The Tripowin Piccolo uses the latest advancements in dynamic drivers that features the third generation liquid crystal polymer (LCP) diaphragm. Despite its name, LCP is a solid material formed by an intensive processing of polymer film sheets for crystallization and crosslinking of the polymers.

 

Our LCP diaphragms undergo the same process and utilize similar material used in Kevlar. In the past, LCP diaphragms were favored due to their high transient speeds, but suffered from lower resolving power and harsh treble sibilance. The latest generation of LCP diaphragm has been designed to be thinner, measuring at a mere couple dozen micrometers thick, while maintaining the same density. This allows even greater diaphragm responsiveness at lower total harmonic distortion.

 

 

Excellent treble extension is thus effectively achieved while removing the harshness in the treble. The overall acoustic resolution and tonal balance is further enhanced compared to previous generation drivers.

Balanced Sound

The Piccolo has been tuned according to a modified tonal standard. The bass is well extended into the subbass region, and remains strong at 8dB until 300Hz. This gives plenty of bass power and presence, without altering the natural timbre of the mids. The mids are neutral to present a monitor-like realistic body to instruments and vocals, without coloring the sound. To bring about complete balance to the tonal range, the treble has been compensated to perfectly match the human ear’s pinna, and delivers a pleasant, yet well-extended treble response. The natural tonal balance of the Piccolo makes it perfect for any genre of music.

Detachable High-purity Cable

The Piccolo comes standard with a detachable 2-pin 0.78mm cable. The cable is constructed of high-purity OCC copper, and is ready to deliver a transparent sound free of any distortions. The detachable cable also extends the longevity of the earphones, as you can simply swap out the cable to any similar 2-pin cable in the future.
