Craft Ears Leszy

In old Slavic tales, every forest had its guardian. The Polish called him Leszy. He watched over the trees and the creatures that lived among them. Those who entered with respect could pass safely beneath his branches. Those who did not might hear a familiar voice calling from somewhere deeper in the woods, and discover that the path home had disappeared.

Leszy took twelve months of prototyping, and its tuning is rooted in that same forest. Stand still among the trees and the noise fades, but what you hear is not silence. You begin to locate things instead: a bird to your left, a creaking branch behind, whispering wind above. Good IEMs does the same to a recording. The blur clears, and every piece of the mix steps into its own place.

- Leszy follows the Craft Ears house sound, with more character. Compared to the rest of the line up, it is more dynamic, lively and engaging with more energy. The bass is fuller and more pronounced, the midrange stays neutral and open, and the treble detailed and precise without turning bright.
- Five drivers per side work through a four-way passive crossover. A 9.2mm LSR dynamic driver for the bass, 3 balanced armatures covering the low mids, mids and high mids, and a 6mm round planar magnetic driver; made for Craft Ears, for the treble and air.
- SES 4.0 is our acoustic system for the upper part of the spectrum. The planar driver works into a horn, and alongside it sits three resonators which shape the upper midrange and high frequencies.
- True Load Evo gives Leszy an impedance curve that is close to flat, but deliberately not entirely flat so that the IEMs respond predicatbly to changes of cable and source.
- Aluminium shells machinced on advanced 5-axis CNC machines, then anodised in dark forest green colour with a stain-finished surface. Inside, precisely designed inserts printed on the state-of-the-art 3D printers integrate the drives, acoustic chambers, sound tubes of variable length and diameter, and the resonators.
- Metal faceplate machined with a precise high-tech pattern joins the shell seamlessly along with the gold Craft Ears logo. Set into its inlay of natural Polish wood from trees that grow about 30km from the Craft Ears workshop in Poznan, Poland, where every pair is handcrafted.
- The nozzles are made from a special bronze alloy that is more resistant to patina and oxidation than ordinary bronze, so they keep their look for a long time.
