EFFECT AUDIO GENESIS DRIVERS
The dual stands for air conduction via the regular drivers (5Hz to 20kHz) and bone conduction to generate that deeper and almost tactile tone that might not be possible with dynamic drivers alone. Then you have that Weapon X Bone Conduction Ultra Driver as a ‘layer’ right across the level response curve, 5Hz-35kHz, via Empire Ears’ new Dual Conduction Architecture. The driver grouping is a dual Weapon IX+ subwoofer for the lows and 5 BA for the mids and highs. Instead of a mix of dynamic, BA, and electrostatic as found in the flagship Odin, you get a blend of dynamic, BA, and a brand new bone conduction driver system with a 9-Way synX Crossover Network. The Legend EVO is a hybrid universal monitor consisting of 8 drivers with 3 different flavors. copyright Empire Ears 2021 Technical Highlights Dual Conduction Architecture
It is not cheap but let me tell you, there is nothing that I know of that sounds like the Legend EVO, nothing. Well, here comes the new Legend EVO boasting of multiple Weapon IX+ drivers and a bone conduction system to boot to satisfy my curiosity.Īt $3099 it is the penultimate monitor in Empire Ear’s revamped lineup just behind the Odin.
That sucks because after hearing the Valkyrie MKI and MKII Weapon X+ woofers let loose I had a penchant for ‘huge bass’ in at least one flagship monitor in the office. The ironic thing is I never got to hear the Legend X ever again.
It turns out it was hugely popular, the ultimate basshead experience at the time without sacrificing a technical performance level demanded from high-end monitors. I went with the Phantom but at the same time, I couldn’t help but wonder how popular the Legend X might be. I had 2 choices for a review project with Empire Ears during CanJam Singapore 2018: either go with the Phantom or go with the Legend X.
