M110A
Lightning Interface Decoding Earphones Cable
Last Call for the Lightning Interface
Apple introduced the compact Lightning Dock interface on September 12, 2012, replacing the 30-pin Dock. This Lightning interface does not support analog audio output, necessitating the use of a DAC-equipped plug for wired earphones. Among MFi-certified plug, only the C100 model is compatible. The M110A features a retro design and pairs with the C100 Lightning plug, making it compatible with the discontinued iPhone 5 to iPhone 14 series. This may be the final opportunity to utilize this interface.
Memory: A Musical Remembrance
In the era of TRS-type earphones, lossless music delivered through wired earphones lacked strong resolution, power, and flavor—often described as “plain water.”
Modern Craftsmanship in Design and Production
To ensure durability for long-term use, the earphones cable must be soft, lightweight, and capable of withstanding tension while being easy to store with a long joint lifespan. The Memory earphones cable employs a combination of two types of materials: the main cable features a four-core braided design capable of enduring significant tension without damage, while the split cable uses imported PVC outer sheathing combined with Kevlar fiber and oxygen-free copper to ensure comfortable wearing. The Lightning plug, splitter, and connector housings are crafted from aviation-grade aluminum AL6063 and shaped through CNC processing.
Common Earphone Connector Types
The M110A adopts an ear-hook design, and the earphone connectors can be selected as MMCX or 0.78mm pins.
Compatible MMCX Connector Pins
The M110A features an expanded MMCX connector with a stepped design, making it compatible with recessed MMCX earphones, such as the Sennheiser IE series and Sony IER series.
