IO AUDIO, a new brand making its debut, has launched its flagship IEM, the VOLARE, which has received rave reviews since its introduction. Today, they’re unveiling their secondary flagship IEM, the SOGNO, priced at $399. This model features a five-way frequency crossover that combines two dynamic drivers with six balanced armature drivers. Let’s delve deeper!
SOGNO offers a complete driver configuration. The newly developed five-way frequency crossover incorporates two dynamic drivers and six balanced armature drivers, each dedicated to specific frequency bands. One dynamic driver handles bass and a portion of the vocals, while another optimizes impedance for high frequencies. Additionally, four balanced armature drivers ensure consistent timbre, and two customized balanced armature drivers enhance upper high-frequency reinforcement, resulting in a unique, vivid, and smooth high-frequency timbre. This reasonable driver configuration covers the human hearing range, providing a smooth and cohesive sound.
Featuring a brand-new physical frequency crossover system. Following the principle of giving priority to the acoustic structure of I/O Audio, the rigorous design of sound nozzle and unique precise physical frequency crossover technology of I/O Audio are adopted to reduce the interference of different drivers and frequency bands, and the priority of filtering and impedance matching adjustment is earlier than the traditional damper, which effectively reduces the distortion of full frequency bands, resulting in a clean sound.
SOGNO uses a newly developed balanced armature driver for upper high frequency, which has achieved one of the lowest distortion levels among similar drivers. Additionally, the sensitivity has been adjusted to reduce the need for additional frequency crossover components, optimizing the system engineering.
It also incorporates self-developed coaxial dual dynamic drivers with high-spec 10mm silica gel suspension mixed paper basin dome. This innovation has effectively reduced bass distortion and enhanced the connection between mids and bass, resulting in a more natural and smooth performance. The 6mm treble driver has been designed to optimize the impedance characteristics of the high-frequency driver, leading to smoother and more captivating high-frequency output.
SOGNO is firstly-used the unique multi-channel mid-range accurate mirroring technology, enhancing stereo imaging through double Mids frequency differential design, improving traditional IEM’s imaging.
After years of pre-research of I/O Audio, with the application of a variety of brand-new drivers and innovative adjustment, SOGNO not only reached the top-class sensitivity, but also kept the straight phase of most frequency bands.
The frequency response curve of SOGNO aligns with the average value of the generalized human ear transfer function and provides clear and true-to-life sound.
SOGNO includes an inner ear air pressure balance system to minimize ear pressure, reducing listening fatigue and avoiding pressure on sound components. This promotes a longer service life for drivers.
Additionally, It comes with a high-specification cable featuring interchangeable adapters, offering 4.4mm, 2.5mm, and 3.5mm replaceable plugs. The cable is made of 4 strands of cross-braided 6N OFC oxygen-free copper silver-plated wire, using an extremely flexible antioxidant-modified ABS skin and tensile aramid fiber as the fiber core.
