A decade full of innovations
"As we approach the celebration of Empire Ears' tenth anniversary, we look back on a journey marked by remarkable achievements. Our story goes beyond technical excellence, extensive specifications or stunning aesthetics; it's about the heart and soul that drives our relentless pursuit of the extraordinary.
From the beginning, Empire Ears wasn't just a business venture - it was a tribute to my father's unwavering passion for music. His obsession with capturing the raw emotion, power and intensity of every note was the cornerstone of everything we do.
Triton is a testament to our heritage of precision and innovation. Every facet of its design, both inside and out, has been carefully crafted to deliver a breathtakingly emotional listening experience. Our relentless pursuit of the exceptional leaves no detail overlooked, making Triton an in-ear monitor in a class of its own."
Jack Vang, Vice President Empire Ears
Triton
Introducing Triton: the latest innovation from Empire Ears. This marvel seamlessly combines classic Empire Ears craftsmanship with an all-new Tribrid dual-conductor architecture.
Equipped with our signatureW9 + subwoofer, precision-engineered EMP75 Balanced Armature, and next-generation dual high-mass bone conductors, this setup has been carefully engineered to deliver a rich, immersive, and distinctive Empire Ears sound that has defined the industry for the past decade and continues to set new standards.
The Trident
Triton is proud of the trident symbol on the left IEM, which represents the three phases of creation: the past, the present and the future. This emblem represents not only our journey and evolution, but also our commitment to continually push the boundaries of what is possible in audio engineering.
Past
As a tribute to the Olympus series, the Triton is our first IEM since that series to reference this theme and remind us of our roots and our storied past.
Present
The Triton features a variation of the Valkyrie's Dragonhide front panel and the Legend X's compact, comfortable chassis. Our recent offerings, packed with advanced drivers and technologies, have often compromised on size and ergonomics. The Triton breaks that trend, striking an optimal balance between fit and performance.
Future
The Triton represents a new phase for Empire Ears and aims to be competitive beyond the flagship class. True to our commitment to excellence, Triton delivers exceptional sound through an innovative tribrid configuration. It replaces theW10 through a new dual-mass bone conductor, two balanced armatures and our signatureW9 +.
Tribrid Design
W9 + Subwoofer
At the heart of Triton’s seismic bass response is our specially developed 9 mmW9 + Subwoofers.This special dynamic woofer delivers thunderous power and unmatched control, laying the foundation for a legendary bass experience.
EMP75 Precision Balanced Armature
Reproducing the critical mid-range frequencies is our bespoke balanced armature drivers, developed in collaboration with industry leaders Knowles and Sonion. Their unique design and focus deliver a captivating and pure midrange that really brings the music to life.
Dual High Mass Bone Conductors
At the forefront of acoustic innovation, these cutting-edge drivers redefine immersive sound by harnessing the power of bone conduction technology.
Designed for unparalleled sound reproduction, the Dual High Mass Bone Conductors excel at capturing the finest nuances and delivering a rich, detailed timbre that resonates deep within the listener. This breakthrough in sound reproduction not only enhances the depth and clarity of the music, but also envelops the listener in a profound sound journey.
Dual Conduction Architecture (DCA)
At the heart of Empire Ears' relentless pursuit of excellence is the desire to push the boundaries of in-ear monitor technology. This relentless commitment led to the development of Dual Conduction Architecture (DCA), a revolutionary approach that balances air and bone conduction.
Triton, our latest innovation, masterfully integrates this groundbreaking design, enhancing both the auditory and tactile elements of music. This fusion creates an exceptional listening experience
The TRITON delivers an unparalleled listening experience where every note resonates with unparalleled clarity and emotional depth, embodying the essence of Empire Ears' innovative legacy.
synX
Designed to push the conventional boundaries of the IEM world, the TRITON features Empire Ears' exceptional synX crossover network. This unparalleled technology, protected by bespoke methods, creates a harmonious blend of three different driver technologies and orchestrates them into a symphony of sound.
The company's proprietary synX crossover network optimizes each component to its full potential, creating a listening experience that is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Resonance manipulation
In developing the TRITON, we refined our ARC (Anti-Resonance Control) technology to provide targeted control of key internal components. This improved approach mitigates unwanted vibrations and resonances, creating a soundscape that is unmistakably Empire in its elegance.
The deliberate integration of ARC not only enhances bone conduction capabilities, but also exemplifies our commitment to combining unparalleled sound clarity with sophisticated design for a sound experience that exceeds all expectations.
Masterful ventilation
The acoustic architecture of the TRITON, particularly due to the Dual High Mass Bone Conductors, required a precise approach to air volume and exhaust design.Fine-tuning the enclosure's ventilation was crucial, as tiny adjustments to vent diameter and placement significantly impact sound quality and performance.
By carefully calibrating the volume requirements of the vented drivers, we have unlocked their full potential, optimizing performance and maximizing the listening experience. This precision ensures that TRITON delivers unparalleled sound fidelity and demonstrates our commitment to acoustic perfection.
Monarch Cable
In our relentless pursuit of exceptional sound, our founder and engineer Dean Vang leaves no stone unturned. Monarch is a testament to that commitment and marks Empire Ears' debut into the world of high-end audio cables.
This carefully crafted cable allows you to experience Triton exactly as Dean intended. Each Triton Launch Edition is accompanied by this ultra-exclusive cable, featuring Triton-specific hardware and offering a glimpse into the future of IEM cable excellence even before the official release.
