Loki, one of the Norse gods – the god of fire, mischief, and evil. 

Loki is a giant born of the enemy of the gods. He is the son of the giant Fárbauti and Laufey, a giantess, and became a member of the Aesir gods in Asgard after becoming a blood brother of Odin. 

He is handsome and charming, but also deceitful and capricious, possessing both good and evil qualities. He presides over fire, trickery, and lying. Due to his frequent mischiefs, he was disliked by the gods, he was later imprisoned in a cave after murdering the God of Light Baldr and prevented his resurrection. Snake venom was dripped on his face daily, causing his once handsome face to become ugly and grotesque. It wasn’t until the Ragnarok that he broke free and faced the guardian god Heimdallr in battle. Loki was defeated by Heimdallr, and both of them perished. 

Kinera Loki

Loki, the god of fire, has extraordinary strength due to his noble birth, and his mischievous character makes him a challenger to order, indirectly leading to the creation of “Ragnarok.” 

Kinera’s designer uses fiery red lava to symbolize Loki, possessing the power of fire. The blue colour symbolises the surface of the earth. When Loki engages in mischief, accompanied by a volcanic eruption, the earth’s crust cracks, and the hot magma flows and churns along the surface, shocking the energy of Asgard and heralding the arrival of a new era of world renewal.

TUNING CONCEPT 

Balanced atmospheric sound style, with slightly prominent mid–range (vocals), solid and stable bass, abundant energy, detailed and delicate high–end, and a tidy soundstage. Suitable for pop, jazz, and small ensemble recordings. 

SOUND CHARACTERISTICS 

A flagship quadbrid unit earbud with outstanding detail performance that combines the characteristics of multiple acoustic drivers. It has good elasticity and clear, deep bass. The mid–range (vocals) has a strong sense of density and distinct layers, and the high–end is transparent, delicate, and well–extended, with delicate and rich overtones thanks to the electrostatic unit. The ultra–wide frequency response brings an expansive, transparent soundstage space.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION 

FLAGSHIP COMBINATION, GRANDEUR EXPERIENCE 

1DD 6BA 4EST 1BONE CONDUCTION DRIVER 

1DD FOR BASS AND SUBBASS 

One single 6mm dynamic driver is responsible for the low–frequency range. 

Kinera’s custom–made 6mm liquid diaphragm dynamic driver has excellent acoustic performance. Combined with a reasonable acoustic structure design, it can deliver a very relaxed, natural low–frequency performance that is full and elastic. 

4 MID RANGE BA + 2 TREBLE BA 

Six Knowles balanced armatures include four mid–range and two high–frequency drivers. Custom–tuned by Kinera, these Knowles balanced armatures are responsible for Loki’s mid–range, with two additional Knowles balanced armatures connecting the mid and high frequencies via clever electronic and physical crossovers. Through fine tuning, they can handle both the natural low–frequency performance of the dynamic driver and the high–frequency advantage unique to electrostatic drivers, achieving a seamless integration of high, mid and low frequencies. 

4 EST DRIVES FOR ULTRA HIGH FREQUENCY AND AIRINESS 

Four electrostatic drivers are responsible for the ultra–high frequencies. One Sonion electrostatic driver works with four others to deliver Loki’s 

ultra–high frequency range, utilizing the wider frequency range, better transient response, stronger detail performance, and brighter yet still smooth sound characteristics of electrostatic drivers to interpret Loki’s sound. This results in extremely low distortion and a more realistic sound, 

bringing a bright and warm auditory experience. 

1 BONE CONDUCTION DRIVER 

One bone conduction driver uses a contact–type bone conduction driver. 

Kinera’s custom–made contact–type bone conduction driver works in tandem with the low–frequency dynamic driver, providing a deeper, ultra–low–frequency performance with a unique bass presentation, forming an almost bottomless dive.
