enclosure’s air volume and vent design was critical, as even minor adjustments significantly impacted sound quality. To address this, the Raven incorporates Dual Tri-Port Exhausts, allowing us to optimise the W10’s performance and fully realise its potential.

Conscientiously Designed, Engineered And Handcrafted In The USA

A select team of Empire's master artisans meticulously handcrafts each Raven at the advanced facility in Atlanta, Georgia. The creation of each pair involves a detailed process, where one technician and engineer oversee ten intricate stages, dedicating 9 hours of careful attention to every set.

Raven embodies the peak of Empire's technological innovation and relentless pursuit of excellence. Its exceptional performance and exclusive design make it a highly sought-after treasure among discerning professionals and audio aficionados.

Bundled With 7th Anniversary PW Audio R7 Cable For Audio Transmission

Empire Ears, in collaboration with PW Audio, has created the exclusive "R7" cable for the Raven, marking the brand's seventh anniversary and its seventh iteration. This cable features a dual-conductor single-crystal copper structure, with 26 AWG 4-core conductors and 25 AWG outer layers, designed to maximize the Raven's performance. The splitter and connectors are adorned with rhodium-plated 4.4mm balanced plugs and sleek velvet black metal sleeves for added elegance and durability.
