AAW Canary Pro
Canary Pro is AAW’s tri-hybrid: an isobaric pair of dynamic woofers, eight precision armatures and four electrostatic super tweeters, joined by a 5-way passive crossover and held to a flat 7 Ω.
Its sound is vivid and alive. It draws out details you may not have heard before and closes the distance to the performance, with wide headroom, a large dynamic range and quick transients, and without fatigue or harshness.

Compare with other models
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.

Electrostatic
Each of the four electrostatic super tweeters is a gold-plated membrane weighing six micrograms, held against a plate charged to as much as 400 volts. A miniature transformer built into the earpiece raises the signal up to a hundredfold, and the music itself draws and releases the membrane to make sound.
No energiser, no separate amplifier: plug Canary Pro into your player and it is ready.

Woofer
Two dynamic drivers work as an isobaric pair, doubling the effective diaphragm area without enlarging the shell, for low-end pressure with cleaner control of excursion. They have a 3D-printed acoustic chamber of their own, which reshapes their character.
AAW calls the whole the Extreme Multi-Driver Matrix: fourteen drivers, with a 5-way passive crossover keeping each in its own range, so the dynamic and armature drivers meet with as little phase shift and interference as possible.

Enclosure
The faceplate pairs natural pearl with a synthesized material, each cut and placed by hand, so every piece is one of a kind. Beneath it, the shell and the woofer chamber are 3D-printed separately and assembled onto a stainless steel nozzle system.
The design is wholly digital: the placement of drivers and nozzle was simulated hundreds of times to settle phase and response, then printed to tolerances that keep every pair consistent.

In the box
Canary Pro 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 Canary Pro also takes any of our 2-pin upgrade cables.

Two AAW flagship hybrids for reference listening and the stage. Canary Pro adds an isobaric woofer pair and four electrostatic tweeters to its armatures; Mockingbird joins one dynamic woofer to eight armatures with AAW’s TrueXross crossover.

Questions
Fourteen drivers per side in three kinds: two dynamic woofers in an isobaric pair, eight balanced armatures (two low-range, two midrange, four mid-high) and four electrostatic super tweeters, joined by a 5-way passive crossover.
Armature drivers usually make an earphone’s impedance rise and fall with frequency, so its sound depends on the output impedance of the source. Canary Pro changes the character of its armatures from inductive to resistive and holds a flat 7 Ω across the range, so it sounds the same from one source to the next. A clean source with low output impedance suits it best.
No. A miniature transformer inside each earpiece raises the signal for the electrostatic tweeters, so Canary Pro plugs straight into a portable player, a dongle, a DAP or a desktop amplifier.
Critical listeners and working musicians: vocalists, guitarists, bassists, drummers and keyboard players, engineers and audiophiles. It suits stage monitoring, and the custom version adds more isolation.
Canary Pro has 0.78 mm 2-pin sockets. Choose Standard 2-pin (0.78 mm) on any of our cables; see the AAW cable guide.
Yes. Canary Pro Custom has the same fourteen drivers in shells made from your ear impressions; see how to order custom IEMs.
Canary Pro 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.
