Campfire Audio<\/strong> and Astell&Kern<\/strong> have earned the recognition of audiophiles around the world thanks to their excellent technology introduced with the first collaboration model, AK Solaris X<\/strong>, which is a celebrated product that recreates the deep, rich sound of Astell&Kern<\/strong>. Now, Astell&Kern<\/strong> and Campfire Audio<\/strong> join forces once again to present PATHFINDER<\/strong>, a new hybrid IEM that offers amazing technology and sound.<\/p>\n Astell&Kern<\/strong> and Campfire Audio<\/strong> take innovation to a new level by combining their advanced technologies and designs to create a product worthy of the name PATHFINDER<\/strong>. To realize this dream, they repeatedly tested numerous designs to produce a structure different from existing IEMs and added an innovative Dual-Diaphragm Balanced Armature Driver, finally achieving the best sound. Enjoy a unique experience through PATHFINDER<\/strong>, a more advanced Hybrid IEM.<\/p>\n A completely new IEM design was needed for a wider frequency range, realistic reproduction, and a perfect balance. To achieve this, PATHFINDER<\/strong> has a new Dual-Diaphragm Balanced Armature (BA) Driver from Knowles<\/strong> for the key part of the midrange, dual BA drivers for high frequencies, as well as two dynamic drivers with a hybrid diaphragms that create bass and midrange.<\/p>\n A Radial Venting Acoustic Chamber, newly developed by Campfire Audi<\/strong>o, is applied to the two Custom 10mm Dynamic Drivers. The 3D-printed chamber design naturally expresses the intense low-frequency sound produced by the two dynamic drivers while preserving the unique sound of the Dynamic Driver.<\/p>\n Custom Beryllium Copper MMCX connectors are more resilient against wear and tear than regular brass connectors, providing a robust mating mechanism; one that is typically made from soft brass. This selection of a harder material extends the life of the component and the earphone.<\/p>\n PATHFINDER<\/strong> comes with three silver-plated copper cables allowing the earphones to reach their full performance potential. The silver-plated OFC copper Litz cable is a newly produced flat cable, with enameled silver-plated copper wire conductor to offer clearer, extended sounds. The flat cable prevents tangling, can be wound for easy storage, and has minimal cable distortion. It is over-molded for increased durability and finished with a metal housing.<\/p>\n Astell&Kern x Campfire Audio Pathfinder product introduction video:<\/strong> discover the collaboration\u2019s custom shell design, hybrid driver configuration, detachable cable, fit and presentation accessories.<\/p>\nThe Combination for Perfect Balance<\/h4>\n
