Final Audio has revealed its latest pair of IEMs in the A-series. Since the release of the A8000, Final has been working on more affordable options that meet the high standard of flagship. Both the A3000 and A4000 share a similar look, but both of these earphones have been built from the ground up.
Both the A3000 and A4000 will feature the same f-Core DU driver unit, a 6mm dynamic system newly designed not only for the driver unit such as the diaphragm, voice coil, magnet, magnetic circuits, adhesives, but also the production machinery used in the manufacturing process.
As the material for the driver front housing, rather than the traditional aluminum, Final Audio used brass, a material that is both highly resistant to the effects of magnetism and also boasts a high specific gravity. In order to increase the time response characteristic of the diaphragm, the voice coil employs a 30μ ultrathin CCAW, and a minimum of adhesive is used for assembly to thoroughly lighten the moving parts. Moreover, the diaphragms are neatly pressed in small lots of roughly 1/3 the normal size in order to constrain pressure deviation to a minimum and realize uniformly shaped diaphragm with no deformation.
Another new addition to Final’s A-series is the introduction of detachable 2pin OFC cables. The 2-Pin connector is a high precision part that was developed by Final Audio in-house. The plug employs the highest versatility 0.78 standard. The cable employs soft, supple coating material designed with consideration to touch noise and bends flexibly when used in conjunction with an ear hook to achieve a good fit.
