DUNU DaVinci VITRUVIAN 2DD + 5BA Hybrid In-Ear Monitors
The DUNU DaVinci VITRUVIAN is the direct successor to the acclaimed DaVinci, elevating the hybrid IEM formula with a refined 7-driver architecture. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, it balances precise acoustic engineering with musical expression, delivering improved dynamics, clearer vocals, tighter bass control, and smoother high-frequency extension while retaining the warm, engaging character that defined its predecessor.
7-Driver Hybrid Configuration
Each earpiece houses two dynamic drivers dedicated to the low frequencies and five balanced armature drivers handling the midrange and treble. This 2DD + 5BA setup provides greater resolution and layering than the original DaVinci’s 2DD + 4BA design, allowing more precise frequency allocation and a more cohesive overall presentation.
Revamped Multi-Driver Crossover
A completely redesigned multi-way crossover network manages the seven drivers with improved phase coherence. Frequency transitions are smoother, phase cancellation is minimized, and the result is a more layered, three-dimensional soundstage with better instrument separation and spatial definition.
Improved Bass Performance
The dual dynamic drivers retain the signature warmth and depth of the DaVinci while delivering faster transient response, greater physical impact, and tighter control in both the sub-bass and mid-bass regions. The low end remains full and rhythmic without becoming overly dominant.
Natural and Expressive Midrange
The midrange has been carefully refined for greater density, smoothness, and clarity. Vocals—both male and female—sound more natural and emotionally engaging, with improved texture and presence that makes the VITRUVIAN especially well-suited to pop, vocal, and acoustic music.
Smooth and Extended Treble
Five optimized balanced armature drivers produce a silky, transparent high-frequency response with natural extension and improved air. The treble remains free of harshness or fatigue while offering better overtone detail and a more open sense of space compared to the original model.
Detachable Cable with Modular Connectors
The VITRUVIAN uses recessed 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors and comes with a high-purity stock cable featuring DUNU’s Q-Lock Mini interchangeable plug system. Both 3.5 mm single-ended and 4.4 mm balanced plugs are included, giving users flexible connectivity and easy cable upgrades.
Comfortable and Refined Build
Each earpiece weighs approximately 6.2 g and is housed in a carefully shaped resin shell designed for long-term comfort. The faceplates feature a distinctive vintage-inspired design with gear motifs, combining visual character with practical ergonomics.
