Nio

Nine Driver Universal In-Ear Monitor

Made in the USA

64 Audio’s first high driver-count hybrid, Nio is a universal-fit earphone featuring a 9mm dynamic driver and 8 balanced armature drivers.

With a versatile sound signature characterized by extended lows and a rich three-dimensional soundstage, Nio’s powerful warmth and smooth treble will provide hours of pleasurable listening for all genres of music. This is an earphone that is unabashedly fun — and thanks to interchangeable Apex modules, you can instantly switch from enjoying extra bass to a neutral sound signature.

Each ergonomic shell is machined out of a solid piece of aluminum and finished with a striking blue abalone faceplate.

SOUND

Nio is incredibly versatile, delivering two distinct listening experiences in one IEM.

With the default m15 or m20 modules, bass is the star, boosted yet still clean — the dynamic driver delivers exceptional texture, slam, and decay for an immediately exciting listen. Then, its smooth midrange and airy treble truly deliver over the long-run, reproducing great detail and helping you get lost in your favourite tracks.

Looking for a more typical frequency response? Just swap to the included mX module, which lowers the bass quantity. Nio transforms into a neutral reference IEM in its own right, with clarity and soundstage width that will impress even the most discerning of listeners.

Best of all, you can switch between these unique sound signatures in an instant — see the Apex technology section below.

TECHNOLOGY

Duo features exclusive technologies that challenge traditional in-ear monitor designs to give you the absolute best listening experience.

Tubeless In-Ear Audio

64 Audio's tia is a patented IEM design methodology that aims to reduce unwanted resonance and distortion for a transparent and lifelike sound signature. Nio features two major elements of the tia system:

The tia driver is an open balanced armature speaker design that brings new meaning to resolution and transparency. It delivers airy, crisp, and microdetailed upper frequencies with characteristics not often found in a headphone or in-ear monitor. By opening a balanced armature, the diaphragm becomes fully unobstructed, unleashing the sound potential of the driver. This eliminates a lot of the vibrations and resonances that are inherent in conventional, closed balanced armature designs. With this new method of producing and delivering sound to the ear, conventional sound tubes and dampers are no longer necessary.

The tia single-bore design is a huge leap forward in eliminating unwanted tube resonance. The large bore itself serves as a sound-shaping chamber and aids the tia high driver in delivering a linear and coherent frequency response. Because of the extremely short sound path of the tia high driver, a remarkable high-frequency extension and smoothness is achieved. The large single bore also helps prevent clogging of the tip and obstruction of sound.

Air Pressure Exchange

Apex is a patented vent that releases air pressure in a sealed ear canal all while retaining a level of isolation; this venting alleviates listener fatigue and allows for a much more realistic soundstage.

When you seal a miniature speaker in an ear canal, the air inside becomes trapped. As the speaker produces sound, it moves the air and causes the eardrum to work excessively. The pneumatic pressure exerted on the eardrum causes ear fatigue. Apex relieves this pressure, allowing the eardrum to move naturally, so you can comfortably listen longer.

Apex enables air to move freely in the ear canal, which extends the perceived soundstage and allows for a more natural listening experience. Everything from inserting, wearing, and removing the IEMs becomes a much more natural and painless process.

Apex is implemented in Nio via interchangeable modules, so you can quickly switch between different levels of isolation and sound signatures. Although the modules technically only affect the low frequencies, this psychoacoustically affects your perception of the whole frequency range.

The m20 module (-20dB noise isolation) offers the greatest sub-bass shelf, with the type of isolation you'd expect from a conventional IEM, minus the ear fatigue.
The m15 module (-15dB noise isolation) is fitted to Nio by default. Enjoy a powerful warm sound, while hearing some of your surroundings.
The mX module (-10dB noise isolation) transforms Nio into a neutral IEM, significantly attenuating bass, opening up the soundstage, and proving its incredible versatility.

Linear Impedance Design

Smartphones, body packs, amps, and DAPs produce audio with different output impedances. The interaction of the earphone impedance curve with the sources may result in the same IEM sounding different with different sources.

LID is a proprietary circuit that corrects the non-linear impedances of the multiple driver-sets that comprise this nine-driver IEM, restoring proper interaction with the source and preserving the desired sound signature, so you can enjoy the same sound reliably across sources.

CABLE

Nio's packaging and accessories have been updated, and now includes a new, low resistance cable in black.

It features a branded straight 3.5mm metal jack, as well as a metal synch and branded metal bifurcation.

Our classic angled 2-Pin connectors are situated at the end of an ergonomic curve in the cable to accommodate a comfortable fit around the ear without a memory wire. The new soft jacketing minimizes tangling and microphonic noise.
