Empire Ears Nemesis Universal

The Nemesis is the penultimate model in Empire Ear’s X Series hybrid IEM line-up. Designed to capture the excitement of a live performance, the Nemesis exemplifies U.S. based Empire Ears’ attention to detail. Every Empire Ears IEM incorporates their SynX Crossover technology, which employs complex multi-way crossovers to divide frequencies between drivers, allowing for precise tuning and minimal phase distortion. Empire Ears also coats the internal parts of their earphones with a unique Anti-Resonance Compound that increases mass damping on the driver units and decreases resonances. These technologies allow for a cleaner, more precise sound.

The Nemesis shares many qualities with the flagship X-Series IEM, the Legend X. With its 5 driver array, including 2 proprietary W9 subwoofers, the Nemesis combines thunderous impactful bass with excitable, quick and detailed high frequencies. Soundstaging is expansive and precise. This is a fantastic IEM for electronic music. The Phantom has a more natural, balanced sound, whilst the Legend X has more detailed and controlled high frequencies – but the Nemesis captures much of the magic of Empire’s flagship models.

Empire Ears Universal IEMs come with high quality, 2-pin double braided cables from the famed Singapore-based Effect Audio, as well as high quality silicone ear-tips from the Japanese company Final Audio. Despite the amount of technology packed into each unit, Empire Ears IEMS are lightweight and comfortable. The Nemesis is also available from Mindisc as a custom model matched to your ears and design preferences.
