An EM6L, but with toned down top end. Gorgeous shells. Microplanar instead of Balanced Armature. Great Details and Imaging. Acessories are a little barebones

A Tuning
A- Tech

7Hz x Crinacle Divine is a planar-magnetic IEM built around a third-generation 14.5 mm planar driver, tuned with a ~10 dB bass shelf and a pinna gain centered near 3 kHz to target a neutral-with-bass-boost profile; the shells are CNC-milled aluminum.

In practice, this tuning should yield clean mids with added low-end weight and a generally smooth treble, while the planar configuration aims for fast transients and low distortion relative to typical single-DD sets in this bracket. These traits are consistent with what planar drivers are known for—quick attack/decay behavior and precise detail retrieval.

Positioned at an MSRP around $150, the Divine competes as a value-oriented planar collaboration; Crinacle’s public list also notes it as a planar (PL), 2-pin model in this price slot, reinforcing its category placement. The specification sheet suggests competent technicalities for the class, with the neutral-with-bass-boost approach prioritizing balance over aggressive coloration.
