Moondrop Kadenz 10mm Dynamic Driver in-Ear Headphone 4.4 3.5mm USB-C Plug

- Kadenz utilizes a ULT-Gen2 patented super-linear dynamic driver that delivers significant improvements gained through the design of earlier models. lts brand-new irregular magnetic circuit was designed using FEA finite element simulation and topology optimization, and features pressure balance channels for different vibration regions.The unique dome-shaped vent is used to suppress treble standing waves on the inside of the diaphragm and protect the diaphragm and coil from high dynamic stress. - Thanks to several innovative modifications of driver structure and new magnetic circuit materials, Kadenz not only has ultra-low nonlinear distortion close to the critical value that can be measured in the laboratory under the standard 1Pa measured sound pressure(94dB), but also maintains ultra-low nonlinear distortion under far greater sound pressures, thus delivering outstanding dynamic performance. - Kadenz ships with a high-quality single-crystal copper silver-plated Litz cable, and is equipped with 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced replaceable plugs for easy matching to different playback devices. - The ECHO-B uses a USB-Cuniversal plug, making it compatible with smartphones, laptops, computers, and iP15 without needing a driver. lt is fully compatible with PC, Android, and i0S, and offers lossless sound quality. - ECHO-B is equipped with a new online interactive DSP.In addition to the five built-in tuning configurations, users can also select different tuning configurations or customize parametric equalizers through the new MOONDROP APP.Users can download tuning optimization configurations contributed by others and upload their own tunings.

Product description

Product information

Using LCP (liquid crystal polymer) as the dome substrate, a deposition process usually reserved for expensive precision devices creates a high-rigidity artificial diamond layer with a SP3 bond much higher than that of DLC, giving the dome material higher rigidity and more balanced internal damping than previous solutions, thereby delivering greater extension and richer details in the treble region than previous generations of comparable drivers. Selecting flexible,high-damping polyurethane as the suspension material ensures better bass dynamics and lower distortion at large amplitudes. The Kadenz diaphragm composed of three high-performance materials results in a dynamic driver that is in no way inferior to triple-frequency hybrids.

In order to accommodate the newly developed driver, MOONDROP adjusted and verified the internal structure of the cavity through directional simulation, 3D printing tests and molding adjustments. After nearly one year of multiple verifications, the optimum acoustic cavity for a more balanced sound was achieved.

Because of individual differences in the structure of the ear canal, ultra-high frequency coupling will vary, and it is difficult to derive average values using standard ear simulators.

In order to meet the demanding requirements of more discerning users for the treble coupling characteristics of headphones, Kadenz ships with three nozzles with different physical specifications. Users can select the nozzle that best matches their own ear canal coupling. thus ensuring a higher quality listening experience.

The nozzle is equipped with a brand-new improved third-generation patented anti-blocking filter that is more effective than previous iterations, greatly reducing oily earwax build-up, and offering better performance in the mid-high frequency band.

A powerful new driver, more rigorous acoustic design, and multi-stage acoustic adjustments result in a brand-new benchmark in the objective acoustic performance of single dynamic-driver lEMs. Kadenz delivers highly coupled frequency characteristics with more balanced details and excellent ultra-low distortion, even under large dynamics.

The Kadenz shell is cast using the MlM powder metallurgy process, which allows for irregularity while preserving high rigidity. Thanks to this process, the inner surface of the shell is subtly granular, contributing to the suppression of standing waves. After hand-polishing the outer shell, all surfaces undergo high-purpose sandblasting treatment to maintain clear edges, achieve a matte surface with an elegant texture, and improve wear resistance.

In common with previous designs in this series, Kadenz uses a gold-plated 0.78mm 2-pin design with a sunken female socket, protecting the pins from strain and fracture, and ensuring excellent compatibility.Users can replace the 0.78mm 2-pin cable with cables of their choice to expand usage scenarios.

Kadenz ships with a high-quality single-crystal copper silver-plated Litz cable, and is equipped with 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced replaceable plugs for easy matching to different playback devices.

The ECHO-B uses a USB-C universal plug, making it compatible with smartphones, laptops, computers, and iPhone 15 without needing a driver. lt is fully compatible with MAC, PC, Android, and iOS, and offers lossless sound quality.
