Yao

Yao: The Emperor's Voice

In the "Musical Box" series, if the Twins is the "Performer," the Yao (堯) is the "Sovereign." Named after one of ancient China's most benevolent emperors, this monitor is designed to rule the mid-range. It rejects the modern trend of harsh "hyper-detail" in favor of a regal, authoritative, and deeply emotional presentation. It is not just about hearing the music; it is about feeling the breath of the vocalist.

12-Driver Pure Armature Architecture

The Yao leverages a massive array of 12 Balanced Armature drivers per side to create a wall of sound with zero distortion.

• The Foundation (4x Low): Four large vented drivers handle the bass. Unlike the punchy decay of a dynamic driver, these armatures provide "speed" and "texture," allowing for complex basslines to be resolved without bleeding into the mids.
• The Soul (4x Mid): Four dedicated mid-range drivers create the Yao's signature "Lush" vocal presentation. Male and female vocals are pushed forward with a density and weight that few IEMs can replicate.
• The Air (2x High + 2x Ultra-High): Four tweeters ensure that despite the warm tonality, the soundstage remains open and holographic, extending effortlessly to 20kHz.

4-Way Crossover Network

Controlling 12 drivers requires military-grade precision. We utilize a 4-Way, 4-Channel Crossover design that physically separates the frequencies into distinct sound tubes. This ensures that the high frequencies never collide with the low frequencies inside the shell, resulting in superior phase coherence and instrument separation.

Design Philosophy

Encased in a medical-grade transparent acrylic shell with a rose-gold metallic faceplate, the Yao evokes the elegance of a classic mechanical music box. It is efficient (113dB) and easily driven by most sources, but scales magnificently with current-heavy amplifiers like the A100TB.

Yao (堯)：帝王之聲

在「音樂盒」系列中，如果說 Twins 是多面手，那麼 Yao (堯) 就是至高無上的君主。這款耳機以中國古代聖王命名，旨在統治中頻領域。它拒絕了現代耳機常見的刺耳「超解析」風格，轉而追求一種莊重、權威且極具情感的表現力。它不只是還原音樂，更是為了重現歌者的氣息與靈魂。

12 單元純動鐵架構

Yao 在單邊腔體內置入了 12 顆動鐵單元 (Balanced Armature)，構建出零失真的宏大聲牆。

• 基石 (4x 低頻)： 四顆大尺寸動鐵單元負責低頻。與動圈的物理衝擊感不同，這些單元提供極致的「速度」與「紋理」，確保複雜的低音線條清晰可辨，絕不干擾中頻。
• 靈魂 (4x 中頻)： 四顆專屬的中頻單元創造了 Yao 標誌性的「濃郁」人聲。無論男女聲，都能呈現出極少有耳機能複製的密度與厚度。
• 空氣感 (2x 高頻 + 2x 超高頻)： 四顆高音單元確保了在溫暖的基調下，聲場依然開闊且全息，高頻延伸自然流暢直達 20kHz。

4 路分頻網絡

駕馭 12 顆單元需要軍工級的精準度。我們採用了 4 路分頻、4 通道導管設計，將不同頻段的聲音在物理上隔離傳輸。這確保了高頻聲波絕不會在腔體內與低頻聲波發生干擾，從而帶來卓越的相位一致性與樂器分離度。

設計哲學

Yao 採用醫療級透明亞克力腔體，配以玫瑰金金屬面板，散發出古典機械音樂盒般的優雅氣質。它具有極高的靈敏度 (113dB)，易於驅動，但在搭配 A100TB 等大推力耳擴時，更能展現出驚人的潛力。
