【𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞】The most important factor of the Orchestra Lite was to preserve a natural and balanced tonal signature as its predecessor. Furthermore, in order to be suitable for professional musicians and audio engineers, through the three-way passive crossover strategy, the Orchestra Lite perfectly reflects the sound of professional studio monitors and is the perfect companion to stage musicians, audio engineers, and music enjoyers who want to listen to music as it was intended.
【𝐀 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝】Orchestra Lite utilizes a three-way passive crossover strategy to achieve intricate layering and reduce total harmonic distortion. The bass has been restricted to sub-bass frequencies, with a peak of 8dB volume from 20Hz to 200Hz. The mids region is retained at neutral, with only a 1dB difference from 200Hz to 800Hz. The treble has been perfectly matched with the human ear’s pinna perception, with a 7dB peak at 2.5kHz and a slow natural decay towards 10kHz
【𝐀 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜, 𝐑𝐞-𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝】The Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite was built on the same foundation as the original Orchestra, yet redesigned to be more efficient, both in performance and cost. The Orchestra Lite features the same 8 balanced armature driver configurations and the famed tonal balance as its predecessor including two custom ultra tweeters for the treble, four custom mid-range balanced armature drivers for the mids, and two subwoofer drivers for the lows.
【𝟓 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝟒 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬】The Kiwi Ears Quintet utilizes 4 different types of drivers, consisting of 1 Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) dynamic driver, 2 balanced armature (BA) drivers, 1 planar magnetic driver, and 1 piezoelectric (PZT) bone conductor. With a total of 5 drivers per ear, the Quintet delivers extremely high-resolution audio comparable to professional studio monitors. With this advanced driver configuration, the Kiwi Ears Quintet delivers not only exceptional clarity and precision across the entire frequency range but also a truly immersive soundstage that brings your music to life.
【𝐂𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐭】A large 10mm DLC driver was selected as the sub-woofer due to DLC’s high responsiveness and tensile strength, which pumps out impactful bass slams, but with fast decay speeds. 2 Knowles balanced armature drivers deliver natural and resolving mids, a classic example of why balanced armatures are beloved in the industry. We are excited to announce the utilization of AMT Acoustic’s planar tweeter drivers in the Quintet. With an extremely low noise floor and high output capacity, these planar magnetic drivers deliver crisp and detailed treble.
【𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞】A balanced sound signature is a core belief at Kiwi Ears. The Quintet took almost a year in development due to the engineering difficulty of combining all of its driver types. However, the result is a completely balanced tone that accurately reflects the best qualities of each driver. The sub-bass hits strong and fast, with a 9dB shelf that transitions into flat mids at 300Hz. This mids-bass transition ensures that there is a slight warmth in the lower mids for bass guitar notes to be in the mix, but still retain studio-monitor-like neutrality to the upper mids.
