Vermilion MKIII

$399.00

Vermilion MKII was released in the summer of 2019, and customers have been loving its warm sound, affectionate appearance, and soft body. Four years have passed, and it is time for an upgrade. Our MKIII has basically doubled the structure of the MKII by having two smaller structures in each wire. Each small structure is made up of a group of thin copper alloy threads twisted together with a spiral around it. By doing so, each wire now has 40% more threads and 100% more spiral, giving the alloy material more surface area for conductivity.


In terms of material, we have made upgrades as well. A new composition of elements has been implemented on the copper alloy that is used for each thin thread, resulting in a significant improvement in the mid and high frequencies. The material of the copper spiral is of high-purity single crystal copper, and the shininess comes from its sonic-polished surface, expensive but beautiful, providing smooth and powerful bass.


In terms of sonic performance, the new Vermilion MKIII has greatly surpassed its predecessor in basically all aspects. One significant improvement is its bass, which has more power and depth than before. You will also feel a larger soundstage as a side effect. For the mid and high frequencies, we have achieved better clarity while maintaining softness for those who enjoy extended periods of music listening with less fatigue.


As for the appearance, Vermilion MKIII continues to be red in color for its name. It looks more complicated than before because each wire now has two spiral structures instead of one, reflecting light at different angles. The cable also uses our newest metallic parts for a chic look. The body of the MKIII cable is also softer and more tangle-free than its predecessor because of our improved sleeve material, which is the same as the ones used for Billow MKII. You can feel the cable’s amazing softness and flexibility at your fingertips.
 


Here's the description of Vermilion MKII:


Our first-generation Vermilion was a success with its warm copper sound and its red beauty and surpassing it took us six years. Its successor, Vermilion MKII, uses our advanced metallurgic technology of smelting high purity single crystal copper with other elements to create a special copper-based alloy in which all particles are equally distributed for the best acoustic properties. A special tube is then wrapped around dozens of these alloy threads for stability and isolation from the outside atmosphere. However, that’s not all. Single crystal copper was being compressed by tons of pressure into tape-like sheaths that wrap around the core in a spiral pattern for additional signal conduction, similar to the silver spiral sheath found in our Supernova MKII. This spiral copper layer creates a soft and warm effect to reduce the peaks and sibilants in your soundtracks as well as a more natural and larger soundstage compared to the first generation. Why are we doing all this work with the Vermilion MKII? The inspiration comes from the sound of vinyl records, and we believe that we achieved it in this Vermilion MKII.
 
The outmost layer uses the same ultra-soft sheath material as our other cables such as the Billow and the Prima Donna. This time, the sheath is not clear, but red, which gives 90% of its red appearance. The other 10% of redness that you see comes from the reflection of core material and the highly-polished spiral copper layer. We hope customers would like our wine-red Vermilion MKII, a much-improved version of the original Vermilion in all aspects.
 

4-wire or 8-wire?

The 4-wire option has the advantages of being more economical and lighter in weight.

The 8-wire option has fuller sound, larger soundstage and punchier bass while still feels amazingly soft and easy to use.

Ear Guides

All of our IEM cables have pre-bent earguides by default. There are no wires inside as the ear guide is shaped by ourheat shrink sleeve to eliminate the possibility of oxidation of the metallic memory wires. If you do not want any ear guide, please contact us.

Length

The default length of our IEM cables is about 1.2 meters, while headphone cables are around 1.5 meters. If other lengths are needed, please contact us for alternative arrangements.

Plug and Connectors

The options listed in the drop-down menu are only some of the most common ones. If you have something that are not listed in the options, we probably have it as well.

You can see more information about options here.

If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to contact us.

MASON V3のケーブルに

日本語にてレビューします。
私はMASON V3と合わせて使用しています。UM4pin規格のケーブルを扱っているメーカーは少なく、とても助かっています。
私は8芯モデルを使用していますが、全体的に空間が広がり、臨場感のあるサウンドになりました。
ウォームな鳴り方で角が丸い為、高音の刺さりを感じさせないところが気に入っています。
特にMASON V3と合わせるとボーカルが艶やかに伸びて素晴らしいです。

5 из 5!

"Сетап: SONY NW-WM1Z -> Vermilion (4.4,2.5) -> 64 Audio Tia Fourte
Великолепный кабель! Качественный, легкий. Завернут в двойную оплетку, никогда не разойдётся на 2 кабеля.
Играет заметно лучше стока от Tia ( не без помощи 4.4) ).
Рекомендую ??"

低音が綺麗に鳴ります

"線材が銅なので、やはり低音が綺麗に鳴ります。
Signalは若干低音が抑え気味でしたが、このケーブルはしっかりした低音と解像度も損なわないバランスで、非常にいいです。
IEMとの相性もあるかもしれませんが、オススメのケーブルです。"

Sweet, sweet sound + coherence + tonal balance

I've just got my Beat Vermilion with 3.5 TRRS plug for Sony NW ZX2 recently. I'm using it with Ultrasone IQ, which is the flagship model of Ultrasone. The synergy between the cable and the earphones is downright amazing. This cable renders sweet vocals, without being harsh. Tonal balance and coherence between the three frequencies are excellent. Bass has a good speed (not too fast not too slow) and volume. High extends to the fullest without piercingness. Vocal is, as I said, forward and sweet without being harsh. Even for vocalists who tend to pronounce `SS' sound very emphatically like Lara Fabian and George Perris, sounds do not exhibit sibilance. I feel that this cable precisely corrects sibilance tendency, which is the biggest flaw of Ultrasone IQ completely. Overall, I would say that this cable has a tube amp-like quality with the exception of the bass decay that is properly done. In addition, this cable is very beautiful and rather soft. Its red color. combined with gold color of Ultrasone IQ, truly gives me visual happiness.

A Vermillion Miracle!

I have been an audiophile for some years now. After years of upgrades, I finally settled with a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution. The soulful voice of current breed of SF speakers has an uncanny ability in transporting me right to the middle row of a performing concert.
I have started headphones recently with Audeze LCD-3 and a modified Fostex TH900 with Wywires Platinum Series. Just recently I purchased my first universal IEM and I picked UM Miracle purely for work travels. My past experience has proved cables makes a great deal of difference in the chain of audio fidelity. So without any hesitation I started searching for a complementary cable.
The search got me to Beat Audio. There wasn't much I can find about Beat Audio particularly on Vermillion in the internet. Neither did I have any chance auditioning one but I took a bet. I was searching a cable to add a little warmth, body and soul into Miracle yet retaining a wide soundstage.
I collected the Vermillion cable this morning and the packaging was a little disappointing but did the job. Once the plastic wraps are out of the way the box unique design and cables looks amazing. I installed it onto the Miracle and boy I was floored. The mid bass is fuller, mids sounds so much better, the imaging and separation is a notch up, a tad wider soundstage with much better micro dynamics, the highs are much more refined with no fatigue and the overall balance and tones is almost tube-like sensation. It plays well across all genre of music and quite honestly I didn't expect this cable will match so well - it's exactly what I wanted, a miracle indeed.
I wholeheartedly recommend this upgrade...I have no graph or measurements but I have been around long enough to trust only my ears. Go have a listen if you ever have a chance to - it's worth a try.
Thanks, and enjoy your tunes~
