SA6
The brainchild of Sleek Audio co-founder Mark Krywko, the SA6 is designed with the user in mind unlike any other earphone. It is the world’s first acoustically customizable earphone and took over three years to develop, with a full year going towards the acoustic chamber alone. It is also the world’s only universal earphone that can go from wired, to wireless and back again using Sleek’s Wireless Hybrid system. (all Sleek products have this feature)

“Now you can hear the full range of music at any volume, without damaging your hearing to hear subtle details in your music.” Mark Krwyko, CEO
With over 3 years of development going into this single product, a year of that dedicated to creating the acoustic chamber, the SA6 delivers multiple driver performance through a custom, single ultra-wide band balanced armature driver.
It is also the only earphone in the world that can go from wired to wireless and back again using true, 16-bit CD quality wireles technology. You will hear virtually no difference in sound quality between the wired and wireless set ups.
Sibilance, audio fatigue, inconsistent performance and being limited to your wires are a thing of the past. “Find your audio fingerprint” with the SA6.
“The reason a loudspeaker may sound great in your living room and horrible in your garage is acoustics. The ear is not any different, and the environment varies for every person. The VQ System lets you make the necessary corrections easily.”
Our multi-platform VQ System allows you to adjust our single balanced-armature driver to your personal taste.
Instead of adding multiple drivers and the necessary passive-crossovers which add color or distortion, we used a different approach. We started with a subminiature, ultra-wide band balanced single armature driver and developed the VQ System to acoustically alter the frequency response to personalize your music.
We designed the VQ System specifically for this incredible driver; because music is personal and the headphones should never get in the way.
Variable Equalization (VQ) System
The VQ System, or Variable Equalization System, is the first of its kind in an in-ear monitor.
This multi-stage system allows you to completely customize the sound of your music. While you may appreciate brilliant treble, someone else may want deeper bass. Now, with the VQ System, all listening experiences can be tailored: from symphony to hip-hop, or country to rap, everyone can have the sound they love.
First, using Interchangeable High Frequency Filter Tips, the end-user can dramatically alter the sound of the high frequencies to adjust the amount of make up gain they need after inserting sound isolating in-ear monitors. It may be that you like sustained high-frequencies with a peak at the vocals. Or it could be that you want a flat response with some roll off at the upper high end. The choice is yours with our Interchangeable Treble Tips.
Second, low frequency response is a personal preference. Our patent-pending Variable (Interchangeable) Bass Port System maximizes the low-end bass curve. The result is a dramatic 12db difference at 20 hertz between our three interchangeable bass filters, with no effect on the high-frequencies. This is an industry first.

Color:
Black shoes and a brown belt? Fashion faux pas. White cables with a black ipod? Even worse. But with Sleek Audio’s colored, interchangeable cables, you’ll always be able to listen in style. You can have a cable to match your mood, clothes, or MP3 player. Will be available in 2010.
Length:
Your listening experience is as unique as you. Which is why Sleek Audio offers interchangeable cables in different lengths. Depending on your application and use, and even your height, you can decide between four feet or five feet of cable. In addition, Sleek Audio is happy to design custom length cables by special order, making your cable possibilities endless.
Replacement:
Damaged cables are the number one repair problem among in-ear monitors. In the past, the pinching, snapping, or breaking of cables rendered the entire unit useless, but not anymore. Sleek Audio’s interchangeable cable design allows you simply replace the cable and get back to your music.
