We are proud to present Europa, our second collaboration with Elise. ​

Building upon the acclaimed Crimson platform, Europa is refined, technical and punchy.​

With Europa, we decided to go with a slightly reduced treble response. This said, Europa retains the special extension that enhances detail, staging and separation. The result is a natural signature that does not compromise on detail.

In order to complement the sound signature, Europa comes with the newly designed "Dark Matter" cable. The cable is composed of 7N OCC copper and has been tuned to bring the best out of Europa.

​

FLAT + PHAT​

Featuring a combination of our finest technologies, the Europa boasts a fusion of both PHAT and FLAT advancements.

With PHAT technology ensuring no unnecessary frequency inversions or phase cancellation and FLAT technology ensuring low impedance and immunity from impedance mismatch - the Europa is ready to take on any challenge thrown it's way.

Say Forged Carbon?​

The EUROPA boasts a new color scheme and a premium forged carbon faceplate that pays homage to our brand's origins and resilience.

This material composite has graced the works of award-winning jewelry, watch, and luxury vehicles. Due to the material's inherent nature, each faceplate is a unique masterpiece, ensuring no two sets are the same.

Given the Crimson's status, it's only fitting that this distinctive and premium material finds its place within the design.

I understand the reason behind the change of colours but why this? The crimson colors are so sexy!

The Crimson colorway is nice but I kinda dig the Europa colors too, especially with the Dark Matter cable. Looks really classy.

for what's it worth, crimson shouldn't be going anywhere. Crimson and Europa would exist side by side, just that the first run of Europa will be limited to 50 units.

Ok but they changed the fr based on customers feedbacks. The Europa has better frequency response.

I was hoping for a Titan with smoother treble

 

[alexwalec78]

Good luck guys! I love Crimson for its crispy highs so probably Europa won’t be my goal but I see mamy others who will love that kind of tuning

Nice

We want every release to be differentiating, so they can be easily picked out from a line.

There was enough change in this release to warrant a new colorway.

Nice

Thanks mate!

Thanks for sharing - this is true! The first run will be limited to 50 and then future runs will be by demand.

Better is subjectiveto the listener

Who knows what's coming down in the future!

Thanks so much! Glad you're loving your Crimson.

Does this version fix the pressure buildup due to lack of air vent in Crimson (that tiny hole most IEMs have)?

 

[Khumbaba]

Better is subjectiveto the listener

And you are correct. I paste some impressions by "Zaghamkarim" from the canjam:

Symphonium Crimson: I enjoyed this more than the MK3, though the bass wasn't as punchy/ meaty, it was more cleaner, the actual size is quite compact (was a snug fit) and more to by taste. Potential purchase from my side - really strikes home to my preferred sound & a solid performer.
Symphonium Europa: Same driver config as the Crimson - 4BA, smoother in the treble, slighltly more emphasised vocals. But I preferred the sparkle of the Crimson.

Unlikely, given the driver array is—afaik—the same as Crimson's (4BA).

If they introduced significant venting on Europa, the bass would likely diminish in magnitude/extension due to using BAs for bass—but this does not seem to be the case, given their measurements.

loved the Crimson but the Europa is just plain better to me. Same clean and extended bass with treble that can be listened to for longs hours without fatigue with poor mastering

Europa to me was more natural - akin to HSE treble presentation. Crimson is more exciting and has a more U shaped tuning.
