Effect Audio and Elysian Acoustic Labs collaborate to launch Gaea

Effect Audio, famed for its high-quality earphone cables, has teamed up with Elysian Acoustic Labs, a Malaysian manufacturer of premium In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) to introduce Gaea.

The Effect Audio X Elysian Acoustic Labs Gaea is a culmination of both collaborating entities’ acoustic technologies and design.

Elysian Acoustic Labs’ IEMs are all hand-crafted; each monitor comprises a single Dynamic Driver (DD) from Foster and four Balanced Armature (BA) drivers from Sonion, with Elysian Acoustic Labs’s proprietary DiVe Pass II. The brand’s second-generation ventilation technology features independent vents to eliminate reverberation of the back chamber and provides optimal pressure relief in the front chamber. This reduces driver-flex issues from dia­phragm compression, allowing better movement of the diaphragm and realising the dynamic driver’s full potential.

The internal components of each monitor are wired using a cable created through Effect Audio’s rigorous R&D process. Made up of a bespoke mix of materials, namely Copper and Silver-Plated Copper, the cable was specially chosen and applied to complement further and enhance the sonic quality of Gaea.

The Effect Audio x Elysian Acoustic Labs Gaea comes with a UP-OCC Copper Litz and UP-OCC Silver Plated Copper Litz ConX™ Ready cable featuring Effect Audio’s proprietary Dual Geometric design with a pair of Pentaconn Ear Interchangeable Connectors, retaining Elysian Acoustic Labs’s hallmark of using Pentaconn Ear.

Elysian Acoustic Labs also sourced the Effect Audio x Elysian Acoustic Labs Gaea’s matte Microfibre Polyurethane case which is meticulously designed, sporting custom rounded edges and black stitches, the case mirrors the shape of luxury jewelry cases, in a modern contemporary form.
