The JH Audio JH16v2 is a professional ten-driver in-ear monitor system of the highest caliber, designed by Jerry Harvey Audio. This model is based on the legendary JH16 Pro monitors, which have become the standard for major touring artists worldwide. The v2 version has undergone a radical upgrade in driver architecture and has an expanded frequency range.
Each earphone houses 10 balanced armature drivers beneath the shell, operating through a three-way passive crossover. The drivers are arranged using the signature mini-quad-block Soundrive technology:
- Low frequencies (Low): 4 woofers (Quad Low) for powerful, yet controlled sub-bass.
- Mid frequencies (Mid): 2 drivers (Dual Mid) for impeccable vocal detail.
- High frequencies (High): 4 tweeters (Quad High) extending the range up to a cosmic 23 kHz.
Sound wave synchronization is ensured by the patented Freqphase steel waveguide system, which aligns the phase of all 10 drivers to within microseconds, creating a reference stereo panorama and deep soundstage.
The construction's reliability is guaranteed by the internal Acoustic Sound Chamber, printed on a 3D printer. It protects the delicate drivers from sweat and stage moisture. The precise anatomical shape provides isolation up to -26 dB of external noise, safeguarding the musician's hearing from harmful sound pressure.
The sound profile of the JH16v2 stands out with incredible headroom and textured bass punch, while maintaining utmost transparency in the mids and highs. The main feature of control is the mechanical block (attenuator) on the detachable 4-pin cable made of silver-plated OFC Litz 4N. With the included screwdriver, the user can manually adjust the low frequency output from 0 to +10 dB independently on the left and right channels. This makes the headphones an ideal choice for bassists and drummers seeking a powerful push, as well as for sound engineers looking for a flat monitor response.
