KINERA CELEST GUMIHO REVIEW | Audiophilepure

The Gumiho uses Kinera’s proprietary 10mm Square Planar Driver (SPD™) technology for bass reproduction. This new generation 10*10mm SPD has been developed after extensive testing of numerous driver materials, finally settling on our unique planar material and mechanical design. 

On paper, this should result in a breakthrough in low-frequency limits traditionally seen in dynamic drivers, producing a low frequency that maintains depth and volume while providing an excellent transient response.

For the high-frequency range, Gumiho employs Kinera’s Custom Balanced Armature (BA) unit advertised by its “elegance, delicacy, and endurance”.  Combined with a good crossover, this BA unit should blend perfectly with the planar driver, to create a sound that is natural and harmonious.
