AAW Mockingbird

Nine drivers. One voice.

Successor to AAW’s acclaimed W900, Mockingbird is the summit of its work on joining dynamic and armature drivers: a 9 mm dynamic woofer and eight balanced armatures, made coherent by TrueXross.

Built as true reference equipment, it offers natural, powerful sub-bass, extended treble and fine detail, for stage performers, recording studios, audio engineers and the most critical listeners.

Crossover

One Voice from Two Kinds of Driver

A high-order RC crossover, the usual way to join a dynamic driver to armatures, tends to scramble phase and arrival time. AAW’s TrueXross takes another path: the dynamic driver’s diaphragm is tuned for the job, and a physical low-pass filter keeps it to a range that barely overlaps the armatures.

Careful placement of the drivers and a front acoustic chamber do the rest, for better coherence, less phase shift and music that arrives at the ear on time.

Reference

Natural Sub-Bass, Extended Treble

Mockingbird was designed as true reference equipment. Its 4-way network gives dedicated drivers to bass, midrange, treble and super treble, for sub-bass with power and a natural weight that an all-armature design does not give.

AAW developed its super tweeters with the armature maker it regards as the world’s best; they hold full sound pressure to 20 kHz and extend to 40 kHz. With AAW’s imaging, separation and realistic stage, the result is the coherence of a fine loudspeaker in the space of an IEM.

In the box

Tiburon Cable Included

Mockingbird comes with our Tiburon UPOCC copper cable, 1.2 m long with low microphonics and 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors. Tell us the player plug you need after you order: 2.5 mm or 4.4 mm balanced, or 3.5 mm single-ended.

The sockets are standard 2-pin, so Mockingbird also takes any of our 2-pin upgrade cables.

Mockingbird vs Canary Pro

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

Audio library rediscovery ahead !

Hello,
The combination Mockingbird iem + Aoraki cable is really enjoyable, i.e. mind-blowing! Known tracks of various genres (baroque, reggae, trance, ...) are now more detailed. This gain doesn't come at the cost of musicality; you can enjoy beautifully rendered tunes as a whole or focus effortlessly on a counter melody!
I haven't tried them with my phone yet but they are easily driven by an Hiby R6 balanced output, so there shouldn't be any problem.
The only "warning" I would like to share is that these iem are thick (for a good reason, 1 dynamic driver + 2 mid BA + 2 high BA take some space). I own the universal version and they tend to get out of my ears when I get agitated. My advice would be to get the custom version to enhance insertion into the ears.
Anyway this is nothing compared to the pure audio bliss these iem represent!

Hello,

I'm not sure my previous question reached you: is it possible to replace Mockingbird included cable with an Aoraki (2.5mm TRRS + Herringbone braiding) ?
If possible, could you please send me a quote?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Bruno B.

Null Audio

Yes. When you order an IEM you can upgrade its included cable and pay the difference between the two cables' regular prices. Email sales@null-audio.com for a quote.

Hello,

Would it be possible to switch included cable with Aoraki (connection 2.5mm TRRS + Herringbone braiding) with a Mockingbird purchase?

Kind regards,
Bruno Biedermann

Null Audio

Yes. When you order an IEM you can upgrade its included cable and pay the difference between the two cables' regular prices. Email sales@null-audio.com for a quote.

Hi there,

I am wondering if I can trade-in my W350 for the B-Stock Mockingbird UIEM. If it is possible, I would also like to switch the included cable to the Thera. Please advise, thanks in advance.

Regards,
Lum Kai Jie

Null Audio

Yes we will send you a quotation later for this to your email.

Questions

Good to know

What is TrueXross?

AAW’s way of joining a dynamic driver to armatures without a high-order RC crossover. The dynamic driver’s diaphragm is tuned and a physical low-pass filter limits it to a range that barely overlaps the armatures; with the driver placement and a front acoustic chamber, this improves coherence, reduces phase shift and keeps the arrival times in order.

What is the driver configuration?

Nine drivers per side: a 9 mm dynamic woofer and eight balanced armatures, among them AAW’s bespoke super tweeters, joined by the TrueXross 4-way crossover.

Who is Mockingbird for?

Stage performers, recording studios, audio engineers and the most critical listeners. AAW recommends it to vocalists, guitarists, bassists and drummers as much as to engineers and audiophiles.

How do I choose the player plug?

Mockingbird ships from stock. After you order, email us at support@null-audio.com with the plug you need: 2.5 mm or 4.4 mm balanced, or 3.5 mm single-ended.

Which cable fits Mockingbird?

Mockingbird 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 Mockingbird?

Yes. Mockingbird Custom has the same nine drivers and TrueXross crossover in shells made from your ear impressions; see how to order custom IEMs.

What warranty and returns apply?

Mockingbird 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.
