Mahina

The Mahina was born out of a need to fuse monitor-like accuracy with a powerful and enjoyable bass performance. The tuning was inspired by studio-monitors with external subwoofers that present crystal clear transparency, but impactful and clean bass response. The Mahina utilizes a 10mm biodynamic diaphragm driver to mimic a sub-bass impact in the extreme lows. The sophisticated acoustic engineering strategy used in the Mahina allows a powerful and rumbling bass impact, but without muddying the mid-frequencies. In turn, the four American-made Knowles balanced armatures in the Mahina delivers a neutral midrange that is ever slightly warm for a lush texture in the vocals and instrument fundamental frequencies. The Mahina also features 2 European-manufactured Sonion EST drivers, which is famed for its extreme upper-treble extension. The EST drivers in the Mahina create a life-like airy atmosphere by enhancing the micro-details within the music, but are carefully tuned to sound natural and free from harsh timbre. The result of these combinations is a transparent monitor-capable device that is full and enjoyable for everyday listening by any music enthusiast.
