About tuning

"X" as the 10th anniversary of the establishment of TSMR is a collection of years of technical accumulation, we continue to learn from experience, countless fine tuning, ten years of grinding a sword, through this work, complete self-breakthrough, and interpretation of our new understanding of sound.

The film slow pressure driver creates a more comfortable and relaxed listening feeling, which not only expands the sound field, but also makes the overall sound more natural and smooth, and the bass is more flexible.

Hollow coaxial structure dual dynamic driver, the rear driver through the hollow’s hole complete sounding, and produce a certain push-pull force on the front driver, not only to ensure sufficient energy, but also to provide a richer sense of layer, so that the quality and quantity of low frequency are greatly improved.

Using more efficient filtering technology, the background sound is cleaner, the mid-frequency vocal is clear and pleasant, the spatial stratification and positioning are clearer, and the high frequency is smooth and non-irritating.

Driver configuration

One side with 7 drivers, both sides total 14 drivers

Low frequency: 2 x 8mm strong magnet dynamic, hollow coaxial structure, Carbon mixed diaphragm

Mid frequency: 2 x Knowles balanced armature

High frequency: 2 x Sonion balanced armature

Full frequency effect: 1 x custom film retarding driver (this driver is detachable design, frequent disassembly is not recommended)

Low frequency control switch settings

Default standard tuning mode is 020, recommended to use this mode as a reference.If you do not want to use the bass tuning function, please ignore the tuning switches to use standard mode all the time.

20 x frequency division elements on both sides make the accurate and scientific tuning.

Bass enhancement (100 Mode), control factor: 0.51

Standard tuning (020 Mode), control factor: 1.0

Low frequency attenuation (003 Mode), control factor: 1.47

*The higher the control factor, the lower the low frequency energy.

*All switches are turned off to NO BASS mode.

*0 indicates that the switch is closed downward, and 1/2/3 indicates that the switch is opened upward.

Here is the graph of TSMR X , it's for reference only and does not represent the sound of the IEM
Green is 100 Bass mode, Blue is 020 mode.

To me this is a great set! Bassy smooth set to my ears. I have no problems with the 2.7K peak! They sound smoother than that to me. Should satisfy bassheads also.

Hmmm…. That 2.7K peak worries me a little. Mine will be here on Monday and I’ll hopefully not be bothered by it…

This appears to be similar to ADEL/APEX tech. Blue response looks very good but folks should be aware that isolation will suffer. Likely something like 18db.
instead of 26db.

I suspect that the upper mids are not elevated enough overall for that to be a big deal. If they have good timing/phase and bass character etc, should be a VG device.

(From the TSMR impressions thread)

Very, very, very initial impression of the X… this one is pretty nice, the bass is really strong, the 2.7Khz peak may not be real (or at least as impactful as the graph would indicate), and the vocals may be a bit recessed due to the prominent bass…

I also received the Pula Pau2 at the same time… interesting shootout between them for me, at least.

I know people get bent out of shape if impressions don’t match what they believe (I learned that the hard way on the Penon thread sharing my impressions of the Quattro and how it compared to the Penon 10th) so I won’t share very much here because, well, life’s too short for that kind of grief. But I will say the TSMR X is pleasant and nothing makes me regret the purchase, at least on first listen.

People will be people. I don’t understand how some people think we all hear identical and have the same preferences? Got the X last week. Agree with your early impressions. Like it a lot, though the bass is a bit above my preference. Wonder if all switches off actually cuts the DD’s out completely? Sounds like it. I use it with switches off off on. Pulls the bass a little back.

If it's lowest position is a bit bass light, you could always try blocking the Adel type vent and you may get some back.

I actually tried that out of curiosity, it doesn’t do much I think. I genuinely think DDs is turned off with all switches down, and the BAs probably has some sort of hipass filtering. (Or are just lower bass output drivers).
