DESCRIPTION

ThieAudio proudly presents the newly developed and upgraded Monarch MKII, representing the peak of the company’s R&D skill sets, combining both the latest technology and innovative engineering to bring together the top of the line IEM. The Monarch MKII has been completely redefined with driver overhauls and enhanced tuning. Following the success of their previous generation IEM, ThieAudio is proud to present the new tribrid setup IEM: the Monarch MKII. Equipped with a unique hybrid driver configuration, Monarch MKII is engineered to blow your mind with its pristine sound quality.

The Monarch MKII offers 2 Electrostatic + 6 Balanced Armatures + 1 Dynamic Driver tribrid setup, featuring three different classes of drivers matched based on their unique functional properties. The sub-bass and bass of the Oracle are powered by an upgraded 10mm composite dynamic driver to produce a richer and more impactful low-frequency. Additionally, two dedicated subwoofer balanced armature drivers were paired with the dynamic driver, bringing about coherency between the lows and the rest of the frequency spectrum. The team at ThieAudio have chosen balanced armature (BA) drivers to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) in the mid-range of the frequency spectrum. The latest electrostatic drivers are incorporated into the Monarch MKII, and rearrangement of driver location has minimised unwanted tubing resonance and extended its high-frequency roll-off compared to the original Monarch.

The team of acoustic engineers at ThieAudio have pushed the boundaries when it comes to tuning the Monarch MKII. With its triple hybrid and nine driver setup, the Monarch MKII is engineered to deliver balanced audio across the entire frequency spectrum. To bring about a resolution, ThieAudio has slightly decreased the volume of the sub-bass to more appropriate levels, while pushing the low-pass crossover from 150Hz to 200Hz. This change still maintains the clean and punchy subwoofer-like characteristic of the lows that doesn’t muddy the mids but introduces an ever-slightly warm texture to fundamental low-frequency instruments such as the bass guitar. The mid-frequencies between 200Hz and 1kHz are kept ruler-flat neutral, which makes the Monarch MKII an impeccable professional monitoring device. Every aspect of the tuning process has been scrutinised, being meticulously tested by ear and measurement equipment, and are proud to present the perfect vision that is the Monarch MKII.

ThieAudio Monarch MKII comes bundled with a state-of-the-art, audiophile-grade, superior quality pure silver OCC cable with improved physical texture using a soft braided paracord material. The Monarch MKII's stock cable still maintains the ultra-pure silver plated 26AWG OCC copper Litz wires, but the additional strand incorporation gives it a slightly meatier feel and a richer sound. Most significantly, this new stock cable features the proprietary "Smart Switch", a new modular plug design, allowing you to choose between 4.4mm balanced, 2.5mm balanced and 3.5mm unbalanced terminations, simply by swapping out the plugs. This reduces the need for bulky adaptors, giving your set-up a more complete look and feel. The 2Pin connectors on the stock cable are also updated to provide a more secure fit with your IEMs. This 2Pin connector allows for easy connectivity and also allows for upgradability in the future.
