DUNU DN-242 Tribrid IEM | 2DD + 4BA + 2 Planar | 8-Driver | Q-Lock Mini

DUNU DN-242 Tribrid IEM

An 8-driver tribrid in-ear monitor combining 2 dynamic drivers, 4 balanced armatures, and 2 micro planar drivers in a precision 5-way crossover architecture — delivering a full-spectrum acoustic experience from sub-bass to ultra-high frequency air, with DUNU's Q-Lock Mini interchangeable cable system.

The DUNU DN-242 is DUNU's statement tribrid IEM, engineered to redefine what multi-driver harmony sounds like. At its core is an 8-driver tribrid configuration: a 10mm dynamic driver for sub-bass impact, an 8mm dynamic driver for low-frequency body, 2 custom midrange balanced armatures, 2 custom high-frequency balanced armatures, and 2 custom ultra-high frequency micro planar drivers for effortless treble extension and air. A precision 5-way electronic crossover network ensures each driver operates in its optimal frequency range, resulting in a coherent, natural soundstage that belies the complexity underneath. Available in Standard and Limited editions.

Key Features

• 8-Driver Tribrid Architecture — 2DD + 4BA + 2 Planar: Three driver technologies work in concert: dual dynamic drivers handle sub-bass and low-frequency weight, four balanced armatures cover midrange and treble detail, and two custom micro planar drivers extend the upper frequency ceiling with the effortless air and resolution that planar technology is known for.
• Advanced 5-Way Electronic Crossover Network: A precision electronic crossover divides the frequency spectrum into five dedicated bands, ensuring each driver receives only the signal it was designed to reproduce. The result is a coherent, phase-accurate presentation with no frequency overlap or coloration between driver types.
• 10mm Sub-Bass + 8mm Low-Frequency Dynamic Drivers: The dual dynamic driver configuration separates sub-bass rumble from low-frequency body, allowing each driver to be tuned independently. The 10mm driver delivers physical impact and depth, while the 8mm driver provides warmth and texture in the lower midrange.
• 2 × Custom Ultra-High Frequency Micro Planar Drivers: DUNU's custom micro planar drivers extend treble response to 40kHz, adding air, sparkle, and micro-detail retrieval that conventional balanced armatures struggle to match at the frequency extremes.
• Q-Lock Mini Interchangeable Connector System: The included 4-core high-purity silver-plated OCC copper cable features DUNU's Q-Lock Mini modular plug system, with both a 4.4mm balanced and a 3.5mm single-ended plug included. Switch between output types in seconds without tools.
• Premium 4-Core Silver-Plated OCC Copper Cable: The stock cable uses high-purity OCC copper with silver plating, offering low resistance, excellent signal transmission, and a supple, tangle-resistant feel. The 0.78mm 2-pin connector ensures broad aftermarket cable compatibility.

Specifications

⚠️ The DN-242 has a 35Ω impedance and 110dB sensitivity — it pairs well with most portable sources but will scale with a dedicated DAC/AMP. The Q-Lock Mini system is compatible with other DUNU Q-Lock Mini cables and accessories.
