From the first concept to the final production stage, every detail was refined with care. TRN Mermaid is not the result of a single moment of inspiration, but a product shaped through continuous improvements and long-term iteration.
TRN Mermaid development process

Tidal Tunes Winding 'Round Fins

The graceful form of a mermaid inspires the design of TRN Mermaid. To bring this idea to life, the design team studied the flowing lines and proportions associated with mermaid imagery and translated them into the shape of the earphones.

The dynamic curve of the mermaid's tail is subtly integrated into the earpiece, turning the earphones into more than just an audio device. Throughout the design process, the curvature, balance, and proportions were carefully adjusted to ensure a comfortable fit while maintaining a refined and elegant appearance.

The final result combines ergonomic comfort with an artistic silhouette, striking a balance between functionality and visual harmony.

Shaping the resonant melody of a mermaid's voice

When the melody of a mermaid meets modern acoustic tuning, TRN Mermaid is born. Inspired by the legend of mermaids and their captivating voices, these earphones bring imagination to life through sound.

Each unit is designed to replicate the character of the human voice, with a special emphasis on female vocals. The tuning emphasizes delicate texture, emotional nuance, and vocal clarity, allowing every note to sound natural, expressive, and full of vitality.

Rather than overwhelming detail, the sound focuses on balance and resonance, capturing the warmth and presence of vocals as if they were performed just beneath the surface of the sea.

1 Dynamic + 1 Balanced Armature + 2 Planar Drivers

Quadruple acoustic matrix
To overcome the limitations of a single driver, TRN Mermaid uses a four-driver hybrid configuration. The system features a 10 mm dual-magnetic dynamic driver, a balanced armature, and two 6 mm planar magnetic drivers, each responsible for its own specific frequency range.

The dynamic driver delivers depth and impact in the low frequencies. The balanced armature enhances midrange clarity and detail, while the planar drivers extend the high frequencies with speed and precision. Together, they form a cohesive and well-controlled sound signature.

Thanks to precise crossover tuning, each driver operates efficiently within its designated range, creating a balanced and immersive soundstage with improved resolution across the entire frequency spectrum.

10 mm dual magnetic circuit dynamic driver

Activating deep, controlled low frequencies
TRN Mermaid utilizes a 10 mm dynamic driver with a dual-magnetic circuit to deliver powerful and well-controlled low frequencies. Compared to a traditional single-magnetic design, the dual-magnetic structure increases magnetic field strength, allowing for more precise diaphragm movement and improved bass response.

The diaphragm combines a high-density PU edge with a rigid glass dome. This structure enhances control at low frequencies while maintaining speed and clarity. The PU surround optimizes vibration range for deeper bass, while the glass dome improves stiffness and responsiveness.

As a result, the low end sounds impactful yet controlled, with clear texture and a sense of air that preserves detail even in complex passages.

33518 Knowles balanced armature

Precision tuning for mid and high frequencies
The TRN Mermaid is equipped with a Knowles 33518 balanced armature driver, which is responsible for clarity and detail in the mid- and high-frequency ranges. This driver is renowned for its fast response and precise sound reproduction, enabling subtle music details to remain clear and well-defined.

Working in harmony with the dynamic driver, the balanced armature enhances overall balance and coherence across the frequency spectrum. Transients are reproduced with speed and control, giving percussion, electronic sounds, and complex passages clean attacks and natural decay.

The result is a transparent and well-layered presentation, free from muddiness, where detail and accuracy remain consistent even at higher volumes.

Dual planar magnetic drivers

Expanding the soundstage with speed and precision
TRN Mermaid features a pair of newly developed 6 mm planar magnetic drivers with titanium-coated diaphragms, designed to handle the mid- and high-frequency ranges with exceptional speed and control.

Thanks to the planar vibration mode, these drivers respond evenly across their surface, reducing distortion and improving detail consistency. Working together, the dual planar drivers precisely cover different frequency regions, enhancing soundstage width, separation, and overall resolution.

This design excels at reproducing fine textures in strings, natural warmth in vocals, and a strong sense of spatial depth. The result is an open, immersive presentation that conveys the atmosphere of a live performance, with a wide and well-defined soundstage that feels spacious yet controlled.

Near-zero distortion

Clean sound through precise driver control
TRN Mermaid is engineered to minimize distortion across the entire frequency range through a carefully structured four-driver system. Each driver operates only within the range for which it is best suited, reducing overlap and unwanted interference.

Thanks to precise crossover tuning and controlled magnetic structures, signal accuracy is preserved from the diaphragm to the magnetic field. This approach helps maintain clarity in complex passages while keeping distortion levels extremely low.

The result is a clean, stable sound presentation with improved detail definition and tonal consistency, allowing the music to remain natural and controlled even at higher volumes.
