Do More Drivers = Better
Not necessarily. More drivers = different.
All of our monitors are designed with a specific sound signature in mind. We design the drivers and internal components from the ground up to achieve the sound signature specific to each model. Think of it like ice cream. All ice cream is great but you probably have a specific flavor you enjoy more than others. In the same way, all of our monitors are great, but each is a different flavor.
When choosing a model, think about how you like to listen and what your priorities are. Then match that to the model with the sound signature that best suits your preference.
UE 7
The UE 7 is tailored for listeners of podcasts and music with high vocal frequency like Opera or classical. It has the least bass out of our models with a focus on the mid and high-mid frequency ranges to really let vocals, guitars, keys, etc. shine through. It’s actually what we recommend to all vocalists that come our way.
UE 11
The UE 11 was designed for those who want more low end. A dedicated sub delivers tight punchy bass. With 2 balanced armatures dedicated to the lower frequencies, the UE 11 delivers tight and accurate bass. Perfect for music with punchy bass, making it the ideal choice for listening to genres like Hip Hop, Electronic, and Rap. The dual bore sound channels keep the highs, mids, and lows phase aligned.
UE 18
The UE 18+ was designed for those who demand perfection. Get more detail, separation, musicality, and coherence in your music. Feel upper register harmonics, hear improved presence, and enjoy warm sound. Perfect for music with multiple instruments such as rock, metal, funk, jazz, and orchestral. Feel like you are in the room with the unparalleled clarity of the 18+ no matter what your listening to.
UE Live
The UE Lives are our top of the line model with 8 drivers in each side for a total of 16 drivers. They are a really great balance of the frequency spectrum with a warm overall sound.
