Campfire Audio Clara In-Ear Monitors

Bringing a vision to light

"Working with such an accomplished and creative artist like Alessandro has been an honor and a privilege. Our shared passion and personal taste in music, and a love for electronic music specifically, forged a bond that led to the pursuit of Clara.

Science, art, and music have been the three pillars of my life. Bringing decades of pursuing these pillars to a project alongside Alessandro, who shares these values and brings their own unique creative vision and expertise, has been a highlight of my career. I think we have designed something very special that will resonate with fans of Campfire and the audiophile community."

– Ken Ball, Campfire Audio Founder and Lead Acoustic Engineer

"Making music is equally creating and listening: the idea of sound choices informing the next compositional move, thanks to how you perceive them. 

Clara is not only the tangible result of my preference in tuning and spatial portrayal, but also a reflection of the deep bond with Ken and I, musical and philosophical, that lead to it. I have been a fan of Campfire Audio for a long time, and having the chance to share the creative process with a likeminded individual as Ken has made this journey a fantastic one. 

I’m very proud of what the CA team and I have achieved: Clara injects emotion into accuracy , allowing audiophiles to enjoy both a precise and engaging sonic portrayal, and musicians to amplify their creativity through the vibrant and physical emotional transfer that it provides.

I hope Clara brings you joy."

Alessandro Cortini is a renowned musician known for his work with modular synthesizers and is a Rock Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a member of Nine Inch Nails. He is an active member of the audiophile community and has a deep passion for all things sound.

His latest solo album, NATI INFINITI, is a 40-minute piece split into five movements, based on an immersive audio installation that Cortini originally created for the Sónar Lisboa festival in 2022 where it was presented across four floors of the Museu de Lisboa’s Moagem. Cortini later debuted the live performance at Berlin’s Atonal festival in 2023, reimagining the work as a unique, evolving dialogue. The record is mixed by Grammy nominated recording engineer, producer, and mixer Marta Salogni (Björk, Depeche Mode, Sampha), and features Cortini’s Strega synth, which he co-designed with music technology company Make Noise.
