XVIVE T9 In-Ear Monitors

Product overview

The XVIVE T9 In-Ear Monitors are hand-assembled, sound-isolating earphones with dual balanced-armature drivers, designed to offer pro-level audio quality previously only available from custom in-ears.

Each earpiece pairs one of the industry's largest and most powerful mid-bass drivers with a custom-tuned, custom-ported micro tweeter and a custom unified crossover. The T9 comes perfectly balanced, with a responsive and detailed sound signature that is not overly hyped or coloured, and has the headroom for whatever EQ adjustments a user may want. A 3.5 mm earphone jack (with a 1/4 inch adapter) and durable, replaceable cables make it compatible with all systems.

Key features

• Dual balanced-armature drivers: a mid-bass driver and a custom-tuned micro tweeter
• Custom unified crossover sends each driver only the frequencies it was designed to reproduce
• Hand-assembled, sound-isolating earphones
• 3.5 mm earphone jack, compatible with all systems; 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch adapter included
• Durable, replaceable cables
• Three sizes of ear tips in red and yellow silicone plus black memory foam
• Carrying case and cleaning tool included

Sounds good

The two balanced-armature drivers and the custom unified crossover give the T9 a balanced, detailed sound right out of the box, so audiophiles enjoy a fulfilling listening experience while performers hear every detail of their mix. Frequency response is 20 Hz - 16.5 kHz (+/- 3 dB), with 59 Ω impedance, 120 dB sensitivity and less than 0.2 % total harmonic distortion at 1 kHz.

High-performing

The T9 is an invaluable tool for performing live musicians, and is also perfectly suited to in-studio tracking and mixing. It pairs perfectly with XVIVE's in-ear monitor wireless systems: XVIVE sells it with the U4 as the U4T9 set and with the U45 as the U45T9 set.

Fit and comfort

Small, medium and large ear tips of pliable rubber are included; the red and yellow colours, one per side, help identify right and left. A good acoustic seal gives maximum bass: if bass seems lacking, push the earphone gently deeper into the ear canal or try another tip size. Wearing the cable over the ear and securing it behind the head helps keep the earphones in place during physical activity; match the L and R markings when connecting the cables.

Are the cables replaceable?

Yes. The T9 has durable, replaceable cables; match the L and R markings when connecting them (the red cable adapter is right).

How should the T9 be cleaned?

Keep earphones and ear tips clean and dry, clean the output tubes with the included cleaning tool, wipe the ear tips with water and clean the earphones with a dry cloth, without alcohol-based disinfectants.
