MOONDROP Kato - Dynamic matte in-ear monitors

AFTER THREE YEARS OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, THE FLAGSHIP BENCHMARK OF NEXT-GENERATION DYNAMIC IEM HAS BEEN CREATED.

Our R&D team focused on demonstrating and developing a new generation of flagship 10mm dynamic transducer before KXXS to significantly improve linear dynamic range and achieve nonlinear full-frequency distortion comparable to full-size electrostatic headphones.

KXXS has gained a lot of international recognition since its release due to its accurate timbre, restored sound image and excellent resolution. It has been missing for a long time and has repeatedly climbed the highest sales volume in the same price range. Improving it in all aspects was a great challenge.

After multiple design, verification and improvement for more than 2 years, we have developed a brand new super-linear dynamic transducer ULT (Ultra-Linear-Technology), which presents stronger dynamics, less distortion, more restored timbre, a more open listening experience and richer but natural details.

MOONDROP PRESENTS: ΚΑΤΟ

KATO optimized the structure and volume of the ULT dynamic transducer as well as the acoustic cavity by simulating FEA final elements combined with multiple experimental verification to achieve unparalleled linear distortion performance. It is characterized by excellent amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics, thanks to which the timbre and sound stage are better reproduced. We have developed brand new Spring Tips silicone earbuds to further optimize the color of KATO headphones, which not only improve wearing comfort and prevent sound leakage, but also inhibit poor resonance of the sound outlet from the ear tips, improving the linearity of high frequencies and introducing a more natural color.

We strive to create the perfect sound for KATO. It’s unparalleled performance at a great price, regardless of the sound source. It's a listening experience and design that continues and sublimates the power of this series.

AESTHETICS OF LIGHT AND SHADOW

KATO adopts a modernist aesthetic combining light and shadow and continues these design elements from Kanas to KXXS. Thanks to the completely new MIM technology, almost all KATO surfaces were able to introduce elements of light and shadow, showing three-dimensional and rich surface layers.

MIM POWDER METALLURGY PROCESS - STAINLESS STEEL CASTING - MANUAL GRINDING AND POLISHING

The headphone housing is cast in the MIM powder metallurgy process, which allows for an intense and irregular look. The inner surface of the MIM process is fine and irregular, which has a positive effect on the suppression of standing waves. Each section of the surface is smooth as a mirror thanks to manual multiple sanding.

(Dark Blue) - VACUUM TREATMENT OF PVD TITANIUM

The headphone housing is cast in the MIM powder metallurgy process, which can achieve high intensity and irregular appearance. The inner surface of the MIM process is a fine irregular surface that has a positive effect on the suppression of standing waves. After repeated manual grinding, the PVD vacuum coating process used for titanium surface coating was adopted, which not only provides excellent visual color saturation, but is characterized by both wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

(Matte KATO) - MULTIPLE MATTE FINISH

The headphone housing is cast in the MIM powder metallurgy process, which can achieve high intensity and irregular appearance. The inner surface of the MIM process is a fine irregular surface that has a positive effect on the suppression of standing waves. After manual finishing and grinding the edge of the matte surface, all surfaces are subjected to jet-abrasive treatment to maintain transparency, providing a rich texture, strong and abrasion-resistant surface.

NEWLY DEVELOPED DYNAMIC ULT SUPERLINEAR TRANSDUCER

KATO was equipped with a new, independently developed, superlinear dynamic transducer ULT (Ultra-Linear-Technology) 10 mm, which was developed for two years. It includes a more efficient composite magnetic circuit with internal and external magnets and a more linear air circulation structure, as well as a larger brass internal acoustic cavity and a lighter, very thin imported CCAW sound coil and high frequency phase waveguide.

It presents excellent dynamics and abundance of detail and has incredible performance for both nonlinear distortion and linear distortion by simulating FEM final elements integrated with multiple experimental verification, combining multiple technologies.

COMPOSITE MEMBRANE DLC (DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON) 3. GENERATION

KATO’s ULT superlinear unit is also equipped with a self-designed, high-performance composite DLC membrane that uses three materials with different properties, including DLC, to form different parts of the membrane. DLC is characterized by high rigidity, high damping coefficient and light weight, as well as versatile acoustic parameters that exceed even beryllium.

The all-new third-generation DLC composite membrane is designed based on a demonstrative combination of acoustic properties of materials, and its vibration modality is simulated by a FEA finite element and repeated adjustments. These special materials used in the right proportions can improve elongation details at high frequencies and dynamic range, build system attenuation and increase transient details. They can also reduce nonlinear distortion by at least 80% compared to the previous generation DLC composite membrane.

SUSTAINABLE TUNING STRUCTURE

The KATO front acoustic cavity was demonstrated and calculated on the basis of the characteristics of the transducer, using volume and structure simulations, using FEM finite element simulations and verification and improvements through repeated experiments. Combined with the high-frequency phase waveguide components installed in the transducer, the acoustic performance of the KATO front chamber is much better than other so-called special tuning elements, presenting excellent frequency response and high-frequency phase efficiency, which is a hardware guarantee for natural, balanced tuning.

CONSTRUCTION OF INTERCHANGEABLE ACOUSTIC NOZZLES

KATO uses a system of interchangeable sound nozzles that can be easily replaced. Two sound nozzles made of different materials (steel and brass) are available. Users can therefore experience changes in sound for different materials by replacing the nozzle.

PATENTED ANTI-LOCK ACOUSTIC FILTER 3. GENERATION

The KATO nozzle is integrated with a brand new, improved, patented third-generation anti-lock filter, which has a better effect of preventing oily earwax from blocking filters to a greater extent and is more conducive to high-frequency mid-frequency sound quality than the previous generation.

NEW SILICONE EAR TIPS

KATO is equipped with newly designed and developed spring tips that suppress poor resonance thanks to a special diffusion structure and significantly reduce the linear high-frequency distortion caused by nozzle resonance, making the high-frequency color more natural. At the same time, the special tip material can better fit into the ear canal without stickiness and is equipped with a special support design to prevent bass loss caused by sound leakage.

INCREASED PERFORMANCE IN VARIOUS ACOUSTIC INDICATORS

KATOs have been significantly improved in various indices by integrating several completely new technologies, resulting in better performance. Not only is it characterized by a frequency response curve that is highly consistent with the VDSF target response[1] and a simple full frequency phase, but it also has nonlinear distortion comparable to full-size electrostatic headphones and total harmonic distortion at medium-low frequencies is even lower than 0,05%.

[1] The VDSF target response curve is an HRTF-based frequency response target curve (head-associated transfer function) of B&K HATS in the diffusion field and an ideal preferential curve. The closer the frequency response curve measured by the headphones under B&K HATS is to the target frequency response curve, the more the headphones can restore the timbre and images of the soundstage in terms of frequency response.

The excellent frequency response curve enables KATO to reproduce the sound heard by the sound engineer during recording. KATO is able to more faithfully show the original timbre and position of musical instruments and vocals compared to ordinary “HiFi headphones” and provides a more open and natural listening experience.

The full frequency is lower than 0,15%, and the total harmonic distortion even lower than 0,05% in most frequencies, providing a more pure and realistic color, thereby eliminating problems with the color of impetuous and rigid, especially dynamic headphones and hybrid headphones [2]. Even if the distortions are very low, they are virtually dominated by even harmonics, which ensures that KATO will not cause any negative listening sensations caused by nonlinear distortions, so that the sound will be delicate and harmonious.

[2]The harmonic distortion of the dynamic transducer is mainly dominated by odd harmonics with a rigid sound.

HIGH-END AUDIO CABLE

KATO is equipped as standard with a thick, silver-plated high-purity copper cable with a 4-wire star-tangled structure that can effectively reduce the impact of the epidermal effect and proximity effect and plays an anti-interference role. At the same time, the cable is covered with improved mixed high transmittance materials, which not only have a very low dielectric coefficient, but also look good.

[3] Pin 0,78 has a special extended specification, has a special size suitable for KATO, which can increase its stability and will not affect the compatibility of the female jack, but may not be compatible with other headphones.

UNIVERSAL REPLACEMENT CABLE 2PIN

KATO fits 0,78 2pin gold plated connector, and the female socket adopts sunken design, which can largely prevent pin damage caused by bending and has excellent compatibility. To extend the application, users can replace most 2-pin 0,78 cables on the market or Bluetooth module for hanging around the neck.
