Redefining the meaning of “full-range sound” in portable high-end audio, Solo expertly covers the entire sonic spectrum with a single planar driver. The final note in our legendary tia™ line of UIEMs has been years in the making. Staying true to the tech-disruptive legacy of Fourté, Trio, and Duo, we looked to the past for innovative solutions to the modern challenge of tuning a single driver. In addition to a traditional electronic filter that subtly shifts the tonal balance, we have introduced the world’s first Helmholtz resonator in an IEM.
Packed with an unbelievable 18 balanced armature drivers per side, U18t is our top-of-the-line reference in-ear monitor. This industry-first design sits right at the boundary of what is physically possible in a UIEM. Released and developed alongside Fourté in 2016 it is the first IEM to integrate our patented tia technology with conventional IEM design, utilizing the tia high driver and single sound bore. This astonishingly complex system results in incredible detail, extension, and unmatched clarity across all frequencies.

Sound
"This is a fast set that is still smooth, similar to driving a V8 luxury car at 60 MPH without noticing any of the road noise or bumps."
– VSG (TechPowerUp)
"Overall, the U18t is 64 Audio’s more tonally balanced and linear monitor, with reference-like tuning. Like the Fourté, it outputs outstanding levels of micro-detailing, intelligibility and air to give it that signature top-end sound."
– Smit Patel (Positive Feedback)
"The sound results are completely convincing and meet the highest demands of stage musicians, sound engineers and audiophile music listeners without restrictions."
– Ulf Kaiser (Headphone Check)
The 14.2mm planar driver’s acoustic chamber integrates two Helmholtz resonators, meticulously tuned to acoustically sculpt its frequency response. This chamber is also engineered to include our apex core design, expertly relieving pneumatic pressure and enhancing the sense of physical space to a degree never before experienced in a single-driver IEM. Combined with our patented LID technology, all of these innovations are housed in our most striking design update since the introduction of Fourté in 2016. These elements unite to deliver a sound that is quintessentially 64 Audio, combining the exceptionally detailed transient response of planar technology with an unexpectedly robust low-frequency presence.
U18t achieves its quick bass response, while retaining enough sub-bass amplitude, by coupling eight modified mid-drivers for the low frequency band rather than using fewer/larger drivers. Another eight low-mid drivers are required to match that amplitude in the mids. The one high-mid + one tia high driver combination became the basis for 90% of our entire product range. The extremely accurate response of U18t makes it perfect for critical audiophile listeners as well as mixing and mastering engineers. Aluminum billet shells precisely milled into our signature ergonomic shape. The PVD Stainless Steel faceplates are finished with an Imperial Red enamel like chip inlay.

Patented Technology
Tubeless In-Ear Audio is a patented IEM design methodology that aims to reduce unwanted resonance and distortion for a transparent and lifelike sound signature. The tia system consists of three major elements: open balanced armature tia drivers, the tia single-bore design, and tia acoustic chambers. Volür features two major elements of the tia system: the tia driver and the tia single-bore design.
Tubeless In-Ear Audio (tia) is a patented IEM design methodology that aims to reduce unwanted resonance and distortion for a transparent and lifelike sound signature. The tia system is comprised of three major elements: open balanced armature tia drivers, the tia single-bore design, and tia acoustic chambers. U18t features two major elements of the tia system: the tia driver and the tia single-bore design.

U18t features two major elements of the tia system: the tia driver and the tia single-bore design.
Adding to our list of innovations, we implement our patented pressure-relieving technology in the form of apex core, elevating this design to new levels of fidelity and spatial acuity. Because Solo’s acoustic chamber includes our integrated apex core technology, we achieve a similar fit and comfort to that of the Duo. The design offers just enough isolation to allow the listener to focus on the audio while feeling so unoccluded that you may initially wonder if you have a proper seal. This ensures hours of comfortable listening, made possible by our patented technology.
Air Pressure Exchange (Apex) is a patented vent that releases air pressure in a sealed ear canal all while retaining standard IEM levels of isolation; enabling musicians and music enthusiasts to listen more comfortably for longer. This venting alleviates listener fatigue and allows for a much more realistic soundstage. Apex comes in four module variations for U18t: mX, m12, m15 and an exclusive PVD coated stainless steel m20 module.

Linear Impedance Design (LID) is a patented circuit that compensates for the non-linear electrical resistance resulting from Solo’s electronic shelf filter. Variations in source amplifier output impedance in devices like smartphones, body packs, DAC/amps, and DAPs typically lead to changes in frequency response. LID restores proper interaction with the source, preserving the intended sound signature and ensuring consistent, reliable performance.

Featured Technology
Rather than constricting the sound of the drivers by fitting a tube onto them, Duo’s complete Tia System reduces unwanted resonance and distortion by allowing the 9mm Dynamic Driver + Tia High Driver to radiate freely into the single large Tia bore with no obstructions to the front of the drivers.
Apex Core is a deeper understanding of air movement within an earphone system. Duo’s faceplate features a striking perforated grill that leaves the shell of the IEM open to the outside atmosphere for a less obstructed airflow resulting in an effortless reproduction of music and minimal physical fatigue.
Due to the high crossover point between the two drivers, Wave Sync was developed to ensure coherence; another industry first. By using a type of “all-pass” filter, we’re able to introduce a crossover while correcting for time without having to change the physical distance between the drivers.
Sound
The agile performance expected of a planar driver achieves maximum realism by extracting subtle details in the music. These transients emerge from the mix, seamlessly keeping pace with your focus on the primary elements of the song. Our acoustic notch filters are strategically placed to eliminate sharpness without compromising driver performance.
Apex core assists the high-mid and high frequencies in creating a vast sonic landscape, even in very complex mixes. Alongside this realism comes a tactile immersion in the textures of instruments and even the sonic characteristics of the recording equipment used in your favorite tracks. By intentionally shaping the overall response of Solo, we achieve a bass that has substantial impact and deep sub-bass presence.
