Volcanic Eruption
Loki, the Scandinavian god of fire, possesses exceptional strength, noble origins, and mischievous character. When Loki plays a prank, the earth around erupts with lava flows, symbolized in the design of the Kinera Imperial Loki earphones.
Sound Philosophy
Balanced atmospheric sound style, emphasizing vocals slightly, stable and energetic bass, detailed refined highs, and a wide soundstage. These earphones are best suited for listening to pop music, jazz, and small ensemble recordings.
Acoustic Characteristics
The flagship Kinera Imperial Loki earphones with 12 drivers deliver incredibly detailed sound, thanks to a combination of different types of transducers. The low frequencies are energetic and deep, mid frequencies are precise and clear, high frequencies are transparent and detailed. The electrostatic transducers enrich the main notes with overtones, while the ultra-wide frequency range creates an extensive soundstage.
1 Dynamic Driver for Low Frequencies
A 6mm dynamic driver is responsible for the low-frequency range. Developed by Kinera and equipped with an LCP diaphragm, this custom driver delivers natural, expressive, and deep low frequencies.
4 + 2 Knowles Armature Drivers for Mids and Highs
6 Knowles balanced armature drivers, including 4 for mids and 2 for highs, have been custom-tuned by Kinera specialists. These drivers, enhanced with electronic and physical crossovers, produce pronounced sound without overshadowing the bass or electrostatic ultra-high transducers, resulting in a seamless and natural overall sound.
4 Sonion Electrostatic Transducers for Ultra-High Frequencies
4 electrostatic transducers handle ultra-high frequencies, expanding the headphones' frequency range, adding brightness, and creating an airy sound.
1 Bone Conduction Emitter
The bone conduction emitter of the Kinera Imperial Loki is a contact-type driver, another of Kinera's proprietary developments. Working in tandem with the dynamic driver, it enhances the bass, making it deeper, brighter, and more energetic.
