How did TERRA begin?
"As a young, adventurous lad, I wanted nothing more than to travel and explore the world. I also had a very strong inclination to play bass guitar. I guess Terra came from a deeper reflection between the two. As a bass player, I have a booming, powerful instrument in my hand, but the bass is a very supportive instrument.
It is an instrument that takes music into a completely different dimension. I loved the communal aspect of traveling in a band, the communal
aspect that the bass requires. This defined the contours of Terra for me.
An IEM that combines two sounds - one that I created myself, the LimeEars house sound, and another that is loved by most people, the Harman sound, for the beauty of music should be shared." -- Emil Stolecki, Founder & CEO of Lime Ears
Topic
In mythology, Terra stands for land. Land that feeds us. Country that supports us. Just as a good pair of IEMs is necessary for every audiophile, land is necessary for our existence.
But Terra also has metaphysical connotations. In Roman mythology, Terra Mater is the ancient Roman goddess of the earth, which literally means "Mother Earth". A physical personification that codifies the vast land area we live on in terms that human cognition can process.
Terra, however, was later also embodied in Latin by the expression "Terra Ignota". Expression "Terra Ignota". Here we see a clear difference between the land we know, the lands we know that graciously support life on Earth, and the unknown lands, the dangerous unexplored lands that symbolized limitless potential.
Sound
The historical odyssey you have just embarked on is your orientation to the very essence of Terra. This is where Terra begins for us and what we hope to achieve with Terra.
We start with lands that are familiar to us. The friendly soundscape. The Harman Sound. With raw doses of power, resonance and space. Terra brings
punchy and organic bass with fresh highs, offering an invigorating, improved version of the beloved Harman curve.
With breathtaking extensions, Terra dominates the soundstage of your favorite songs, luring you with seductive highs that reverberate in the soundstage and deliver precise, powerful sound packages. Terra draws on the human desire for exploration and victory. After expansion and conquest.
Terra also draws on the unexplored soundscape itself. Its raw, unbridled potential. Terra is the victorious conquest of this slumbering soundscape. Terra brings the thrill of a dopamine rush right to your ears and makes you feel like a champion.
Aesthetics
Terra's pride is not just its acoustic splendor. At first glance, Terra comes in a lush, earthy-green gemstone shell. A figure of natural fullness. Just as nature shows nature's mastery of the elements, Terra shows mastery of the highs, mids and lows. With trembling lows, surging mids and airy highs, Terra's gemstone landscape captures the benevolence of Terra Mater.
A closer look reveals the treacherous terra incognita. Their menacing ferocity is embodied in their bright, vicious reds.Reminiscent of the deep ruby petals of a rose and its rough thorns and the piercing maroon pattern of a black widow, the terror of Terra rears its ugly head.
Terra's sound world delves deep into the oceanic abyss of sound that conveys the rush of the hunt. As you stare into the abyss, every song you hear with Terra will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more.
Description of the product
In mythology, Terra is a living, personified being charged with risks and endless possibilities. TERRA also reflects the relationships between our conscious and subconscious. The known and unknown countries.
Polymer Impregnated Synthetic Opal (PISO), a multi-colored crystalline Bello opal used on Terra, enhances the nature we are familiar with and exceeds expectations with a colorful, psychedelic gemstone landscape - a reconceptualization of the unknown.
TERRA relies on the booming energy and excitement of discovery. Using our TiTE TM module, state-of-the-art HERO TM super tweeter and VariBore TM acoustic design, TERRA extracts the bold spirit of adventure and gives the famous Harman sound a unique Lime Ears touch. Feel the quivering beauty of the fresh highs and organic lows.
Prepare for adventure with the graceful, natural power of
TERRA. Explore the unexplored.
TiTE TM module
Titanium Tonal Energy Module - Terra is based on the solid, herculean strength and power delivered by our flagship, the ANIMA. By using the dynamic titanium driver, also known in the ANIMA, Terra offers powerful and organic sounding bass that highlights a unique realism, the LimeEars.
The Titanium Dynamic Driver - Compared to the typical Mylar or fringe metals used to make the diaphragms of dynamic drivers on the market, these are heavier and stiffer. This additional weight and increased rigidity provides a powerful, organic sound, an enhanced listening experience for the Harman sound.
The TiTE TM module brings out the timbre of every note and sends waves of resonance directly into your ears, giving your music tracks a strong, warm glow.
HERO™ Super tweeter
High efficiency and high resolution - It is known that heroes always come to save the day. With the HERO™ Super Tweeter we have succeeded in raising the treble performance to new heights.
This new generation 2023 Knowles RAU Balanced Armature driver offers an
expanded high-frequency performance, providing higher power and resolution without a transformer or high-voltage amplifier.
It covers a range of up to 25 kHz. This is twice the extension compared to other BA drivers which roll off at 12kHz. The greater efficiency is reflected in the significantly increased high-frequency reproduction at a much lower volume compared to our previous electrostatic drivers.
Our new HERO™ super tweeter features an innovative slot design instead of the traditional grommet. Precisely positioned at the tip of the nozzle, this advanced linear acoustic directional firing mechanism emulates the performance of an advanced ribbon tweeter* found in professional home speakers, delivering high frequency performance that is unparalleled and crisp.
*(Ribbon tweeters and their wide sound dispersion provide extended high-frequency range, faster transient response, low distortion, natural sound and improved efficiency).
VariBore TM acoustic design
Variable Bores - During our research, we discovered that the bore diameter plays a crucial role in controlling different frequencies. By carefully designing holes with different diameters, we are able to optimize the transmission of different frequencies with increased precision.
This effect is particularly pronounced at higher frequencies, where the increased diameter significantly reduces air friction and minimizes resonance influences.
The result is a significant improvement in the upper frequency range, which results in
This leads to an improved treble range and a significantly smoother, more authentic reproduction of high frequencies.
SAAS core
The sturdy, 5-axis aircraft-grade aluminum that houses this powerful
machine takes its durability to the extreme. Made from the same material that aircraft wings are made of, this aluminum is lightweight yet durable, allowing for ergonomic comfort and reducing fatigue when carrying.
The durability independently and unyieldingly supports the TERRA's sound production and allows for optimizations that allow us to use a heavier titanium driver while keeping the IEM light!
