Moondrop Kato

Brand-New Developed ULT Super-Linear Dynamic Driver

KATO is adopted with a new independently developed 10mm ULT (Ultra-Linear-Technology) super-linear dynamic driver, which has been 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, a lighter extra-fine imported CCAW sound coil and a high-frequency phase waveguide.

3rd Generation DLC Composite Diaphragm

Moondrop has featured a 3rd generation DLC(Diamond-Like Carbon) composite diaphragm coil in the latest Kato IEMs. This diaphragm is made up of three different materials with different characteristics including DLC. DLC provides it high-rigidity, high damping coefficient. It is lightweight and sturdy. It provides great clarity in sound with lower distortion and a clean background.

Exquisite Design

KATO adopts modernist aesthetic design combining light and shadow, and continues this design elements from Kanas to KXXS. Thanks to the brand-new MIM technology, The almost all sufaces of KATO has been able to inject light and shadow design, showing a three-dimensional and rich layering.The earphone shell is cast by MIM powder metallurgy process, which can achieve high-intensity and irregular appearance. The inner surface of MIM process is a fine irregular surface, which has a positive effect on the suppression of standing waves. Every section of the surface is smooth as a mirror by the manual repeated grinding.

Replaceable Sound Nozzle Design & Developed Spring Tips

KATO adopts a replaceable sound nozzle design, which can be easily replaced by a quick-release structure with screw thread, and comes with sound nozzles made of two different materials (steel and brass). Users can not only experience the sound changes for different materials by replacing the nozzle, but also replace the blocked sound nozzle more conveniently. Moondrop has designed new spring silicone ear tips that suppress weak resonance through a special diffusion structure, prevent the bass loss caused by sound leakage.

Excellent Listening Experience

The excellent frequency response curve enables KATO to have a rare ability to highly restore the sound heard by the master when making recordings. KATO is able to more truly show the original timbre and position of musical instruments and vocals compared with ordinary "HiFi earphones", and bring you a more open and natural listening experience.
