Introducing Triton: the latest innovation from Empire Ear

This marvel seamlessly blends classic Empire Ears craftsmanship with an all-new tribrid, dual conduction architecture. Equipped with our signature W9+ subwoofer, the precision-engineered EMP75 balanced armature, and next-generation dual high-mass bone conductors, this setup was meticulously crafted to provide a rich, immersive, and distinctively bold Empire Ears sound that has defined the industry over the past decade and continues to set new standards.

Past, Present, and Future

Triton proudly boasts the Trident symbol on the left IEM, representing the three phases of creation: the past, present, and future. This emblem not only signifies our journey and evolution but also our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in audio excellence. Past – Paying homage to the Olympus series, Triton is our first IEM since that series to reference this theme, reminding us of our roots and storied past. Present – Triton features a variation of the Valkyrie’s Dragonhide faceplate and the Legend X’s compact, comfortable shell. Our recent offerings, packed with advanced drivers and technology, have often compromised on size and ergonomics. Triton breaks this trend, achieving an optimal balance between fit and performance. Future – Representing a new phase for Empire Ears, Triton aims to be competitive beyond just the flagship tier. True to our commitment to excellence, Triton delivers extraordinary sound through an innovative tribrid configuration. It replaces the W10 with a new dual mass bone conductor, dual balanced armatures, and our signature W9+.

Tribrid Design

W9+ Subwoofer

The heart of Triton’s seismic bass response is our custom-designed 9mm W9+ subwoofer. This dedicated low-frequency dynamic driver delivers thunderous power and unmatched control, laying the foundation for a legendary bass experience.

EMP75 Precision Balanced Armature

Tasked with reproducing the critical mid-range frequencies are our bespoke balanced armature drivers, engineered in collaboration with industry leaders Knowles and Sonion. Their unique design and singular focus render a captivating and pure mid-range that truly brings music to life.

Dual High Mass Bone Conductors

At the vanguard of acoustic innovation, these state-of-the-art drivers redefine immersive sound by harnessing the power of bone conduction technology. Engineered for unparalleled imaging, the Dual High Mass Bone Conductors excel in capturing intricate nuances and delivering a rich, detailed timbre that resonates deep within the listener. This breakthrough in sound delivery not only amplifies the depth and clarity of music but also envelops the listener in a profoundly immersive sonic journey.

Technologies

Dual Conduction Architecture (DCA)

At the heart of Empire Ears' relentless pursuit of excellence lies a dedication to pushing the boundaries of in-ear monitor technology. This unwavering commitment led to the creation of Dual Conduction Architecture (DCA), a revolutionary approach that harmonizes air and bone conduction.

Triton, our latest innovation, masterfully integrates this groundbreaking design, enhancing both the auditory and tactile elements of music. This fusion delivers an extraordinary listening experience, ensuring that every note resonates with unparalleled clarity and emotional depth, embodying the essence of Empire Ears' legacy of innovation.

Empire Ears Triton Universal In-Ear Monitor Dual Air and Bone Conduction

synX

Distinctively engineered to surpass the conventional boundaries of the IEM world, TRITON features Empire Ears’ exceptional synX crossover network. This unparalleled technology, protected by bespoke methods, ensures a harmonious blend of three distinct driver technologies, orchestrating them into a symphony of sound.

Through the proprietary multi-point synX crossover network, every component is optimized to its full potential, delivering an auditory experience that is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Resonance Manipulation

In sculpting TRITON, we've refined our ARC (Anti-Resonance Control) technology to target key internal components. This enhanced approach mitigates unwanted vibrations and resonance, creating an auditory landscape that is distinctly Empire in its elegance. The deliberate integration of ARC not only enhances bone conduction capabilities but also exemplifies our commitment to merging unparalleled sound clarity with sophisticated design for an audio experience that transcends expectations.

Ventilation Mastery

TRITON’s acoustic architecture, particularly due to the Dual High Mass Bone Conductors, necessitated a precise approach to air volume and exhaust design. Fine-tuning the enclosure’s ventilation was critical, as minute adjustments in vent diameter and placement profoundly influenced sound quality and performance. Through meticulous calibration of the vented drivers' volume requirements, we've unlocked its full potential, optimizing the output and maximizing the auditory experience. This precision ensures TRITON delivers unparalleled sound fidelity, demonstrating our commitment to acoustic perfection.
