A Decade of Mastery, The Pinnacle of Technology AROMA Audio 10th Anniversary Flagship – "Core"

To commemorate a decade since the brand's inception, AROMA Audio has dedicated itself to crafting a masterpiece that symbolizes its ten-year journey: the 10th Anniversary Edition, "Core."

Over the past few years, AROMA Audio has consistently released ultra-flagship IEMs. However, the brand has never ceased to question whether sound could transcend the limits of current flagships. Through this relentless exploration, AROMA Audio merged the concepts of the "IEM" and the "Portable Amplifier," giving birth to "Core." This system comprises two integral parts: the IEM monitor itself and the "White Tiger" cable, which features a built-in amplifier. Both components exemplify AROMA Audio’s uncompromising dedication to acoustic perfection and innovative craftsmanship.

In terms of aesthetics, "Core" features a newly designed titanium alloy faceplate. This choice is not merely for visual craftsmanship; the brand believes this new material introduces further acoustic nuances. The faceplates are embossed with the AROMA Audio and Core logos on respective sides. The shell utilizes 3D printing technology, maintaining a semi-custom shape to ensure the brand's signature comfort and stability.

Acoustically, "Core" boasts a luxurious configuration of 14 drivers per side: 6 Electrostatic drivers, 6 Balanced Armature drivers, and 2 x 9.2mm Dynamic drivers. Drawing upon the R&D experience from ultra-flagship products like "Jewel" and "FEIWAN," AROMA Audio has reintegrated these technologies to create a truly innovative sound signature:

• 6 Electrostatic Drivers: These allow for high and ultra-high frequencies to extend seemingly without limit, maintaining brilliant linearity while delivering unparalleled transparency.
• 6 Balanced Armature Drivers: Responsible for the mid-range, these drivers maintain density while delivering a bright performance, serving as the crucial link between the electrostatic and dynamic drivers.
• 2 x 9.2mm Dynamic Drivers: Utilizing the same "Patent for Coaxial Strong Magnetic Phase Pair Double Dynamic Drivers Technology" found in the "FEIWAN," these elevate low-frequency performance, enriching the layering of power and airiness.

The "White Tiger" cable serves as a revolutionary component of the "Core" system, innovatively fusing a "portable amplifier" into the cable architecture. While retaining standard 2-pin connectors and a 4.4mm termination, the cable features an aluminum-encased amplifier (which requires charging and power activation). This specific design was engineered to address the high driving requirements of the "Core" monitors.

"White Tiger" is an active cable system designed exclusively as the driving solution for "Core." Its amplification circuit is meticulously matched to the cable's parasitic inductance and capacitance, optimizing transmission characteristics while reducing loss and interference. The unique circuit architecture is optimized for the complex impedance characteristics of the "Core" drivers and crossover, acting as a dedicated buffer between the headphones and the source equipment. This eliminates the need for users to consider impedance matching, simultaneously solving issues of insufficient or excessive driving power.

Regarding materials, "White Tiger" utilizes 26 AWG Litz 4S G-UPOCC (Graphene-enhanced Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Casting) copper. It employs Absolute Shielding Technology to shield the conductors, minimizing interference to ensure the purest possible sound.

Whether it is the "Core" monitor or the "White Tiger" cable, AROMA Audio has employed brand-new technologies and creativity. This endeavor aims to create the ultimate crystallization of AROMA Audio’s technical prowess for this significant 10th anniversary, showcasing the sound the brand has taken the most pride in over the last decade.
