Kennerton Gjallarhorn JM Edition Dusk 2023

Horn Headphone

The key advantage of horn headphones is their ability to achieve substantial sound pressure and deliver superb dynamics right from the first milliwatts, all while keeping distortion to a minimum.

Horn headphones bring out the subtlest musical nuances while faithfully conveying the full emotional depth of a performance.

The horn element in these headphones delivers an immersive sense of presence, exceptional micro and macro dynamics, and an expansive horizontal soundstage.

High and mid frequencies reproduced via a horn driver exhibit a distinctly different energy and a higher degree of transparency, while low frequencies gain a naturally rich fullness and powerful presence.

High Performance Graphene Membrance

It all began with the creation of a cutting-edge new material called “Graphene”.

Put simply, Graphene is a two-dimensional layer of carbon just one atom thick. Its properties are nothing short of extraordinary: it’s roughly 300 times stronger than steel, presents virtually no internal resistance, and remains impressively lightweight.

Because crafting a pure graphene membrane is currently both challenging and prohibitively expensive, we developed a hybrid solution: a Mylar-based membrane infused with graphene powder through a thermal process. This approach dramatically enhances key characteristics of a conventional dynamic driver, including improved membrane strength, increased rigidity, and superior damping of unwanted resonances.

Such a high-tech membrane deserved an equally uncompromising “engine.” That’s why we integrated an ultra-light aluminum voice coil (CCAW), coated with a thin copper layer for enhanced conductivity. The coil is powered by a formidable NdFeB alloy magnet, whose magnetic strength and size surpass typical competitors’ magnets by three to four times. Together, these innovations deliver a broad dynamic range, exceptional detail, extremely low distortion, and elevate the sound to a level approaching Planar Magnetic technology.

Our new driver functions as a compression-based system. In other words, its membrane features an exceptionally soft suspension and also relies on the air volume within the earphone cup’s acoustic chamber for its elasticity.

All these technological advantages give the driver a large dynamic range, an amazing detailed sound and very low distortions.

The driver needs about 72 hours of burn-in in order to reach its full potential.

Ear Pads

Listening to music should be a pleasurable experience, which is why ensuring your headphones are comfortable to wear is essential.

Soft ear cushions ensure maximum comfort, while the design positions the driver at an ideal distance from your ear. This approach enhances soundstage, improves imaging, and delivers a more cohesive musical presentation.

The ear pads are meticulously finished with hand-stitched, high-grade genuine leather, delivering unparalleled comfort and enhancing the tactile enjoyment of your listening sessions.

Cable

At Kennerton Audio, we ensure that even the most subtle nuances receive our utmost care and attention. The headphones come with a 2 meter long detachable cable with mini-XLR connectors and a gold-plated 6.35mm termination.

Fabric Headphones Carrying Bag

A soft fabric cover safeguards your headphones against dust and scratches, helping to preserve their pristine appearance well into the future.

Eco-Leather Headphone Bag

Gjallarhorn JM Edition is designed to let you savor your favorite music whereever you go. To ensure easy transport, we’ve included a wear-resistant case crafted from durable eco-leather. This protective bag reliably shields the headphones from both rain and harsh sunlight.
