Back then, people didn’t know that earphones wires can be changed.
By then more wires are available, people realise there’s a lot of fun in it.
Nowadays, people prefer high-end earphones with changeable wire.
Revolution comes fast, here are the earphones with a tuning knob!
There are a lot of enquiries to LEAR’s tuning knob, but are not sure about its use. Therefore, Tatco has provided this demo for you all.
The tuning knob idea comes from Sennheiser IE8 & IE80’s manual bass response tuning function. Similar design can be found in ASG 2 & 2.5, which makes earphones more personal.
The benefit of the tuning knob is that it doesn’t affect the earphone’s electrical characteristics such as impedance, or sensitivity , etc.
However, its complex structure, low stability, and difficulty in installing would result in a difference between the two ends of the earphones.
Since 2012, Tatco has been researching on the design (patent pending) in which the first LEAR BD4.2 with a tuning knob design based on a variable resistor has been released in 2014 (http://www.lear-eshop.com/products/55575cd9e37ec6ae2a000015).
The benefit of using a variable resistor is its stability and variety on the design. The design can be applied into any earphones, resulting a series of different tuning.
Most importantly, LEAR’s design does not limit to a single tuning knob but over one knob when needed.
Undoubtedly, the variable resistor would affect the impedance and sensitivity of the earphones. However, this can be avoided with calculations and design.
Recently, we have popularised the design on reshelling earphones, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of personalised characteristics of tuning knob.
Some might think that the additional fee for a tuning knob is a lot, but it ain’t much when you think of the cost compared with a new cable!
This a more cost effective way to tune a pair of earphones than having another pair of cable! Ain’t this solution too good to be true?
Earphones are better with personalisation!
