Deep pockets? Deep ears? Aful Cantor REVIEW
Aful has been teasing and showing the Cantor for a year, and now it's finally here: Aful's flagship 14xBA IEM with an absolutely gorgeous build. But does the sound stack up to expectations after a year of waiting and a steep (but reasonable) $800 price tag?
description
AFUL Cantor Flagship 14 BA In-Ear Monitors (IEMs). 🎧
- Name and Meaning:
- AFUL stands for “At Full,” symbolizing perfection, completeness, and the pursuit of excellence.
- In Chinese, it translates to “致音,” representing the ultimate in sound quality and reverence. The character “致” conveys meanings of respect, focus, achievement, precision, and refinement—highlighting AFUL’s dedication to achieving perfect sound.
- The Journey:
- 2018: The journey began with a dedicated acoustic team focused on cutting-edge technology. They acquired high-quality 3D printing and acoustic testing equipment, building a unique acoustic lab.
- 2019: A breakthrough came with engineering prototypes featuring novel circuit topology and acoustic structures. These allowed a single balanced armature (BA) driver to deliver stunning HiFi performance.
- 2020: Refinement led to the second generation of circuit topology and acoustic structure. Three technology patents secured for innovations.
- 2021: Commercialization and exploration of new applications. Original S&E Math technology recognized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
- 2022: Successful worldwide launch of the Performer series earphones, receiving rave reviews.
- 2023: The latest masterpiece: the 1DD+7BA Performer 8, based on S&E-math technology.
- Technology Highlights:
- Dual Channel Acoustic Maze Technology (Deep Elastic Bass):
- The Cantor features two advanced composite drivers:
- One for ultra-low frequencies (10-100Hz) with an ultra-thin, extended sound tube.
- Another for powerful bass.
- Precision-tuned acoustic tubes enhance depth, power, and clarity, transforming low-frequency performance with superior elasticity and bass depth.
- The Cantor features two advanced composite drivers:
- High-Precision 3D Printed Acoustic Tube Structure:
- Acoustic crossover tubes use physical frequency division to adjust sound response.
- Fine-tuned and optimized to harmonize sound waves from different tubes, eliminating resonance peaks.
- Non-Destructive Direct Drive Topology Technology:
- Enhances sound clarity by eliminating resonance through an asymmetrical sound path.
- Delivers extended, smooth highs without harshness.
- Multidimensional Frequency Division Architecture:
- Efficiently integrates 14 BA drivers, each with a specific function.
- Creates a cohesive soundstage with smooth frequency transitions and an immersive, balanced audio experience.
- Dual Channel Acoustic Maze Technology (Deep Elastic Bass):
- Design and Finish:
- Stunning mother-of-pearl finish.
- Nickel-plated brass nozzle for superior clarity.
- Premium cable and materials for exceptional connectivity and durability.
The AFUL Cantor Flagship IEMs combine cutting-edge technology with reverence for perfect sound.
