Yanyin Carmen: Balanced armature headphones with 10 drivers

Yanyin Carmen – new balanced armature headphones with 10 drivers in a 4-way configuration. Carmen is our new flagship in pure BA monitoring, developed on the basis of the successful Moonlight model .

Ten BA Drivers
For the low frequencies, Carmen uses four Sound Dynamic BA drivers, providing the energy and response typical of dynamic drivers, while maintaining the transients and texture of BA drivers. The midrange is handled by two Sound Dynamic BA drivers, providing a rich and smooth sound.

Carmen is equipped with phase-lock compensation technology, a rare and difficult achievement in multi-driver configurations. Thanks to our extensive research experience, we have achieved exceptionally low distortion and a balanced frequency response, which provides clear separation and seamless integration of frequencies across the spectrum. This results in high-fidelity sound reproduction. The design includes purple and star elements, creating a strong visual impression and a mysterious, romantic atmosphere reminiscent of the passionate Spanish flavor of the opera Carmen.

Handcrafted from medical resin
Handcrafted from medical resin, combining purple hues with star theme, creating a bright and charming aesthetic that embodies the exotic appeal of the musical piece “Carmen”.
