Each side pairs four custom Knowles bass drivers, two Knowles ED mid drivers, and four Knowles SWFK treble drivers, covering a 20Hz–40kHz frequency range at 10Ω impedance and 106dB\/mW sensitivity. The shells are DLP 3D printed from photosensitive resin to a precision of up to 0.0375mm, keeping each earpiece to about 7g. An 8-strand, 224-wire high-purity silver cable terminates in an expanded MMCX connector and swappable 3.5mm\/4.4mm plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSplitting ten drivers across three dedicated frequency bands per ear — four for bass, two for mids, four for treble — lets FiiO tune each range independently instead of asking a smaller driver count to cover the whole spectrum, which is the same approach used in reference-grade studio monitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Knowles balanced armature drivers per ear (4 bass, 2 mid, 4 treble)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20Hz–40kHz frequency response, Hi-Res Audio certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-strand, 224-wire silver cable with swappable 3.5mm\/4.4mm plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for the FiiO FA19:\u003c\/strong\u003e use the 4.4mm balanced plug with a desktop DAC\/amp or a balanced-output DAP to get the most resolution out of the ten-driver array.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy It Wins\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10-Driver Balanced Armature Array\u003c\/strong\u003e: Four Knowles bass, two Knowles mid, and four Knowles treble drivers per ear, custom-developed with Knowles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision 3D-Printed Shells\u003c\/strong\u003e: DLP resin printing to 0.0375mm precision for a consistent, comfortable fit at about 7g per earpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Silver Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 strands of 224 high-purity silver wires with swappable 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat Makes It Different\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost multi-driver IEMs split two or three ranges across a handful of drivers.
