Campfire Audio Announces New Andromeda 'Emerald Sea' and Solaris 'Stellar Horizon' IEMs
Campfire Audio has been extremely busy lately, first with the release of the ground-breaking Trifecta, then the release of their first ever true wireless earphones in Orbit, and now their most ambitious project yet: Introducing the all-new Andromeda 'Emerald Sea' and Solaris 'Stellar Horizon' earphones. Unlike past updates, Campfire Audio has completely redesigned both the Andromeda and Solaris from the ground up. A bold move considering how legendary these classic models are.
Using newly developed technologies and creating an enhanced ownership experience, Campfire Audio is forever looking forward; exploring new horizons for a better sounding future. Both Andromeda 'Emerald Sea' ($1,450/£1,449) and Solaris 'Stellar Horizon' ($2670/£2,669) will be available to buy from campfireaudio.com, Amazon and selected retailers worldwide including Harrods (UK) and Selfridges (UK).
Andromeda 'Emerald Sea' Five Balanced Armature Driver IEM
An all-new chapter in the story of Andromeda from Campfire Audio; Andromeda 'Emerald Sea' has been completely redesigned inside and out, drawing from their past experience, the tides of the Emerald Sea bring both fond memories and warm waves of optimism for the future. It uses an all-new machined aluminium shell in the classic Andromeda Green color but updated with a smaller shape and smooth contours to where it's the most comfortable Andromeda yet. This new shape, coupled with their new stainless-steel fasteners and MMCX capture, creates a sleek, striking, and wearable earphone while staying true to the legacy of the Campfire flagship.
New Acoustic Design
Five all-new, custom, dual-diaphragm balanced armatures bring the latest in driver technology to Andromeda with lower distortion and greater stability and resilience. Coupled with re-engineered internal acoustic geometry, and newly designed 3D-printed driver housings, this iteration of Andromeda delivers an exceptional sonic experience. Andromeda 'Emerald Sea' features an expanded acoustic range, lower sensitivity that puts the listener in control, and a sweet analogue glow to its sonic signature.
Solaris 'Stellar Horizon; Quad Hybrid Driver IEM
Solaris 'Stellar Horizon' represents a full re-envisioning of the classic Campfire Audio IEM. This top-to-bottom revolution captures the essence of what makes Solaris the legend it is today, while simultaneously elevating it to a brand-new horizon. It combines elegance and durability with precision machined, brushed stainless steel housing, which is accented by brass fasteners and MMCX capture. A custom gold PVD inlay contrasts with black, laser-cut acrylic to round out Solaris' stunning presentation and immaculate build quality.
New Acoustic Design
Revolutionizing Solaris' internal components are two new pieces of driver and driver treatment technology. Three custom dual diaphragm balanced armatures create more output, high-end extension, and less distortion. This is coupled with their new Radial Venting surrounding the 10 mm ADLC dynamic driver, creating a greater air volume and expanding the physical space in which the driver operates. This creates a greater soundstage and a more even dynamic driver performance. Ascending to a new peak of sonic performance, this iteration of Solaris creates an undeniable energetic flow. Incredible versatility means that Solaris will melt through any genre in its way. Powerful, accurate bass drives rhythm to your core. Tracks erupt into a massive chasm of soundstage, with high-end extension, detail, and imaging unprecedented in the lineage of Solaris.
As part of Campfire Audio's enhanced ownership experience, both models are supplied with an impressive amount of accessories and newly updated presentation packaging. Included in the accessories bundle, both the Andromeda and Solaris models are now supplied with new Time Stream cables. Silver-plated copper conductors with Berylium copper MMCX connectors coming in three cable types: 2.5 mm balanced, 3.5 mm stereo and 4.4 mm balanced terminations.
To complete the experience, the new Andromeda and Solaris models are both shipped in a completely unique presentation box, created individually by the Campfire Audio team in their Portland Oregon workshop. This is something that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Campfire Audio again show that they are not afraid to push boundaries, pouring their love and passion for audio and creativity into a brand-new audio experience. Uniquely transporting you to musical bliss in a way that no other earphone can. Hold tight, you're in for a wild ride.
