Drawing inspiration from the famous final battle scene "Ragnarok" in Norse mythology, specifically the battle between Thor, the god of thunder, and Jormungandr, the great serpent, unfolding on the earth of Asgard where the dark battlefield is illuminated by two dazzling flashes of fire. Kinera designers absorbed and perfected the styles of antique decorations from the medieval period, Georgian era, and Baroque style. Complex patterns, bold color combinations, and strong mythological elements unite modern design styles and jewelry processing technologies to present the mythological elements of the Ragnarok story.
To create intricate design details for ThorKing's faceplate, the Kinera design team embarked on a journey, studying the art of jewelry making. The sand-golden texture was achieved using the lost-wax casting method, as well as hand engraving, shaping, and sandblasting. It was then adorned with enamel style details, 24-carat gold plating, and two thermo-treated dark red zircons set on the bezel. Through numerous meticulous procedures, the texture of the faceplate gradually emerged. In the light, the bright ruby-red color became even more expressive against the gold and deep black enamel, exuding a sense of understated luxury.
Based on impressions of Thor's strength, thunder, and lightning, the Kinera acoustic engineering team based ThorKing on a micro-V-tuning. In terms of driver combination and distribution, it stands out with rare high density and vivid multilayer resolution. Its sound field is wide and open, transparent and natural, with clean and delicate background. It excellently reproduces details, possesses full and sufficient bass power, wide dynamic range with strong expressiveness, fast and accurate transient responses. It can easily handle not only a wide range of pop vocal music but also large classical symphonies, small musical pieces, chamber music, etc.
The 10-millimeter composite polymer fiber driver is responsible for reproducing low frequencies. Polymer fiber materials have excellent strength, high rigidity, and low density, allowing for increased efficiency of linear driver vibrations and restoration of the original timbre. Combined with the front acoustic chamber made by 3D printing, the driver pressure relief is enhanced. Meanwhile, the well-calculated channel diameter improves texture and bass extension.
Two Knowles BA drivers handle mid and low frequencies. Due to the electronic crossover and physical crossover acoustic architecture, they impose a sense of low-frequency energy and provide a smooth transition to high frequencies.
To enhance the acoustic characteristics of the combined BA drivers, engineers developed the Gemini-structure acoustic connecting channel. This design involves placing four combined Knowles BA drivers in the Gemini structure, effectively using space so that the sound tubes of the two groups of BA drivers are combined together. This not only efficiently controls the diameter of the output channel but also reduces the non-linear attenuation of high-frequency acoustic propagation, allowing for a better balance and further improvement of both reverb effect and sound clarity.
Kinera ThorKing is the perfect choice for those seeking high-quality wired headphones with superior sound and comfort.
