Two woofers. One breath of air.

AAW Z06

Two woofers. One breath of air.

Z06 is AAW’s six-driver hybrid: a pair of 6 mm dynamic woofers working as one, four balanced armatures above them, and a vent that lets the low end breathe.

The result is a lush, vibrant and spacious sound, with bass that has weight and texture yet never crowds the voice.

  • 6 Drivers: 2 × 6 mm isobaric dynamic + 4 balanced armature
  • 3-way Passive crossover
  • 110 dB Sensitivity at 1 kHz
  • 12 Ω Impedance, easy on a phone dongle

    A Vent That Shapes the Bass

    Bass-Flow

    A Vent That Shapes the Bass

    In front of the woofers sits AAW’s Bass-Flow vent pressure system. It does two jobs: it lets pressure out of your ear canal, so long sessions stay comfortable, and it meters the air that reaches the woofers.

    By setting that airflow, AAW tunes both how much bass you hear and what it feels like: strong and impactful, with warmth, clarity and punch, but never laid over the mids and treble.

    Two Diaphragms, One Low End

    Woofer

    Two Diaphragms, One Low End

    Two 6 mm dynamic drivers sit in an isobaric arrangement, one behind the other, driven together. Sharing the load lowers distortion in the low range and raises output, so the bass reaches deeper and stays cleaner than a single driver of the same size.

    High-strength neodymium magnets keep the diaphragms under tight control for fast transients, and a passive filter keeps the pair to the bottom octaves.

    Armatures for the Voice and Air

    Hybrid

    Armatures for the Voice and Air

    Four balanced armatures take the mids and treble, joined to the woofers by a 3-way passive crossover. Each driver works in its own range, with as little overlap as AAW could manage, so voices stay clear while the bass moves underneath.

    The shell is AAW’s third digital enclosure platform: designed in simulation, 3D-printed, finished by hand and measured against AAW’s reference before it ships.

    Epsilon Cable Included

    In the box

    Epsilon Cable Included

    Z06 comes with our Epsilon cable, with 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 flat 2-pin, so Z06 also takes any of our 2-pin upgrade cables.

    Z06 vs Z05

    Two AAW hybrids with the same sensitivity and impedance. Z06 pairs two woofers in one fixed voicing; Z05 has a single woofer and a switch between two voicings.

    Z06 Universal IEM

    I decided to buy the Z06 after about 45 minutes of listening to it at their showroom. Strong bass, clear and smooth vocals, good separation of instrument and details control treble. Music and song is spacious and wide soundstage. It is lively and very easy to listen. Overall it is slight warmth and very musical IEM.

    Questions

    Good to know

    What does the Bass-Flow vent do?

    It releases air pressure from your ear canal, so Z06 stays comfortable over long sessions, and it controls the airflow to the dynamic woofers, which is how AAW sets both the amount and the texture of the bass.

    How does Z06 sound next to Z05?

    Z06 puts vocals further forward over a deep sub-bass, with a clean mid-bass and a wide stage. Z05 has a single 10 mm woofer and a TwinCore switch: Blue is fuller and calmer, Red tighter and brighter. The measurements graph above lets you lay any of them over Z06.

    Is Z06 easy to drive from a phone?

    Yes. At 110 dB and 12 Ω it plays loud enough from a phone dongle, a DAP or a desktop amplifier.

    Which cable fits Z06?

    Z06 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.

    Is there a custom version of Z06?

    Yes. Z06 Custom is made from your ear impressions; see how to order custom IEMs.

    What warranty and returns apply?

    Z06 has a 1-year warranty on the monitors and the cable. Unused universal IEMs in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of confirmed delivery, with a 30% restocking fee. See shipping and returns.

    Do you ship worldwide?

    Yes. Most countries get free shipping by EPAC, and FedEx Priority is free on orders of USD 250 or more. In Singapore you can also pick up from our studio at 76 Playfair Road.
