Hey All!

We're so excited to finally announce the release of the latest evolution of our hybrid-design IEM line: Clara.

Clara is the product of a close collaboration between musician, audiophile (and head-fier), and long-time friend of Campfire, Alessandro Cortini, aka @slumberman, and lead engineer & founder of Campfire, Ken Ball. Ken and Alessandro have long connected through a shared love of art and music, and Clara reflects their shared philosophy and unique outlooks alike.

Clara features our newest iteration of our popular Dual-Magnet Dynamic Driver, with a new bio-cellulose diaphragm. Dedicated to the low-end, this driver is carefully implemented to provide a refined yet impactful bass response.

Targeting the mid-frequencies, is the latest in balanced armature technology in the form of a dual-diaphragm balanced armature, which creates richer sonic output and lower THD. Paired with our new Clear Wave tuning element, mids are emotive and detailed.

Upper registers are handled with precision, clarity, and an overall sense of smoothness with two high-frequency super-tweeters and our patented TAEC tuning chamber.

Clara's exterior features a precision-printed resin shell that is polished and transparent. It has its internal chambers and elements dyed a beautiful shade of blue, revealing the drivers and inner-workings. Clara is capped with black PVD stainless steel lid and spout assembly.

Clara also comes equipped with one of our most premium accessory packages to date, and includes an ABS hardshell touring case, a new mini dimensional leather folding case, breezy bag jr. and micro in charcoal gray, two Time Stream Duet (3.5, 4.4), a Pilot 3.5mm portable DAC, microfiber cleaning cloth, and an assortment of ear tips - foam (S, M, L) silicone (S, M, L) Final Type-E (S, SM, M, ML, L)

Finally, Clara will feature a special launch edition of 50 total units in a 3D printed titanium shell. This iteration comes with an upgrade to out Time Stream Ultra 4.4 cable and a Pilot II 4.4 DAC.

Agreed. I love how you can see the internals

What is TI in Clara Ti - $2999?

Titanium!

Usually shell material can completely change internal acoustics, and people have mentioned the titanium model sounds more refined.

Thanks and wow, thats a hefty premium for Titanium. Looking forward for the first reviews than, if the TI is a lot different.

Hey all! Clara pre-sale is now live. Titanium units will start shipping fairly soon, and the base model will follow shortly after.

I realize I didn't share any photos of the Ti version:

The shell is solid, 3D printed Titanium, so it has a bit more weight to it than the base model, though I still find both to be quite comfortable. Ti will also come with our Time Stream Ultra 4.4 upgrade cable along with a Pilot II 4.4 portable DAC.

I was curious about the tuning differences between the Clara and the Dark Star.

Dark Star looks neutral-dark while the Clara looks soft downward W. (Dark Star top / Clara bottom)

I found the Dark Star tuning to be not that as engaging as campfires other offerings

Congrats! The Clara was one of my highlights from SoCal.

 

[musiland]

Looks gorgeous, can’t wait to see any reviews!

 

[Mcleenx]

Both versions of the Claras look great!

@CFA Chris, could you please tell us if the clear version sounds different than the Titanium finish or if it is just a cosmetic finish?

WOW?!?! These are some Oriolus Tralily-yo prices....

 

[OnlySoMany]

It'd be cool of you could get it without all the extras, as then it would be much less expensive. Most will already have cables and a dac.
