Features
- KVT Kiwi Vibration Transducer The Kiwi Ears Etude was developed to showcase the KVT - Kiwi Vibration Transducer. Our in-house vibration transducer is not like bone conduction drivers currently used in earphones. Rather
- it is more akin to scaled down miniature vibration drivers that are used in bluetooth vibration speakers. The KVT uses strong N52 neodymium magnets that are suspended by heavy-tension spring systems that physically vibrate a conduction plate upon actuation by electrical currents. The KVT provides physical tactile vibrations to relay the sound
- enhancing low-mid acoustics
- Beryllium Diaphragm Subwoofers A 10mm Beryllium-electroplated diaphragm driver is utilized for the bass. Engineered to serve as a subwoofer
- the dynamic driver dishes out incredibly precise and fast kick drum hits and rich bass guitar notes. Paired with the KVT
- the lows deliver deep rumble and a 3D-like imaging
- Precision Tuning The Etude has been carefully engineered to meet Kiwi Ears standards for tonal balance. The sub-bass is powerful yet controlled at 8dB to provide the correct balance between richness and clarity. The midrange is flat and neutral
- with a 250Hz bass shelf crossover
