GJALLARHORN JM Edición Mar Báltico

AURICULARES TIPO BOCINA DE ALTO RENDIMIENTO
MEMBRANAS DE GRAFENO

“Cuando el sonido te atrapa por completo”

Kennerton Gjallarhorn: ¡los primeros auriculares con bocina del mundo!

Los auriculares tipo bocina son musicalidad, integridad de percepción, armonía general, sonido natural y la capacidad de capturar completamente al oyente.

--

JM Edition es una modificación acústica de los auriculares Gjallarhorn, que fue fabricada por John Massaria , uno de los primeros propietarios de Gjallarhorns.

Consideramos que valía la pena ser un modelo aparte y ahora le ofrecemos la versión oficial del taller de Kennerton.

Podrás leer en profundidad sobre la modificación de primera mano, del propio autor.

Las principales diferencias se refieren a la forma del megáfono y al cambio del inversor de fase. Esto modificó significativamente el acento del sonido de los auriculares sin perder calidad en absoluto.

Nombramos el modelo en honor al autor: JM Edition.

La ventaja más importante de los auriculares de bocina es la capacidad de desarrollar una buena presión sonora y ofrecer una dinámica excelente desde los primeros milivatios con distorsiones mínimas.

Los auriculares de bocina reproducen los matices musicales más sutiles y transmiten de forma más completa y precisa las emociones de los intérpretes.

La bocina de los auriculares crea un efecto de presencia total, proporciona una dinámica micro-macro excepcional y un patrón direccional amplio en el plano horizontal.

Las frecuencias altas y medias reproducidas a través de un instrumento tienen una energía y una transparencia completamente diferentes. Las frecuencias bajas, reproducidas a través de un instrumento, tienen una plenitud y una potencia naturales.

MEMBRANAS DE GRAFENO DE ALTO RENDIMIENTO

Todo comenzó con el desarrollo de un nuevo material de alta tecnología llamado “grafeno”.

El grafeno, para explicarlo de forma sencilla, es una lámina bidimensional de carbono de tan solo un átomo de espesor. Sus propiedades físicas son verdaderamente únicas:

  • Es 300 veces más fuerte que el acero.
  • No tiene resistencia interna
  • Es increíblemente ligero

Como actualmente la producción de membranas de grafeno puro es muy difícil y lleva mucho tiempo y puede costar una fortuna, decidimos crear un híbrido de mylar y grafeno en polvo aplicado por método térmico. De este modo, pudimos mejorar significativamente las características del altavoz dinámico clásico, como la resistencia de la membrana, su rigidez y la absorción de resonancias parásitas. Esta membrana de alta tecnología requería el correspondiente "motor" inflexible. Por ello, hemos equipado el altavoz con una bobina móvil de aluminio ultraligera (CCAW), recubierta con una capa muy fina de cobre para aumentar su conductividad. Y la bobina se pone en movimiento mediante un potente imán hecho de aleación de NdFeB, que en tamaño y potencia del campo magnético supera en 3-4 veces a los imanes de altavoces similares de la competencia. Todas estas soluciones de ingeniería proporcionaron al altavoz un alto rango dinámico, un sonido con detalles sorprendentes, una distorsión muy baja y acercaron la calidad de sonido del altavoz a los representantes de la tecnología magnética planar.

Durante el año pasado, hemos creado varios prototipos de auriculares prometedores basados ​​en estos desarrollos, y uno de ellos incluso se lanzó para uno de los proyectos de nuestros socios. Pero fue solo a través de una larga investigación y experimentación que pudimos obtener el concepto de sonido que perseguimos durante mucho tiempo y que se adapta perfectamente al marco de los productos Kennerton.

Nuestro nuevo driver es un sistema de tipo compresión, es decir, su membrana tiene una suspensión extremadamente suave y además se apoya en la elasticidad del volumen de aire de la cámara acústica, representada por la copa del auricular.

Esto se hace para reducir la frecuencia de resonancia de la dinámica y, en consecuencia, la profundidad de las frecuencias bajas reproducidas. Esta característica hace que el altavoz sea extremadamente sensible a cualquier cambio más mínimo en el diseño acústico, su volumen y su relleno. Además, la membrana se "calienta" (entra en el modo de funcionamiento nominal, se deshace de las tensiones internas, se vuelve más blanda en los lugares de flexión de la suspensión) durante bastante tiempo: al menos 72 horas de trabajo según los resultados de nuestras pruebas. Y para un "calentamiento" completo, generalmente se necesita hasta una semana del tiempo total que deberían funcionar los auriculares. Todo esto hizo que nuestros ingenieros trabajaran muy duro, pero todos los que pudieron escuchar el sonido de los auriculares finalmente se sorprendieron por el gran resultado.

Pudimos lograr una alta compatibilidad tanto con sistemas de alta gama como con dispositivos de gama baja, manteniendo al mismo tiempo un nivel de sonido constantemente alto, limitado por las capacidades de la fuente, en lugar de los auriculares en sí.

Para los Kennerton Gjallarhorn, utilizamos una diadema de acero con un mínimo de piezas móviles, lo que significa una máxima fiabilidad. Las copas de los auriculares, fabricadas en madera preciosa, no solo son bonitas y agradables al tacto, sino que también aportan notas cálidas y naturales al sonido de los auriculares, eliminando los molestos matices "plásticos" de los modelos de la competencia. El diseño ligero, que se adapta automáticamente a la cabeza del usuario y las almohadillas de cuero auténtico proporcionan la máxima comodidad para escuchar durante mucho tiempo.

CABLE OFC DE 2 METROS DE ALTA CALIDAD

CON CONECTORES CHAPADOS EN RODIO DE 3,5 MM Y CONECTOR TRS 6,3 CHAPADO EN ORO.

Las almohadillas para los oídos están hechas a mano con piel de cordero suave procedente de una remota región montañosa del norte del Cáucaso.
Todos los repuestos son productos originales Kennerton y coinciden con la calidad y la artesanía que caracterizan a Kennerton.

COJINES DE PIEL DE CORDERO

Almohadillas suaves para una máxima comodidad.
El diseño coloca al controlador a una distancia óptima del oído, mejora el escenario sonoro/la imagen y la coherencia musical.

Kennerton Gjallarhorn es un nuevo nivel en su segmento: soluciones de diseño clásico con el espíritu de la “vieja escuela”, los mejores materiales naturales y las altas tecnologías modernas hacen de este modelo un modelo excepcional, muy apreciado tanto por los audiófilos como por la industria del audio profesional.

El kit incluye un cómodo estuche de cuero ecológico para guardar y transportar los auriculares de forma segura.

Great sound

I spoke to a customer rep. for 30 seconds, got off the phone ordered online and 21 hours later the headphones were at my door. How is that for service? There is a lot for me to say about these phones but i will try to keep it as short as possible. I have to admit while opening the box i had the same excited feeling i had in the early seventies when i recieved my Koss pro 4 aa headphones for Christmas. But when i listened to them it took me back to the sound of my families high end horn speakers in the late sixties. I've been listening mainly to a Fostex th 900 mk2 for 7 years so i will be making comparisons between the two. First off the treble on these is much smoother, lacking the harshness of the Fostex but still retains the crisp top end that love. The midrange is actually more coherent than Fostex, lacking the occasional muddiness. The bass is also much better, tighter and less boomy. The soundstage of the Kennerton is ever so slightly smaller than the Fostex but the overall sound to my ears is much better. These headphones are extremely musical, fun, and revealing. I think that most people will really enjoy the sweet sound of horn headphones with the exception of some in the high end community. These have massive bass and we know how some of those so called audiophiles feel about that. The only complaint i have is with either the headband, the ear cushions or both. It's difficult to get a good seal for maximum sound impact. It's also somewhat uncomfortable. I suspect the culprit is the ear cushions rather than the headband. I have had replacement ear cushions of similar texture for my other headphones and have had the same issues. The Kennertons also take a while to burn in. I noticed a substantial change somewhere between 12 and 14 hours. The combination of uncomfortable head band and very long burn in time to get to the sweet horn sound to me was definitely worth it, but maybe not so much for others in todays faster paced world. To be fair the problems with the fit might just be with me. I'm getting old and my body is changing, maybe my head is shrinking, up top. Seriously these headphones offer a warm, full, rich extreme musical experience but it takes time and of course is somewhat source dependent. Sound quality is the most important thing to these ears so despite my minor quibbles these are now my go to headphones. Thanks Audio 46.

loving me some Kennertons

Really like my new Ghorns. 46 did ship quickly and they arrived on schedule. Only wonder why no price drop as the euro devaluation?? But I will definitely consider 46 in all future purchases. Overall awesome experience!

Gjallarhorn GH 50 JM Stabilized Maple Blue LE - articulate, authoritative, beautiful, superbly comfortable, and offering a compellingly wide soundstage (esp for closed-backs)

I took a chance w/a blind-buy after reading so much positive buzz; I'm definitely glad I did--these cans are keepers! For starters, I can't imagine anyone NOT finding them extremely comfortable, even for longer listening sessions. The padded suspension system works incredibly well to distribute what little weight there is across a wide swathe of scalp real estate. The deep, buttery soft earpads are large enough to absorb what little clamping force you might feel against your ears/face. Unlike some users, I didn't find it necessary to bend the headband for optimum comfort or sonics--fitment & clamping force was gentle, but not egregiously so...I could move my head freely & not feel like they were going to slip off, nor did I need to readjust them when I settled down. For comparison, many regard the Meze Empyrean as one of the more comfortable HPs you can don...IMO, this isn't hyperbole--the Empy's suspension system puts them at (or at least near) the top of the HP comfort pile. The GH 50 JMs come in 24 grams lighter & would probably tie (or even beat) the Empy for comfort if the earpads were just a hair larger. At least in my case, the Empy's anatomical earpad shape fully encircles my entire ear; the GH 50 JM's earpads overlap some of my lower earlobes just slightly. Now, those earpads are still soft and thick enough that they don't really create any appreciable discomfort in use, but if you have larger ears, the Gjallarhorn's circular earpads might not provide a totally, pressure-free, over-the-ears fitment. That said, you'd still be VERY hard-pressed to find a set of HPs of this caliber (and at this price) feeling quite so pillow-soft & comfortable overall. Construction is something of a statement, especially in this price-range. There is no cheap-looking plastic anywhere to be found; metal, leather, & polished wood greet you from all directions. Leather accents on the outside of the earpads, with their inlaid Kennerton medallions, are a striking complement to the blue stabilized maple cups. The finish/stain on the cups is something pretty special as well, with the color taking on a slightly chameleon-esque quality...or at least this is so on the set I have--individual wood grain & variations in finish obviously makes each set unique, which is also part of the appeal, IMO. It's hard to get a photo of the effect, but off-angle, the color on my set has a darker, almost stormy sea-blue color, but as you rotate the HPs and look straight-on at either the sides or front-facing edging, the color changes to a brilliant, nearly indigo blue, w/some creamy beige wood grain highlights thrown in for good measure. The metal collars around the 3.5mm plugs on each earcup are slightly raised, rather than recessed into the cups, so you don't have to worry about dinging up the beautiful wood finish while struggling to hit the holes with your cable connectors. In all, the Gjallarhorns look & feel like a serious bit of audiophile kit that definitely warrant the price you pay. Finally, the sound quality was simply superb, definitely befitting HPs that command a price north of a grand. I found them to be very articulate & airy up high, especially rendering things like female vocals or acoustic guitars with a sense of realism, speed, & detail that rivaled the performance of the similarly outstanding (& similarly priced) Focal Radiance. Yet despite this apparent sense of increased clarity or resolution, a cappella and simple string/piano-backed recordings still had a pleasant, organic sound--they did not present as something feeling overly bright, laser-polished, or supremely analytical. Yes, they are probably still revealing enough to be somewhat unforgiving of lower-quality recordings, but if you're looking to spend this much for a pair of HPs, my guess is you probably don't spend a lot of time seriously consuming 128kbps MP3s or highly compressed videos anyway. Honestly though, even my older 192kbps MP3s sounded wonderful while I was sashaying through some early CD rips last night. Bass performance was taut, snappy, & responsive while still offering a kick of visceral, almost palpable "oomph" that didn't feel muddy or bloated. Again, up against the Radiance, the Gjallarhorn satisfied my penchant for glam, gothic, nu & other flavors of metal without falling into the trap of feeling like an overblown bass-head's HP that was more about quantity than quality. But where the Gjallarhorn really excelled against the competition was imaging and soundstage. Compared to the Radiance, the GH 50 JM offered a wider soundstage with instruments & vocals feeling more clearly defined, even amidst complex/layered performances. And although the Focal Stellia turned in a technically superior performance that was simply a bit "more" of everything overall (I should hope so for double the price), the GH 50 JM's soundstage & imaging was *nearly* as convincing & refined as Focal's much pricier TOTL closed-back cans--definitely no small feat!
