The Pinnacle of 1DD Budget IEMs: The Cadenza II combines all of Kiwi Ear’s experience in developing 1 dynamic driver in-ear monitors. From the latest dynamic driver, the utilization of KARS 2.0, unparalleled tonal balance, and premium build quality, the Cadenza II makes no compromises despite its affordable price. · KARS 2.0: Cadenza II debuts next-gen Kiwi Acoustic Resonance System: KARS 2.0. Optimized for greater efficiency, better integrated into the acoustic design, and precise low-end tuning, it elevates performance. With KARS 2.0, the Cadenza II boasts pin-point sub-bass: 8dB powerful lows, precisely cutting off at 200Hz for clean, subwoofer-true clarity. New to KARS 2.0, the low-midrange is delicately tuned, a 300~400Hz bump fits modern tuning tastes, delivering lush, uncolored midrange warmth · New Titanium-Coated Diaphragm Driver: To maximize technicalities and sound quality, a new dynamic driver has been developed. A new titanium-coated polyethylene terephthalate diaphragm, which combines the strength of titanium with the fluidity of polyethylene terephthalate was developed. Combined with a new powerful magnetic array structure, this dynamic driver provides the highest technicalities and resolution among Kiwi Ears’ dynamic drivers so far. · Unparalleled Tonal Superiority: Cadenza II was painstakingly tuned, first redesigning KARS 2.0 to match the new dynamic driver, with adjustments at the micrometer scale to perfectly tune the subbass. The midrange required a slight hump to bring out vocal warmth and lushness, which perfectly balances neutrality without being sterile. Treble peaks perfectly at 3kHz - a feat requiring us to go back and redesign the acoustic structure of the driver itself. The treble decay is smooth and extended · Premium Construction: To showcase its premium sound, the Cadenza II had to look and feel as elegant. The shell material has been upgraded to a durable polycarbonate composite, which is stronger than typical resin or plastic, while offering a lush velvet-like texture to the touch. The faceplate is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and laser engraved to achieve a subtle, yet distinct honeycomb design. · Detachable Cable System: The Cadenza II comes equipped with a 2-pin 0.78mm detachable cable system. Composed of single-crystal oxygen-free copper wires, the cable allows noise-free crystal clear signal transmission. You can mix and match different cables with the Cadenza II to fit your preferences, as well as extend the longevity of the IEM.
