MOONDROP PSYCHE Reference 2DD + 4BA + 4Planar In-Ear Monitors

Where Traditional Craftsmanship Meets Flagship Audio

MOONDROP PSYCHE represents an ambitious fusion of traditional craftsmanship, modern aesthetics and advanced acoustic engineering.

Designed as a reference-level in-ear monitor, PSYCHE combines a highly sophisticated 2DD + 4BA + 4Planar driver configuration with an elaborate hand-crafted faceplate inspired by traditional Chinese artistry.

The result is an IEM that is designed not only to deliver exceptional sound quality, but also to serve as a distinctive collectible piece.

A Ten-Driver Reference Configuration

At the heart of PSYCHE is an advanced 10-driver-per-side architecture consisting of:

• 2 dynamic drivers
• 4 balanced armature drivers
• 4 planar drivers

These drivers are integrated using a three-way frequency crossover designed to divide the audio spectrum between the different driver technologies.

This combination allows each driver type to focus on the frequencies where its particular characteristics can be used to best effect, while the crossover architecture works to integrate the individual drivers into a cohesive full-range presentation.

Advanced Dynamic, Balanced Armature and Planar Technology

The PSYCHE’s hybrid architecture combines the physical authority and dynamic character of its dynamic drivers with the precision of balanced armature drivers and the speed and resolution of planar drivers.

Rather than relying on a single driver technology, MOONDROP has developed PSYCHE around a highly sophisticated multi-driver platform intended to provide both exceptional technical performance and an engaging musical presentation.

MOONDROP describes the result as superb sound quality created through its many years of acoustic technology development.

Hand-Crafted MITSUKIYUKI Faceplate

Perhaps the most visually distinctive aspect of PSYCHE is its extraordinary MITSUKIYUKI faceplate.

MOONDROP combines traditional craft techniques with modern artistic design to create a faceplate inspired by the aesthetics and craftsmanship of the Chinese Bronze Age.

The silver panel is individually engraved and polished through repeated processes, with rose gold and yellow gold hand-inlaid into the engraved grooves.

The artwork depicts MITSUKIYUKI, a maiden whose story represents overcoming hardship in the pursuit of true love and spiritual joy.

This painstaking process makes every PSYCHE an unusually elaborate piece of craftsmanship rather than simply another mass-produced IEM.

A Unique Audiophile Collectible

PSYCHE occupies a space somewhere between high-end audio component and collectible artwork.

Its combination of intricate traditional craftsmanship, precious-metal detailing and advanced multi-driver acoustic technology gives it a distinctive character that sets it apart from conventional IEMs.

For collectors and serious audiophiles, PSYCHE offers something particularly unusual: an IEM whose visual craftsmanship is intended to be every bit as noteworthy as its acoustic engineering.

Three-Way Frequency Crossover

The ten drivers in PSYCHE are integrated through a three-way frequency crossover.

The crossover architecture divides the frequency spectrum between the different driver groups, allowing the dynamic, balanced armature and planar drivers to work within their respective operating ranges.

This complex architecture is designed to produce a coherent and highly resolving full-range presentation.

Exceptional Resolution and Extended Frequency Response

PSYCHE has a published frequency response of 7Hz–46kHz, extending well beyond the conventional audible range.

MOONDROP specifies an effective frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz ±3dB according to the IEC60318-4 measurement standard.

With a specified THD of ≤1% at 1kHz and 94dB, PSYCHE is engineered for clean and highly detailed reproduction.

4.4mm Fully Balanced Connection

PSYCHE uses a detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable terminated with a 4.4mm fully balanced plug.

The balanced connection makes PSYCHE an excellent match for modern high-resolution digital audio players, balanced headphone amplifiers and portable DAC/amps equipped with 4.4mm outputs.
