Enjoy crystal clear music with the iFi iEMatch4.4. Lower noise, greater dynamics, and true resolution with 4.4mm balanced connection. Read more.
The iEMatch4.4 from iFi Audio is designed for demanding listeners who use highly sensitive in-ear monitors and struggle with precise volume adjustment. Many IEMs reach loud listening levels with only minimal volume input, making fine control difficult. Within iFi Audio’s range, the iEMatch4.4 serves as a compact, practical tool to better match modern audio sources with sensitive earphones.
Instead of relying on digital volume reduction, the iEMatch4.4 attenuates the signal in the analog domain. This approach helps preserve musical resolution and dynamics, even when the source device operates at a higher output level. Digital volume controls can reduce effective bit depth at low listening levels, which may lead to a flatter sound and increased background noise. By acting as a buffer, the iEMatch4.4 keeps the signal cleaner and more consistent.
For everyday use, the iEMatch4.4 integrates easily into portable and balanced audio setups. The 4.4mm balanced connection supports modern players and DACs designed for symmetrical signal paths. It also allows listeners to enjoy music at comfortable levels without sudden jumps in loudness. As a subtle yet effective upgrade, it helps extract better performance from existing IEMs and sources without complicating the system.
