Description
Campfire Audio Chimera
Campfire Audio Chimera could just be the finest earphones ever! Absolutely astonishing performance across the musical spectrum, hand-built in Portland, USA using the finest materials and precision manufacturing processes.
Inspired by the mythological beast, Chimera combines bone conduction, True Glass dynamic drivers, balanced armatures, and electrostatic supertweeters to deliver powerful, textured lows alongside exceptional detail, air, and speed. Housed in a resonant magnesium shell, every element is carefully tuned to create a rich, natural, and immersive listening experience.
Chimera combines four advanced driver technologies in a revolutionary nine-driver configuration for powerful bass, exceptional detail, and immersive sound.
Power, speed, & Balance
The mythological Chimera is represented by the lion, snake, and goat – it is the spirit and character of this mythological beast that is conveyed in Chimera’s astounding sonic reproduction. Bone conduction and our True Glass dynamic drivers deliver tactile, extended, and textured lows, that remain fast and accurate due to the resonant properties of Chimera’s magnesium shell and the unique structural character of the glass dynamic driver. Three premium balanced armatures and four electrostatic supertweeters create soaring detail, extension, and air with extraordinary speed and sonic richness. The natural balance of these four technologies is further emphasised through the experienced and careful acoustic treatment to effortlessly juxtapose and blend their strengths.
10mm Bone Conductor Driver
Chimera’s 10mm bone conductor is adds powerful resonance and low-frequency impact. Embedded in a custom engineered housing pocket and paired with a magnesium shell to improve conductance and create visceral physicality.
10mm True Glass Dynamic Driver
Powering low and low/mid frequencies, Chimera features an all-new True Glass DD.Created in partnership with Glass Acoustic Innovations this new dynamic driver uses specialised alkali glass processed for strength and acoustic performance.
Dual Diaphragm Balance Armature
One of the newest advancements in balanced armature technology; the dual diaphragm BA features two diaphragms connected to a single armature. Working in unison, the diaphragms impart extra sonic richness and weight while still conveying the highly regarded detail and accuracy customary to balanced armatures.
Two high-frequency balance drivers
Two premium balanced armatures work in unison to deliver crisp, accurate, lightning fast high-frequency response; revealing nuance and micro-detail with astounding realism.
Quad electrostatic super tweeters
Extending Chimera’s high frequencies to add shimmer, air, and clarity, these four drivers move with incredible precision to reproduce cymbals, reverb, delay trails, and micro detail.
