Hey everyone, I recently released my first collaboration IEM, the DUNU Mirai, so I thought it’d be a fun opportunity to answer some questions about what shaped its development. I’ll also be happy to take questions about anything else pertaining to audio!
Can you share your impression of Mirai compared to U12T and Sony Ier m9 ?
Does it sound lean thin and bright or thicker and natural in general?
how is the bass and vocals does is it sound like Audeze lcd 3? I’m still dreaming of iem that sound like lcd 3.
So I think a lot of people were expecting a 64A-esque tuning, but I ended up taking the Mirai in something of a different direction. The most significant distinctions compared to the U12t are the Mirai’s peak coming back up at 4kHz (versus 5kHz on the U12t) and significantly more energy at ~8kHz where the U12t dips. This basically gives the Mirai some more bite in the upper-midrange and more of a focus on sparkle in the treble. It also won’t sound as bass-y even if they graph similarly in the bass region. Basically, they sound like very different IEMs in practice, and I wouldn’t really think of the Mirai as being a U12t replacement.
Compared to the IER-M9, it’ll be a lot less warm and it’ll be leaner.
Doesn’t sound like the LCD3, sorry. Honestly, I found the LCD3/4 to not be my cup of tea, something like the UE Reference Remastered would probably be closer to that type of sound (but still not nearly the same).
