Campfire Audio Astrolith IEMs Announced
Campfire Audio's 'tip of the spear' Astrolith IEMs join its range of beautifully crafted earphones.
Campfire Audio boasts that "Astrolith represents the most refined and enhanced acoustic-shaping geometrics of any in-ear monitors on the market today."
If you want to cut to the chase, why not check out our review of Campfire Audio's Astrolith right now?
Campfire Audio is so certain about Astrolith's performance due to the company's new Additive Acoustic Optical Inclusion housing (AAOI), which means that those stunning casings offer more than just aesthetic excellence; they also contribute acoustic performance.
The stainless steel shells, hand-polished to a mirror finish, sport "optically inclusive internal chambers" within a transparent exterior. This creates a gem-like effect while also allowing a sneak peek within from various angles.
The Astrolith features custom 14.2mm planar magnetic drivers specially designed to support sub-low, low, and midrange frequencies and a custom 6mm planar magnetic tweeter for high frequencies.
Meanwhile, the brand claims that the crossover-less design and internal chambers within are carefully engineered to create precisely controlled acoustic volumes and ensure the targeted vision for sonic performance.
Campfire Audio says it has used its technical know-how to ensure the components' ability to move at incredible speeds, drawing out clean, accurate details and overall acoustic resolution that presents tracks with life-like realism and detail on every layer of your music. The manufacturer discloses an SPL of 94 dB @ 1kHz: 44.90 mVrms.
Furthermore, we are informed that Astrolith's impedance (@1K 8.2 ohm) is incredibly flat, producing the most balanced, accurate sound possible. Thanks to the use of planar technology, the IEM's voice coil has less than 0.3% harmonic distortion. The even diaphragm movement of the IEM's voice coil ensures it does not warp or bend at high volumes.
Campfire Audio states a 5 Hz - 25kHz frequency response and a THD of less than .3%.
Astrolith is bundled with a black leather folding wallet - handmade in Portugal, a 3.5mm and 4.4mm TimeStream cable, a 'Breezy Bag Micro' two-pocket mesh pouch, a selection of silicone and foam ear tips, an IEM Cleaning Tool, and Campfire Audio Lapel Pin.
Campfire Audio Astrolith is available now for £2,199/ €2,399 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
