Featuring brand new balanced armature drivers from Knowles, second generation IMPACT2 sub-woofer system, and a new engineering approach, the HYPE 4 MKII makes leaps in both tonal and technical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGen 2 IMPACT2\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe HYPE 4 MKII incorporated the latest generation of the IMPACT2 sub-woofer system, which is shared with the Monarch MKIV. Two 8mm composite diaphragm dynamic drivers encased in Thieaudio’s proprietary pneumatic acoustic chamber pumps out tight, focused, and deep sub-bass thumps, all while keeping the rest of the frequency range clean and neutral. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKnowles Balanced Armature Drivers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe MKII design was developed from the ground up. Using imported American Knowles balanced armature drivers, the HYPE 4 MKII makes no compromises when it comes to tonal and technical excellence. Two of the latest Knowles RAB series drivers focus on rich and pronounced low-mids, while separate ED-33465 driver layers up on mid-treble frequencies. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis crossover strategy significantly enhances imaging capabilities as well as tonal depth in the midrange. A single Knowless RAD-33518 ultra-tweeter has been strategically positioned within the nozzle for an upper treble extension that rivals electroststic and planar drivers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Thieaudio Hype 4 MKII IEMs coiled in cable sitting on wooden table with Luxsin amplifier\" height=\"1360\" width=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/ta-hype4-mk2-lifestyle-one.webp?v=1767120930\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnhanced Tuning Approach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe key to Thieaudio’s global success has been its attention to tonal balance. They took a step back to assess what characterizes the intersection between studio neutral and musical enjoyment, and have incorporated our new tuning approach into the HYPE 4 MKII. The sub-woofer output is thunderous, with a 9dB output, but with a sharp cutoff at 150Hz, the bass is precise and free from bloating. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe midrange features a lush 400Hz hump, while being neutral between the bass and treble cutoffs. This allows the midrange to be naturally warm, without being muddy, while remaining true to a studio monitor presentation. The treble is painstakingly tuned to feature a delayed decay, which allows excellent detail retrieval and upper headroom in the soundstage, while being free of harshness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellence in Engineering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe HYPE 4 MKII is acoustically engineered with a 4-way crossover and 4-tube system featuring 7 separate passive components. Physically, the MKII is constructed from CNC-processed solid aluminum blocks, which are then finished by hand prior to being anodized for a professional look and durability. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach HYPE 4 MKII unit is hand assembled and undergo independent rounds of quality inspections at each manufacturing phase, including individual driver pairing, driver assembly, shell processing, final assembly, and packaging. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/thieaudio-hype-2-mk2-box.webp?v=1762968114\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Thieaudio Hype 4 MKII iems box contents and accessories flatlay birdseye view on black wood background\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePremium Modular Cable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe HYPE 4 MKII features their new performance cable, with 7N ultra-OFC copper and silver-litzed wires.
