With more power and less distortion than the original KXXS, the Kato is a full-frequency IEM with nonlinear distortion that’s comparable to electrostatic headphones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMirror Silver\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe earphone shell is cast by metal injection molding, a process that combines two established technologies, plastic injection molding and powdered metallurgy, to create a nuanced three-dimensional design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrand new ULT super-linear dynamic driver\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Kato uses a new 10mm ULT super-linear dynamic driver that uses a more efficient composite magnetic circuit, a more linear air circulation structure, as well as a larger brass internal acoustic cavity. Other improvements include a lighter CCAW sound coil and a high-frequency phase waveguide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3rd generation DLC composite diaphragm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Kato uses a DLC (diamond-like carbon) composite diaphragm. This third-generation diaphragm is so lightweight and rigid that it reduces nonlinear distortion by at least 80% compared to previous generations of Moondrop diaphragms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInterchangeable nozzle design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCustomize the sound of the Kato by switching out the ear tips. The Kato comes with two brass and two steel tips that can be released by screwing and unscrewing them from the chassis.
