CAMPFIRE AUDIO SATSUMA AND HONEYDEW EARPHONES UNVEILED
Campfire Audio of Portland, Oregon USA, has unveiled two new wired IEMs the Campfire Audio Satsuma and Honeydew, which feature unique, hand-crafted designs in two sonically tailored variations.
BACK TO BASICS
Campfire Audio believes that many consumers are seeking a ‘back to basics’ approach with their audio favouring features such as customized acoustic chambers, full-range balanced armature drivers, and quality cabling over convenient add-ons such as voice command and wireless capabilities.
CAMPFIRE AUDIO SATSUMA AND HONEYDEW
Both the ‘orange-fizz’ coloured Campfire Audio Satsuma and the ‘mellow-yellow’ coloured Campfire Audio Honeydew earphones are characterized by their acoustic performance and recognizable design aesthetic, at a more entry level price point.
“Both the Satsuma and Honeydew feature design characteristics that are also present in our higher-priced audiophile earphone models,” explained Caleb Rosenau, Vice President of Campfire Audio. “With the launch of these two affordably priced earphone models, our intention was to help consumers become more focused on the emotional impact of their music, rather than on features that prioritize connectivity.”
3D PRINTED ACOUSTIC CHAMBERS
Satsuma and Honeydew are distinguished in the marketplace by offering uncommon features at these price points, including patented 3D printed acoustic chambers, full-range balanced armature drivers, and high-quality silver-plated copper cabling. Campfire Audio’s entire line of earphones are designed and manufactured in Portland, Oregon, USA.
CAMPFIRE AUDIO SATUSMA
The ‘orange fizz’ coloured Satsuma features an aesthetically similar presentation to Campfire Audio’s higher-end range of products, characterized by the company’s u3D printed acoustic chamber design. This chamber helps to optimize frequency response curves emanating from the unit’s full range balanced-armature driver. Sonically, Campfire Audio says Satsuma is characterized by “highly focused mid-band frequencies, tightly controlled bass response, and slightly enhanced highs — without the harshness”.
CAMPFIRE AUDIO HONEYDEW
Meanwhile, the ‘mellow-yellow’ coloured Honeydew, which also features Campfire Audio’s patented 3D printed acoustic chamber, was designed with a bass-forward frequency response that R&B, Hip Hop, and EDM fans will appreciate. Built expressly for music lovers who crave a punchy and highly detailed bass response that is both fast and dynamic, Honeydew has the lower frequencies covered with a custom-designed 10mm LCP diaphragm dynamic driver.
Both Satsuma and Honeydew feature innovative material selection, bright colours, high-quality cabling, and reliability. They come with sophisticated packaging, a colourful, soft-lined pouch and a generous selection of tips to match any size ear. They are made from light but strong ABS plastic.
