What are balanced armature drivers?

Inside balanced armature drivers is a small, thin piece of metal called an armature. The armature sits inside a wire coil which is suspended between two magnets. With the armature fixed at one end, an audio signal is sent through the coil as an electric current. This causes the armature to fluctuate rapidly between the magnets moving thousands of times per second. The movement is sent to the diaphragm and as the diaphragm moves, sound waves are produced.

Balanced armature drivers are not a new technology and saw their initial use primarily in hearing aides where their specificity is helpful in tuning to individual hearing needs. As in-ear monitors have become more widespread, the use of balanced armatures in them has increased as a way of preserving hearing and creating sound profiles built for an array of music professionals.  

Why balanced armature drivers?

Balanced armatures are precision tuned to a particular frequency range which allows for superior isolation. Each driver is dedicated to expressing the details within that range as opposed to a single dynamic driver which conveys a wider frequency range. They are smaller in size than dynamic drivers which allows them to be combined in a single earphone to create a rich and varied sound while providing speed, accuracy, and tonality.
