When good enough
isn’t enough anymore
Maybe you’ve tried several high-end IEMs. Maybe you’re ready to make your first serious investment in sound. Either way, you’re here because you’re looking for something more.
Incognita was born from a simple question: what if we took everything we learned about perfect sound and pushed it further? What if we broke free from conventional thinking and created something that would surprise even the most experienced listeners?
The result is not just another upgrade - it’s a complete reimagining of what’s possible. With its dual-membrane architecture and advanced filtering system, Incognita doesn’t just meet expectations - it creates new ones. Whether you’re coming from mid-fi IEMs, our own Terra, or other summit-fi monitors, prepare to hear your music in ways you never imagined possible.
This isn’t about incremental improvements. This is about redefining your relationship with sound.
“Small differences in the beginning can lead to enormously different consequences”
Seven Drivers
Sometimes the most profound innovations come from rethinking the basics. While most IEMs use a single acoustic filter - typically placed either near the driver or at the output - we took a different path.
Our PrecisionFlow™ Architecture introduces dual acoustic filters, precisely positioned at critical points in the sound path. Like skilled sound engineers working in harmony, these filters delicately remove unwanted high-frequency resonances while preserving the natural character of the music.
The result is something remarkable: sound that becomes warmer and more natural, without losing any detail. It’s like listening to your music through a magnifying glass - you hear more, but without any fatigue or harshness. Even during long listening sessions at higher volumes, the music remains engaging and never irritating.
This is what happens when we challenge conventional wisdom. When we find new ways to let music reveal its full beauty.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
Dual Membrane Bass
Two 8mm dual-membrane dynamic drivers work in perfect synchronization, delivering unprecedented bass depth and texture while maintaining precise control.
Two vented Knowles balanced armature drivers handle the critical low-mids, providing the fundamental body of instruments and natural weight to vocals.
Another pair of vented Knowles BAs covers mids and upper-mids, where vocals and instruments reveal their true character.

The story beyond
When experience meets intuition
Success often presents an interesting challenge. After Terra’s reception exceeded our expectations, we found ourselves at a crossroads. The logical path would have been simple refinement - add a driver or two, slightly adjust the tuning. It would have been safe. Expected. But sometimes the most interesting discoveries happen when you listen carefully - not just to the music, but to the people who love it.
The Development Journey:
While Terra was still in prototype phase, we received extensive feedback from our testing community. These weren’t just reviews - they were thoughtful observations from people who really understood sound. We noticed patterns emerging. Different listeners, in different places, were picking up on similar themes. This wasn’t just random feedback - there was wisdom in these collective observations.
The Listening Sessions:
During our evaluation sessions, we started noticingsomething fascinating about how different IEMs performed at various listening levels. Some excelled at lower volumes, revealing intricate details and nuances. Others seemed to “come alive” at higher volumes, showing their true character only when pushed a bit harder. This observation led us to explore the Fletcher-Munson curves - how our hearing sensitivity changes with volume levels.
We wanted Incognita to excel particularly at those moments when you want to feel the full power of your music. This meant creating a sound that was fuller, more organic, with perfect control over high frequencies even at higher volumes. Not to damage hearing, mind you, but to deliver that sense of power when you want it.
The Integration Challenge:
Bringing all these elements together presented a fascinating engineering puzzle. Each driver’s behavior affected every other driver in the system. The interaction between the dual dynamic bass system and the midrange drivers was particularly crucial. We discovered that precise control over the low frequencies actually improved midrange clarity - the mids didn’t have to “fight” against uncontrolled bass energy.
The Final Balance:
What emerged was something that maintained Terra’s DNA while pushing further in several key directions. The dual-membrane bass drivers, working in perfect synchronization, created a foundation with more texture and detail against a notably darker background. The midrange became fuller and more organic, while the high frequencies, thanks to our acoustic filtering system, remained detailed but never harsh.
This is what happens when you let experience guide intuition. When you take the time to listen - not just to the music, but to the people who love it. Some-3times the path forward isn’t about revolution, but about careful evolution in exactly the right direction.

DualCore™ Bass engine
There’s a beautiful paradox in high-end audio systems: sometimes two subwoofers create not just better bass, but more musical bass. It’s about the way they work together, supporting and complementing each other.
Our DualCore™ Bass Engine brings this harmony to the world of IEMs. Two carefully matched 8mm dynamic drivers work in intimate synchronization, revealing nuances that a single driver might miss. Like two cellists playing in perfect harmony, each adds depth and texture to the other’s performance.
The result is bass that serves the music in ways we’ve always dreamed of. You’ll hear the subtle variations in finger pressure on bass strings, feel the natural decay of kick drums, experience the full body of an acoustic bass. Every note has its own character, its own story to tell.
This is what happens when technology serves music. When engineering becomes an art form in service of something greater.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
The Science of Dual Membrane Bass
DualCore™ Bass Engine represents a unique approach to bass reproduction, combining two different materials in a coaxial configuration:
Driver Architecture: - Two 8mm membranes working in perfect synchronization - Graphene membrane paired with Carbon nanotube membrane - Powerful magnet system providing precise control - Coaxial arrangement for perfect phase alignment
What makes this configuration special is its full-range driver heritage. While the acoustic design focuses these drivers on bass frequencies, their inherent full-range capabilitie contribute to exceptional texture reproduction - a quality
typically absent in pure bass drivers.
This unique characteristic creates an interesting paradox: bass that combines the massive physical impact of dynamic drivers with the sort of detail and texture typically associated with balanced armature designs. The dual-membrane architecture, supported by the powerful magnet system, ensures both power and precision remain in perfect balance.

Sometimes you need to look back to move forward
The search for perfect bass started with a simple observation: bigger isn’t always better.
The Stage Experience:
Long before Lime Ears existed, Emil’s experience as a bass player gave him unique insights into low frequency reproduction. Playing through various bass cabinets, he noticed something fascinating: some of the most impressive bass systems didn’t rely on massive speakers. Instead, they used multiple smaller drivers working together - configurations like 8x10” or even 24x6” speakers. These systems could deliver incredibly powerful bass, but their real magic was in the speed and precision that came from using lighter, more agile drivers working in harmony.
The Search:
When developing Incognita, we started where most would expect testing larger dynamic drivers. The conventional wisdom suggested that bigger drivers meant better bass. But something wasn’t quite right. While larger drivers could move more air, they often lacked the speed and texture we were looking for.
Then came an interesting discovery. We found a unique dual-membrane 8mm driver that caught our attention. What made it special wasn’t its size - it was its architecture. Two membranes, each made from different materials, working together in a single housing. The effective surface area matched that of an 11mm driver, but with two separate voice coils and magnet systems providing precise control.
The Breakthrough:
During testing, we noticed something remarkable. The dual-membrane design created what we can only describe as a “darker background” for the bass. If sound were an image, it was like projecting it onto a deeper, richer black surface. The bass had more defined structure, more apparent detail - not because it was necessarily more detailed, but because those details were easier to perceive against this darker acoustic background.
The Unexpected Discovery:
This observation challenged some conventional wis-dom. Bass is often considered omnidirectional due to its long wavelengths, whichis why many systems use a single, central subwoofer. Yet our listening experi-ences with Incognita revealed something fascinating - bass instruments seemedto have more precise spatial positioning.
We believe this might be connected to how our brains process musical information. While low frequencies themselves might be omnidirectional, bass instruments also generate higher frequencies that our brains use for localization. When a bass guitar is reproduced through a driver capable of handling a wider frequency range - even if ultimately filtered - these subtle localization cues seem to be better preserved.
The Implementation Challenge: Having an exceptional driver was just the beginning. The real technology lies in its implementation - the acoustic chambers, sound guides, and filtering that allow it to perform at its best. We spent months ensuring this dual-membrane system would integrate perfectly with the rest of Incognita’s drivers, measuring, tuning, and testing until everything worked in harmony.
The Result:
What emerged was something that changed our own understanding of what’s possible in IEM bass reproduction. The DualCore™ Bass Engine doesn’t just produce more bass - it creates a fundamentally different quality of bass. Notes have more apparent texture and detail against that darker back- ground, while maintaining surprisingly precise spatial positioning.
This is what happens when you let experience guide innovation, when you’re not afraid to explore unexpected territories and learn something new, even after years of development. Sometimes the most interesting discoveries come when you allow yourself to be surprised by what you hear.”

The Art of Acoustic Control
Our PrecisionFlow™ Architecture challenges conventional IEM design philosophy. Instead of relying on a single acoustic filter, we implement a dual-filter system at carefully calculated positions.
The primary filter near the drivers controls initial acoustic behavior, while the secondary filter at the output fine-tunes the final frequency response. The precise distance between filters and optimized chamber volumes create a perfectly controlled acoustic environment.
This dual-stage approach provides more natural high-frequency roll-off and reduces unwanted resonances, working like a masterfully tuned concert hall where every reflection point is carefully calculated.

How acoustic engineering wisdom found new purpose
Sometimes the most valuable insights come from unexpectedplaces. Before Lime Ears, Emil spent years designing acoustic solutions forconcert halls, ventilation systems, and industrial noise control. Each projectwas a lesson in how sound behaves in different environments, how it can beshaped and controlled. But he never imagined those experiences would lead toa breakthrough in IEM design.
The Concert Hall Connection:
Designing concert halls teaches you something crucial about acoustics: it’s not just about dampening sound - it’s about shaping it. Every surface, every material, every geometric detail plays its role. The challenge isn’t eliminating reflections entirely; it’s controlling them to enhance the musical experience.
The Ventilation Insight:
Working with industrial ventilation systems provided another crucial lesson. In both ventilation and automotive applications, single-point acoustic treatment rarely provides optimal results. Multiple, strategically placed acoustic elements working together can achieve what a single, more aggressive treatment cannot.
The Observation:
While developing Incognita, we were particularly focused on how the IEM would perform at higher listening levels. We knew from studying Fletcher-Munson curves that our hearing sensitivity changes with volume. At higher volumes, we needed more precise control over the frequency response to maintain natural sound character while preserving detail.
This led us to question the conventional approach of using a single acoustic filter in IEMs. Traditional designs typically place one filter either near the driver or at the output. But our experience with architectural acoustics suggested that multiple, precisely positioned acoustic elements might offer better control.
The Development:
Implementing dual acoustic filters in an IEM required careful consideration. While we used proven acoustic dampers, the innovation wasn’t in inventing new materials - it was in how we used them. Each damper has different acoustic properties, and finding the right combination and positioning was crucial. The conventional approach of using a single filter provides limited control, but two carefully selected filters working together created possibilities we hadn’t expected.
The Integration:
What makes PrecisionFlow™ special isn’t the complexity of its components - it’s the elegance of their implementation. The dual filters work together with our VariBore™ system to create optimal acoustic conditions for both the DualCore™ Bass Engine and HERO™ Super Tweeter. It’s like creating a perfectly tuned acoustic environment in miniature, where each element serves a specific purpose in shaping the final sound.
The Result:
What we achieved wasn’t just technical refinement - it was a fundamental improvement in how music flows through the IEM. The dual-filter system provides more natural high-frequency control without sacrificing detail or air. Even at higher volumes, the sound remains engaging and fatigue-free, allowing you to really feel the power of your music when you want to.
This is what happens when you bring together different fields of acoustic expertise. When you let years of experience in architectural acoustics inform the design of something as intimate as an IEM. Sometimes the best solutions come from bridging different worlds of sound.”

HERO™ Super Tweeter
Remember that magical tingle when live cymbals shimmer in the air? Or how a vocalist’s breath can make the hair on your neck stand up? These precious moments happen when high frequencies are reproduced perfectly.
Our HERO™ Super Tweeter makes these magical moments possible in a way you’ve never experienced before. Instead of forcing high frequencies through tiny tubes like traditional designs, we created something different - a precision slot that lets music flow as naturally as it does from the finest concert speakers.
In Incognita, this special technology works with our acoustic filtering system to create something extraordinary. Imagine hearing every delicate detail in your music, but with a smoothness that lets you listen for hours. Vocal harmonics float in the air like gossamer.

Where innovation meets musical truth
High frequencies are perhaps the most challenging aspect of sound reproduction. They carry crucial information about space, air, and musical texture, but they’re also where many systems reveal their limitations. Our journey to perfect high frequency reproduction led us to question some fundamental assumptions about IEM design.
The Traditional Challenge:
Conventional balanced armature drivers typically use a round port that forces high frequencies through a narrow tube. While this approach works, it often creates subtle resonances that our ears perceive as harshness - especially at higher listening levels. We wanted something fundamentally different.
The Breakthrough:
Instead of accepting traditional constraints, we took inspiration from professional audio - specifically, the way line array systems and ribbon tweeters handle high frequencies. This led to the development of our HERO™ (High Efficiency and Resolution Output) Super Tweeter, first implemented in Terra and now refined for Incognita’s more ambitious architecture.
The innovation lies in the driver placement and output design. Instead of using a traditional round port, we developed a precision slot design, positioning the modified Knowles RAU driver directly in the nozzle. This new generation driver, capable of extending to 25kHz, creates a more even wavefront - similar to how professional ribbon tweeters distribute sound in concert systems.
The Physics:
At very high frequencies, where wavelengths become comparable to the dimensions of the ear canal (around 3mm at quarter-wavelength), the way sound is delivered becomes crucial. Our slot design creates a more uniform sound distribution throughout the ear canal, significantly reducing unwanted resonances that can lead to listening fatigue.
The Integration:
In Incognita, the HERO™ Super Tweeter takes on even greater significance. Working in harmony with our enhanced bass system and Precision- Flow™ architecture, it maintains its exceptional clarity and detail while adding an organic quality that becomes particularly apparent at higher listening levels. Where conventional tweeters might become harsh or aggressive, HERO™ maintains its composure, delivering extraordinary detail with natural ease.
The Experience:
What makes this implementation special isn’t just its technical performance - it’s how it serves the music. Cymbals maintain their complex shimmer without becoming aggressive. Vocal harmonics float in space with natural presence. Even at higher volumes, when you want to feel the full impact of your music, the high frequencies remain detailed and engaging without ever becoming fatiguing.
This is what happens when you let professional audio experience inform personal audio design. When you look beyond conventional solutions to find something that simply works better. Sometimes the best way forward is to completely rethink how things are done.
VARIBORE™ Design
Just as a master violin maker shapes each curve of the instrument to let music flow freely, we’ve crafted every internal path in Incognita with absolute precision.
Our VariBore™ design takes this art to new heights. Each acoustic channel is carefully sized and shaped - down to fractions of a millimeter - to let frequencies travel their optimal path. Working in harmony with our dual filter system, these precisely calculated pathways ensure that every note, from the deepest bass to the highest shimmer, reaches your ears exactly as it should.
The result is music that feels completely unconstricted. You’ll hear vocals with startling presence, instruments with perfect separation, and a soundstage that extends far beyond what you thought possible from earphones. Complex passages remain clear and coherent, while subtle details emerge naturally from the mix.
This is what happens when engineering precision serves musical emotion.
“The river shapes itself to the path of least resistance.”
Sound Path Engineering
VariBore™ represents our approach to acoustic path optimization, now enhanced by integration with PrecisionFlow™.
The Challenge:
Different frequencies require different conditions for optimal propagation. High frequencies are sensitive to tube diameter due to air friction, while low frequencies benefit from specific acoustic loading characteristics.
Our Solution:
Custom bore diameter for each frequency range - Calculated acoustic path lengths - Precise integration with dual-filter system - Strategic damping placement.
Working together with PrecisionFlow™, this advanced implementation creates a perfectly controlled environment for each part of the frequency spectrum.

When every detail serves the music
Some principles in audio remain constant, but their implementation must evolve with each new design. Our VariBore™ technology repre- sents not just a solution, but a philosophy about how sound should travel from driver to ear.
The Foundation:
The core insight behind VariBore™ remains unchanged since its first implementation: different frequencies need different conditions to travel optimally. Just as a master violin maker shapes each curve of their instrument with purpose, we carefully calculate and shape every acoustic path in our IEMs.
The Evolution:
In Incognita, VariBore™ takes on new significance. Working in harmony with our PrecisionFlow™ dual-filter system and DualCore™ Bass Engine, each bore diameter and acoustic path length was carefully measured and tested to serve the unique character we were pursuing. This wasn’t about simply applying an existing solution - it was about adapting our philosophy to create something specific and purposeful.
The Integration:
What makes VariBore™ special isn’t just the concept of vari- able acoustic paths - it’s how we implement it in service of each specific design. In Incognita, every measurement, every calculation, every design decision was made with one goal: to let the enhanced capabilities of our driver system express themselves fully and naturally.
The attention to detail goes beyond simple acoustic theory. Each pathway is precisely calculated to work with our dual-filter system, creating a coherent acoustic environment where each frequency range can travel optimally. This isn’t about following a formula - it’s about adapting and optimizing for the specific character we wanted to achieve.
The Result:
The final implementation in Incognita represents something special - a perfect marriage of proven philosophy with specific purpose. High frequencies retain their natural air and space. Midrange frequencies maintain their organic character. Low frequencies develop with power and precision. Every frequency finds its ideal path, working together to serve the music.
This is what happens when you let philosophy guide technology, but never let it restrict innovation. When you understand that principles must serve purpose, and that every implementation must be carefully considered and optimized for its specific goal.

From ideas to reality
Each Incognita begins its journey just like Terra - as a block of aerospace-grade aluminum. While the technical process remains similar, our thoughts and intentions took us in a slightly different direction.
The Technical Process:
We use every available method to ensure precision and consistency. CNC machines shape the external form, while inside, DLP 3D printing technology creates a precise network of acoustic channels. Each element has its carefully calculated place and purpose.
The Journey to the Name:
The word ‘Incognita’ emerged naturally while thinking about Terra. Sitting around, discussing how to develop our product line, we remembered the term ‘Terra Incognita’ - unknown lands. We liked that association. If Terra represents the known world, could Incognita be a step into the unknown?
Thoughts About Color:
When considering colors, black felt like a natural choice. In our imagination, it symbolized those undiscovered territories. The red accents? They reminded us of volcanic lava creating new islands in the ocean. Maybe it’s too poetic an association, but we liked it - this idea of something new emerging from primal force.
The Nameless Decision:
At some point, we had this idea to leave the model name off the faceplate. We always included it on other models, but this time… something tempted us to leave that space clean. It’s our little play on the name - after all, ‘incognito’ means being unidentified.
The Integration:
Behind all these ideas lies solid engineering, of course. The housing needs to accommodate our most advanced systems - DualCore™, PrecisionFlow™, HERO™ Super Tweeter - each requiring precise positioning and integration.
The Result:
What we created is, first and foremost, earphones for listening to music. But using the possibilities that different materials and finishing methods offer, we tried to create something that might inspire users the way it inspired us during the creation process. Maybe you’ll see what we see in them - this journey into the unknown. Or maybe they’ll mean something completely different to you. And you know what? That’s perfectly fine.
For us, Incognita isn’t just another product. It represents how we like to think about creating things - with attention to detail, but also with openness to unex- pected associations and ideas. We invite you to discover your own interpretation - or simply enjoy your favorite music in the best way possible.
Sound character
When we first started tuning Incognita, we found ourselves rediscovering our favorite test tracks. Songs we thought we knew by heart suddenly revealed new layers of detail. The experience reminded us why we fell in love with music in the first place.
The foundation feels powerful yet controlled - bass notes carry real physical weight, but never at the expense of clarity. When we listen to acoustic bass, we can hear fingers moving on strings, the wood resonating, the air moving. Electronic bass lines show texture and detail we didn’t know existed in the recording.
What fascinates us most is how the midrange and treble work together. Voices feel intimate and present, while maintaining a natural warmth that lets you listen for hours. High frequencies reveal details with remarkable clarity, yet there’s never a hint of harshness or fatigue. Even at higher volumes, the music just flows.
For us, this is what high-end audio is about - not just hearing more, but feeling closer to the music. Every time we listen, we notice something new, something that makes us smile with recognition.
“Music is the silence between the notes.”

The story beyond
Where warmth meets detail
The journey to define Incognita’s sound character started with a question: how do we create something warmer and more organic while maintaining all the detail and clarity we’re known for?
The Listening Journey:
During development, we spent countless hours exploring how different types of music behave at various listening levels. Modern electronic productions, intimate acoustic recordings, complex classical pieces - each presenting its own challenges and opportunities. We noticed something interesting: many IEMs seem optimized for either low-level critical listening or high-volume enjoyment, but rarely both.
The Bass Foundation:
Our dual-driver bass system revealed something fascinating. The warmth and power were there, as expected, but what surprised us was how it maintained its composure and detail even at higher volumes. It’s not just about quantity - it’s about how the bass integrates with the rest of the music, providing foundation without overwhelming other elements.
The Vocal Balance:
We took special care with vocal presentation. Instead of pushing vocals forward aggressively, we aimed for a more natural position in the mix. The result is vocals that feel present and intimate without dominating the sound space - they sit exactly where they should, allowing you to focus on them when you want to, or let them blend naturally with the music.
The Detail Question:
One of our biggest challenges was maintaining detail while pursuing a warmer, more organic sound. Traditional wisdom suggests these goals might conflict - warmer often means less detail, clearer often means cooler. But by carefully implementing our PrecisionFlow™ system and HERO™ tweeter, we found we could have both. The detail is all there, but it’s presented in a more natural, less analytical way.
The Volume Journey:
Understanding how our hearing sensitivity changes with volume (Fletcher-Munson curves) helped us create something that remains engaging at different listening levels. At lower volumes, you still get all the detail and texture. Turn it up, and instead of becoming harsh, the sound opens up, revealing new layers while maintaining that organic character.
The Musical Versatility:
What emerged surprised even us. Whether it’s the complex layering of modern electronic music, the delicate nuances of acoustic recordings, or the full scale of classical pieces, Incognita adapts to serve the music. It’s not about having different sound signatures for different genres - it’s about having an earphone that respects the character of each recording, presenting it with both technical excellence and emotional authenticity.
