Penon replied to me and said they don’t have a graph available.

That’s a real shame, as I’m very interested in purchasing the set. But without seeing a graph first, there’s just no way I’m going to pull the trigger.

Yeah, that’s a no go for me for now. If I am not mistaken, I think @Dsnuts does graph IEMs and since he has the X and obviously he thinks very highly of it, maybe he will graph it for us.

well you sold me, my first iem purchase since covid began. and also my highest driver count iem ever. current nicest iems are yanyin aladdin

 

[BrokenHill]

I have pulled the trigger too. I think I have to sell the ones I don't use as much... but each one has their own thing.

 

[LostControl85]

Sold out! That was quick

 

[Danx3k]

Surprised so many ppl blindly purchased without any graphs.

But the good news for me is, I can wait for other impressions and hopefully someone will measure it.

TSMR-X is live on Penon Audio:

Thanks,

Checked and they're already sold out! most likely not to much inventory.

if you can bring a better light in comparison to Penon's 10AE @Dsnuts to see if they are worth getting

That's a good point. Aldought I've never pay to much attention to the graphs...

Left brain vs right brain. Left brain likes graphs, charts, specs, measurements...right brain likes listening, adjectives, descriptions, stories and zen. Both together make our reality. Just my way of looking at it.

Can someone explain what the “film retarding driver”. is or does?

Whilst they're not definitive, I can get a good idea if I'm going to like the tuning or not from the graph.

It seems to do several things. Its a more effective venting mechanism for IEMs that seem to enhance the tuning for IEMs. From how I understand it. Tansio might have taken some inspiration from 64Audio IEMS as they use a very similar venting mechanism. But Tansios goes a a few step furter it seems. It seems to work with all the drivers inside the TSMR-X for 1) No pressure build up. I know some folks have issue with this from multi driver IEMs. 2) Gives plenty of air for the bass dual coaxial bass drivers to breathe. Shows in how potent the bass can get. 3) Gives air to all 3 bands of the sound. An all closed BA set will not have the same type of airy sound signature of the TSMR-X. At least I have not experienced it. Higher end IEMs do but thats because they are using like crazy 12-14BAs which makes up for the air it has. It seems to be a very effective venting mechanism and takes up a sound tube from the 4 tubes in the nozzle so it is most definitely a part of how it was designed.

Congrats to the folks that jumped on an early set. Even if Penon runs out I am certian they are frantically making more. Lol. I knew it would sell quick, just had a feeling.
These are substantial. Tansio Mirai will not call these 10th anniversary for no reason. You guys will see what I mean.

Is there a diagram to show how the 'film retarding driver' works. I'm scientifically baffled.

On the Tansio Mirai site

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

I still have no idea!
