Kinera NOTT Phantom In-Ear Monitors

5 Drivers Triple Way Crossover
Nott Phantom employs a 1+2+2 three-way crossover driver configuration.

The low-frequency response is handled by an 8mm high-polymer composite diaphragm dynamic driver, delivering deep and powerful bass with ample depth, elasticity, and a sense of diffusion.

The mid-frequency range is managed by two customized Knowles full-range balanced armature drivers, utilizing precise electronic crossover technology to produce rich and detailed imaging, resulting in a warm and captivating midrange texture.

The high and ultra-high frequencies are driven by two customized Sonion balanced armature drivers, which, through a dual balanced armature composite structure, enhance high-frequency density and extension, offering clear and natural extension, precise separation of instrumental details, and an immersive atmosphere reminiscent of twinkling starlight.

Helmholtz Acoustic Structural Facecover
Kinera acoustics team utilizes a 3D-printed resin cavity paired with an open composite multi-layer faceplate, ingeniously applying the Helmholtz Resonance Effect for acoustic optimization.

By precisely designing the cavity volume and opening structure, the resonance characteristics of air within the cavity are leveraged to adjust the sound performance of specific frequency bands, significantly enhancing tonal purity and balance while markedly reducing high-frequency distortion.

This results in transparent and delicate sound details. Additionally, the open vent structure alleviates ear pressure during wear, improving comfort for extended listening sessions and enhancing the sense of an expansive soundstage.

Sound Signature
Beautiful, smooth and natural mids which are the star of the show. Bass is more atmospheric rather than impactful due to the semi-open back design. Female vocals are sweet as honey and simply captivating.

At this price bracket, there are few female vocal-centric sets that can compete with the Nott Phantom.
