Dita Audio Project M Hybrid 1DD + 1BA In-Ear Earphones - High Fidelity Sound for Audiophiles, Musicians, and Commuters

DITA Audio Presents: Project M

In the spirit of continuous development and evolution, DITA introduces its first resin-based, hybrid earphone, the Project M.

The M’s physical appearance is a departure from previous DITA designs, taking on an even more ergonomic form factor that is at once familiar and yet uniquely DITA.

The Project M consists of DITA’s all-new PM1+ Dynamic Driver and a balanced armature driver.

As with all of DITA’s pieces, the Project M aims to be something that can be kept and enjoyed for a long time: It will be backed by a self-mandated 10 year parts or replacement availability that speaks to DITA’s commitment to stability, long term viability and re-sale value.

A New Driver Concept

Project M features DITA Audio’s newly developed, custom-built PM1+ 9.8mm dynamic driver. The main engine behind the sound, the PM1+ is responsible for the texture and characteristics behind the M’s signature. The driver itself boasts a full-range sound with clarity, speed and punchy bass.

The PM1+ driver performs best with additional technology, leading to an augmentation of Project M’s soundstage with its single Knowles BA driver. Both drivers are housed in a highly optimized stainless-steel chamber, and sound is projected through a custom molded transfer tube terminating in an aluminum nozzle.

MOCCA / CARDAS Custom-Built Cable 

Keeping with DITA's tradition of custom-building cables for every earphone, Project M is equipped with the MOCCA cable that utilizes conductors made by Cardas in the USA. It's constructed with 16 strands of Cardas conductors per cable, twisted to DITA's specifications, and jacketed in a flexible PVC outer layer. The cable also comes equipped with DITA's APV2, future-proofing the Project M for use in the modern listener's ever-evolving rig.

Acoustic FEA is used in close conjunction with a series of both objective tests and subjective listening experiences to produce a sound tube profile that is optimized for Project M’s dynamic driver. This continues the DITA ethos of delivering a coherent, full range experience largely based on 2 channel systems.

This entire assembly is finally encased in a slow pour, transparent resin mix, resulting in the earpiece’s elegant, intriguing visuals. The resulting sound is one that bears all the hallmarks of a DITA product, positioned in a new, attractive price bracket.

Mini Systainer Carry Case by Tanos

In a nod to Project M's minimal industrial aesthetics, each unit comes with its own Systainer Carry Case, made by Tanos for DITA Audio.

Each case comes with custom-made silicon inserts for protecting both the case and the cables during shipping and before purchase. Feel free to remove the top and bottom case linings post-purchase. Both inserts are molded to the Tanos Case, but DITA added two pieces of double-sided tape on the bottom lining for extra security (easily removed if desired.)
