The fabric of an In-Ear Monitor’s physique performs a crucial position in its sound high quality, consolation, and reliability. Periodic Audio partnered with Eastman Chemical in what turned a three-year venture researching the optimum materials for an In-Ear Monitor. The Periodic workforce discovered that Tritan — a new-generation copolyester utilized in many medical gadgets — offered the most effective measurable and audible enhancements in sound, when it comes to transient distortion and harmonic distortion, of any materials the Periodic workforce has measured.

All Periodic Audio in-ear displays are designed, engineered, and tooled in-house and Made in USA and carry a five-year guarantee in opposition to manufacturing defects.
