AAW AXH
AXH is AAW’s five-driver hybrid: a 10 mm dynamic woofer for the low end and four balanced armatures above it, joined by the same 4-way TrueXross crossover as ASH.
Where ASH leans into the bass, AXH keeps the balance. Its sub-bass is controlled and natural, the voice and treble are clear, and the top is smooth enough to listen for hours.

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
A 10 mm dynamic driver takes the low end, and four balanced armatures sit above it: two for the mid-highs and two dedicated super-high armatures for clear detail in the voice and treble.
The tuning is balanced. Sub-bass is controlled yet natural, of a kind no all-armature design can give, and the treble extension is held in check so the top stays easy over long sessions.
Crossover
AAW’s TrueXross joins the drivers without a high-order RC network, which can shift phase and scramble arrival times. The dynamic driver’s diaphragm is individually tuned, and a physical low-pass filter keeps it to its own band, with minimal overlap with the armatures.
Careful driver placement and a stainless steel acoustic bore do the rest, for better coherence, less phase shift and the four ways reaching the ear together.
In the box
AXH comes with our Lune cable, 1.2 m long 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 2-pin, so AXH also takes any of our 2-pin upgrade cables.

Questions
Five drivers: a 10 mm dynamic driver for the bass, two mid-high balanced armatures and two super-high balanced armatures, joined by AAW’s 4-way TrueXross crossover.
AAW’s crossover for hybrid monitors. Instead of a high-order RC network, which can shift phase and scramble arrival times, a physical low-pass filter keeps the dynamic driver to its own band, with minimal overlap with the armatures. With careful driver placement and the acoustic bore design, the result is better coherence and timing between the drivers.
Balanced: controlled yet natural sub-bass, clear detail in the voice and treble, and a controlled top end that stays easy over long sessions, with a stage AAW likens to a pair of full-size headphones. The graph above shows its response.
