IMPACT² is a new subwoofer solution consisting of two 10mm composite diaphragm drivers arranged in an isobaric design. The addition of another 10mm subwoofer significantly enhances the power and texture of the bass, while the in-house isobaric chamber design keeps the frequency and pressure constant. This means better quality bass without sacrificing tonal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBalanced Tuning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping in tradition with Thie's commitment to tonal balance, the Hype 2 features the classic and beloved studio-monitor like tuning. The bass is powerful and thunderous, thanks to IMPACT² , but well controlled by keeping a tight 200Hz bass shelf. Thus, the mids are flat and neutral, accurately representing the tone of studio monitors used by pro audio engineers. The treble is respectfully tamed throughout the entire range, never peaking, but also never dipping to maintain a balance between detail retrieval and pleasant listening. The overall tonality will be familiar to Thieaudio fans who have enjoyed the upper-end series (Monarch \u003ca title=\"Thieaudio Monarch MKII Tribrid Universal IEMs\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/thieaudio-monarch-mk2\"\u003eMKII\u003c\/a\u003e + \u003ca title=\"Thieaudio Monarch MKIII Flagship Tribrid Universal IEMs\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/thieaudio-monarch-mk3\"\u003eMKIII\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Thieaudio Prestige Flagship Tribrid Universal IEMs\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/thieaudio-prestige\"\u003ePrestige\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca title=\"Thieaudio V16 Divinity Balanced Armature Universal IEMs\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/thieaudio-v16-divinity\"\u003eV16 Divinity\u003c\/a\u003e) while newer audiences will be introduced to the true definition of an in-ear monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Thieaudio Hype 2 frequency response graph\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/thieaudio-hype2-frequency.jpg?v=1696364428\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/blogs\/measurements-database\/thieaudio-hype-2-frequency-response\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/Thieaudio-Hype-2.webp?v=1728393967\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1098\" alt=\"Thieaudio Hype 2 measurement graph\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thieaudio","offers":[{"title":"Zicao","offer_id":40077561987147,"sku":"TA-HYPE2-PUR","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Indigo","offer_id":40077562019915,"sku":"TA-HYPE2-BLU","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/thieaudio-hype2-purple-7-thumb.jpg?v=1696858707","url":"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/thieaudio-hype-2","provider":"Bloom Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
