THIEAUDIO Clairvoyance MKII
The Evolution of THIEAUDIO's Signature
The original Clairvoyance was a revolutionary tribrid IEM that reshaped the industry and established THIEAUDIO's place on the global IEM market. The Clairvoyance not only pioneered the Tribrid technology, but it also defined a tuning signature that would become an industry standard. After 6 years of innovation and refinement, we are finally ready to present the modern Clairvoyance: the Clairvoyance MKII.
An All New 2DD + 5BA + 2EST Tribrid Configuration
The Clairvoyance MKII is built on a modernized driver platform. The latest generation of IMPACT2, THIEAUDIO's dual 8mm isobaric subwoofer system, is used to hammer out tight and impactful sub-bass slam. Four Knowles balanced armature drivers maximizes midrange resolution while providing a natural timbre to vocals and instruments. A separate latest-generation Knowles mid-treble driver enhances vocal bite and presence, while providing refined imaging to the overall sound. THIEAUDIO's advanced engineering of the dual Sonion electrostatic ultra-tweeters delivers unprecedented ultra-treble extension, immersing listeners in a truly lifelike soundstage.
A Modern Tonal Balance
The Clairvoyance MKII builds upon its beloved sound signature, incorporating a more modern tuning preference. A 9dB sub-bass shelf was carefully shaped to deliver powerful kick drum punches and robust bass guitar notes. From 200Hz to 1kHz, a natural midrange with a precise ∆2dB slope adds warmth and depth to the fundamental frequencies of vocals and instrument while maintaining clarity and separation. The treble peaks precisely at 3kHz, which accounts for the natural acoustic transfer function of the human pinna. The treble decays smoothly and fits the modern preference target, while the ultra-treble frequencies are extended to 40kHz for added air and sparkle in the overall sound.
An IEM for Pure Musical Enjoyment
Upon their initial release, the Clairvoyance and Monarch twins were geared towards two separate audiences. The Monarch was a highly technical studio monitor meant for sound engineers and musicians, while the Clairvoyance featured a more musical tuning for audiophiles. The Clairvoyance MKII honors this legacy, and is designed to let listeners experience their music at its fullest potential. The tuning is fun and engaging - all without overly coloring the sound. The technicalities are pushed to the limits, bringing out every detail and nuance from every track.
Excellence in Engineering
Over a year of R&D was invested into developing the Clairvoyance MKII. Countless tuning revisions and driver changes were made until the perfect combination was achieved. A comprehensive 4-way crossover using 13 separate passive components and 4 sound tubes enables a highly resolving sound and natural tonal signature.
Premium Satin-Finished Stainless Steel Body
To fit the Signature Series title, a unibody 316 stainless steel shell was meticulously CNC machined from single solid blocks. The surface was hand polished to a premium satin finish for a luxurious look and feel. This extensive CNC machining process provides the most durable, yet refined, fit and finish.
Two Faceplate Options: Guilloché and Studio
The Clairvoyance MKII is available in two faceplate options. The Guilloché faceplate features intricate precision-cut and polished diamond-like guilloché patterns that shimmer under the light. This process involves a complex multi-step procedure, starting with mirror-polished stainless steel blocks that are cut using micro guilloché technique and gently repolished. The result is an IEM that looks and feels as premium as it sounds. For those looking for a more professional design without the ornamentation, the Clairvoyance MKII is also available with a Studio faceplate. The Studio faceplate is made from solid satin-finished stainless steel with beveled edges, offering an understated, yet refined-to-the-touch presentation.
Custom Modular Cable
The Clairvoyance MKII comes with a custom ultra-pure 6N OCC-silver and copper mixed litz cable, allowing a clear and noise-free signal transmission. The cable utilizes a 2-pin 0.78mm connector system to allow users to change their cables. Additionally, the cable features THIEAUDIO's modular plug system, allowing users to change between 3.5mm unbalanced and 4.4mm balanced connections.
