So one thing I noticed on the C16 that’s interesting...it has that little white 3D printed piece, that acts as both a mount for the drivers as well as a sound tuning chamber.




Well, it has 2 small holes and 1 large hole. They’re acting like the vinyl tubing used in most multi-BA IEMs.

Anyways, one would assume that the large sound passage is for the bass drivers (since they’re larger and move more air). But the large hole is used by the high frequency drivers.

They can tune the sound using these passageways. So if they wanted more bass, they could make the bass passageway larger. But that has to be done in the actual design of that piece. It’s not something we can tweak on our end :frowning2:
Is that a diagram of the AS16? The HF BA is not a 30095 as in the C16 but a 31736.

Yes, that diagram was from the A16. The diaphragm from the C16 marketing is not accurately drawn (I think they borrowed the graphic from another IEM model).

I was using it to show the 3D printed piece, not the model of drivers used.

So the zs10 has bigger, wider and better soundstage than the zs5v1 ?

For me, yes. The ZS5v1 may have a bit more "air", subjectively speaking, but I think it is due to the ZS5v1 being more v shaped. I personally find the ZS10 to be more musical and engaging. I will be curious to see how the CCA C16 compares once I receive them, in a month or so...

I'm all like "oh yes give me 100 BA's a side" but I'm not thinking about this new one (AS16) at all for some reason. The reason being, I think, is the KS10 Pro! I had in my ears for like 2 days right off the bat. I was listening to music and not an iem......do you guys follow me.....this KS10 Pro has me tickled pink and gives me zero reason right now to look at anything else.
Am I alone in that or do some of you feel sorta the same way??

what is this KS10 pro?
