AAW Mokara
Mokara is AAW’s flagship universal: eighteen drivers per side, four of them electrostatic super tweeters, divided by a 7-way passive crossover and housed beneath a faceplate of opal and purple resin.
It is tuned for listeners who want deep, powerful sound with detailed imaging, a large presentation that stays controlled.

Measured by AAW on universal shells with one test setup. Custom shells carry the same tuning, though fit, tips and seal shift the result, above 8 kHz most of all.

Drivers
Fourteen balanced armatures carry the music up to the treble: four woofers, then a pair each for bass, mid-bass, midrange, upper midrange and highs. Above them sit four electrostatic super tweeters, for treble that reaches far and keeps its air and fine detail.
A 7-way passive crossover gives every group its own band and keeps it there. The result is large and controlled, wide and layered without smearing, with the detail to reward close listening.

Enclosure
At the base is a 3D-printed acoustic chamber, its internal geometry drawn to manage airflow and resonance for all eighteen drivers. Around it sits a CNC-machined aluminium mid-case, chosen for its rigidity, which reinforces the 2-pin socket for a secure cable for years to come.
On top is the faceplate, poured in resin and finished by hand.

Faceplate
Mokara takes its name from the Mokara, a hybrid orchid. Its faceplate sets real opal fragments and a hand-inlaid floral emblem in deep purple resin, poured, cured and polished by hand.
The opal settles differently in every pour, so no two faceplates are alike, and the surface turns from violet to gold, orange and green as the light moves.

In the box
Mokara comes with our Vanda cable: 7N UP-OCC cryo copper, 294 fine strands per conductor under a clear jacket, 1.2 m long, with a Mokara Y-splitter and 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors. Choose the player plug when you order: 2.5 mm or 4.4 mm balanced, or 3.5 mm single-ended.
The sockets are standard 2-pin, so Mokara also takes any of our 2-pin upgrade cables.

Seal & Comfort
The seal is not a footnote. When the tip sits right, bass weight, vocal centre and left-right balance stop changing every time you move.
LiquidMorph tips pair a rounded, transparent silicone flange that settles without feeling bulky with a teal inner bore that stays stable, so the low end does not collapse when the shell shifts.

Fit
The tips come in a tray, sorted by size, so you can check them before a long session instead of digging through a loose bag of parts.
The right tip is often the difference between good and there it is.

Eighteen drivers per side: fourteen balanced armatures (four woofers, and two each for bass, mid-bass, midrange, upper midrange and highs) and four electrostatic super tweeters, joined by a 7-way passive crossover.
Reach and air at the very top. The armatures cover the range up to the highs; the four electrostatic super tweeters extend the treble beyond them, with the fine detail that lets a recording breathe.
Listeners who want deep, powerful sound with detailed imaging: a presentation large and controlled, wide and layered enough to reward close listening.
Mokara has flat 0.78 mm 2-pin sockets. Choose Standard 2-pin (0.78 mm) on any of our cables; see the AAW cable guide.
