MOONDROP Ear-Hook Type Canal Earphones KATO Dark Blue Diamond-like Carbon Composite Diaphragm MIM Stainless Steel Housing Playback Frequency Band

New generation flagship 10mm dynamic driver. KATO, equipped with a new ULT (Ultra-Linear-Technology) superlinear dynamic driver, was born after more than two years of repeated development with the goal of significantly improving the linear dynamic range and achieving nonlinear distortion in all frequency bands comparable to electrostatic headphones. It delivers stronger dynamics, lower distortion, restored timbre, open hearing and richer yet natural detail. The housing is cast using the MIM method (metal injection molding method), which allows for high strength and an irregular appearance. The inner surface is a fine and irregular surface, which has a positive effect on suppressing standing waves. By repeating manual polishing, the entire surface has been made as smooth as a mirror. Equipped with a newly designed high-performance DLC (diamond-like carbon) composite diaphragm. Three materials with different properties, including DLC, are used to form each part of the diaphragm. DLC is characterized by high stiffness, high damping factor, and light weight, and has an overall acoustic performance that exceeds that of beryllium. The included ear tips are newly developed [Spring Tips (Seisen)] ear tips. This ear tip uses a special diffusion structure to suppress bad resonance and significantly reduce high-frequency linear distortion caused by nozzle resonance. While making the high-frequency tone more natural, the special reinforcement support design prevents loss of bass due to sound leakage. The special material allows it to fit the ear canal without being sticky. Equipped with a high-purity copper and silver-plated cable with a star-shaped quad (Star Quad) structure. The 4-core star quad (Star Quad) structure effectively reduces the effects of skin effect and proximity effect, and plays the role of interference prevention.
