[Push-pull type micro-planar magnetic driver Ortho] Ortho is a completely newly developed micro-planar magnetic driver by MADOO. There are two types of planar drivers: [push-pull drive] and [single drive], and Ortho uses the push-pull drive method. Due to the high degree of difficulty in incorporating it, it was difficult to make it small and lightweight enough to fit into earphones, but with the help of skilled engineers, we were able to develop a high-quality push-pull planar driver that is the size of an earphone. The tuning applied to Typ622 further brings out the potential of Ortho, which is good at a wide range of expression, from gorgeous and delicate highs to powerful lows.
[High rigid housing] Type 622 uses aluminum as the housing material, which achieves both rigidity and lightness. Based on MADOO's design philosophy that the rigidity of the housing affects the sound quality, the housing shell is made sufficiently thick and the surface is sandblasted to increase rigidity and create a finish that does not compromise on sound quality. The housing is designed by experienced metalworking engineers and manufactured using a high-precision multi-axis CNC cutting machine.
[Optimized shape derived from ear molds of 300 people] MADOO designs and develops products based on the [Asian ears] mainly in Japan, Hong Kong, China, Korea, etc., which are the main markets for Hi-Fi earphones. We have designed an excellent housing design that combines high-quality fit and design based on the ear mold data of 300 people collected over a period of about 3 years in the Asian region. In addition, we have adopted an oval stem to fit the oval ear canal common to the human body. The natural fit reduces loss and provides highly pure MADOO sound.
[Sapphire crystal that combines aesthetics and functionality] Based on MADOO's concept of [earphones that can be used for many years], the profound design is inspired by a submarine or a clock window. The concept window material is sapphire crystal, which boasts a Mohs hardness of 9, achieving heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent durability that ordinary glass or plastic materials cannot have. In addition, the air gap created by the window plays a role in controlling the back pressure of the speaker unit, maximizing the performance of the driver. We followed the octagonal design common to the second generation MADOO brand lineup and adopted a color design that expresses the [heavy sound] of the Typ622.
[Custom cable by Hi-Fi earphone brand [Acoustune]] The included earphone cable is a 4-core cable made of silver coated copper wire under the supervision of our brother brand [Acoustune]. The silver coat reduces sound quality loss and brings out the original performance of the earphones. The connector section uses the [Pentaconn Ear] connector designed and produced by Nippon Dicks Co., Ltd., which boasts high sound quality and high reliability. Compared to conventional MMCX connectors, the plug and socket parts come into closer contact, resulting in superior conduction performance, as well as ease of attachment and detachment and robustness. The product comes with two cables as standard: [MRC011 (3.5mm 3-pole L-shaped gold-plated plug)] and [MRC023 (4.4mm 5-pole L-shaped gold-plated plug)].
