IFi iEMatch+

IFi iEMatch+ — Noise Reduction for IEMs

Noise and hiss when listening on highly sensitive in-ear monitors (IEMs) can significantly disrupt the listening experience, especially when used with powerful sources such as portable DACs or professional players. iFi iEMatch+ is a compact in-line attenuator that solves this problem by reducing noise and adapting the signal level without affecting the sound quality. With two levels of attenuation (High: -12 dB, Ultra: -24 dB) and compatibility with single-ended and balanced connections, the iEMatch delivers finer volume control and sound clarity. With gold-plated connectors and high-end audio components, it is the ideal choice for discerning listeners.

Noise Reduction and Sound Adaptation

iEMatch+ reduces the signal level before it enters the headphones, thereby suppressing amplifier noise and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. This allows you to set the volume higher on the source without losing control, which is especially appreciated when working with sensitive IEMs. Unlike conventional resistor reductions, the iEMatch maintains the correct impedance load, so there is no distortion of the frequency response or coloration of the sound.

Flexibility and compatibility

Thanks to the SE/BAL switch, the iEMatch+ is compatible with both single-ended and balanced (TRRS) connections. With gold-plated 3.5 mm connectors (male and female) and a robust minZ™ helix cable that ensures low capacitance, low inductance and EMI/RFI protection, the device is designed for long-term performance. The iEMatch+ is ideal for use with portable DACs (e.g. iFi hip dac, GO bar), DAP players or studio audio interfaces.
