Balanced hybrid drivers for immersive sound
The Eclipse 500 uses a hybrid configuration that blends the character of dynamic and balanced armature drivers. A single 8mm dynamic driver handles the low frequencies, producing warmth and punch without becoming bloated. Two mid-high balanced armatures preserve the detail and presence in vocals and instruments.
A separate Knowles super tweeter pushes the high-end response to the Hi-Res Audio threshold, adding sparkle and air to the top end. These are controlled through a passive 3-way crossover, ensuring each driver performs in its ideal range with no overlap or interference. This combination creates a wide, spacious soundstage with clear separation and accuracy.
Natural isolation that improves comfort
Many in-ear monitors block external sound by sealing the ear completely, which can lead to discomfort and pressure build-up over time. The Eclipse 500 solves this with ACS’s passive ambient filter, which allows 17dB of isolation while maintaining airflow in and out of the ear canal. This makes the listening experience feel more open and natural, while still protecting your ears in louder environments. It also reduces fatigue during long sessions, making it suitable for both live performances and extended listening at home or on the move.
Personalised fit with adjustable components
The Eclipse 500 comes with interchangeable sound output nozzles in standard, short and extended lengths. Each option allows small changes to how the sound reaches your ear, which can help you fine-tune the fit and acoustic response.
The stainless steel nozzles are CNC-machined for precision and durability. If you need a more tailored solution, ACS also offers a custom-fit sleeve to pair with a custom nozzle, available as an additional purchase. Foam ear tips in three sizes are included to provide a comfortable seal and help maximise isolation straight out of the box.
Premium construction for daily use
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Eclipse 500 uses a die-cast aluminium shell finished in black anodising for strength and a sleek appearance. Interchangeable stainless steel faceplates give an added touch of customisation. The cable features a 2-pin design and is made from high-purity oxygen-free copper with a silver-plated finish. It is continuous from the 3.5mm jack to the connectors, reducing weak points and preserving signal quality. This robust design makes the Eclipse 500 a strong performer across different settings, from studio monitoring to on-stage use or casual listening at home.
