Knowles Corporation (NYSE: KN), the leading manufacturer of specialty electronic components, including high performance capacitors, radio frequency filters, advanced medtech microphones and balanced armature drivers has announced that Status Audio has selected Knowles BA drivers for its new Status Pro X true wireless earbuds.
Featuring a triple-driver hybrid configuration that uses two Knowles balanced armature transducers and a dynamic driver in each earbud, this distinctive combination is designed to deliver clear sound that can rival many other hybrid true wireless stereo earbuds currently in the market.
Hybrid Driver Arrangement
As consumers increase their expectations of what high-definition audio can deliver, this latest collaboration showcases the technical advantages of using a hybrid driver arrangement in a pair of true wireless earbuds.
Status Pro X earbuds have a sophisticated acoustic system that uses two miniaturized Knowles balanced armature drivers with the raw muscle of a 12mm diameter dynamic driver. The result is a frequency response that captures subtle sonic textures and dynamic range that a single-driver configuration simply can’t achieve.
The Status Pro X users have the option of selecting an equalizer adjustment including the Status Signature setting or the Knowles Curve setting, based on the Knowles Preferred Listening Response Curve.
More Satisfying Listening Experience.
The Knowles Preferred Listening Response Curve is a breakthrough in audio engineering and is based on research that shows how listeners across all age ranges and hearing abilities prefer expanded treble response beyond 10kHz for a more satisfying listening experience.
By leveraging Knowles balanced armature technology, Status Audio says it can reach the higher frequencies necessary to produce optimal audio performance which unlocks intricate musical details while preserving the natural tonal balance that most audiophiles demand.
“Our balanced armatures represent the pinnacle of miniaturized audio engineering,” says Jon Kiachian, president of medtech and specialty audio at Knowles Corporation. “The collaboration with Status Audio exemplifies how our BA drivers can help innovative brands deliver truly exceptional audio experiences in remarkably compact form factors. The Status Pro X showcases exactly what becomes possible when cutting-edge driver technology meets thoughtful product design—an audio experience that reveals all the nuances and details of music that conventional earbuds simply cannot reproduce.”
Knowles balanced armature drivers produce an unprecedented sound performance for their size, allowing Status Audio to produce an earbud that’s 21% smaller than its previous model without compromising sound quality, frequency range or battery life. The high sensitivity of the balanced armatures also makes it possible to improve hearing personalization while still maximizing power efficiency.
