LOAK2-TX01 銅(斑紋ガス青銅色)
Front : Titanium
Body : Titanium(3D Printing)
Rear : Copper 斑紋ガス青銅色(Copper Blue) *momentumfactory Orii
This is the LOAK2-TX01 with a copper backplate for the rear housing. The copper features coloring using the traditional technique of “Momentum Factory Orii” with “斑紋ガス青銅色 (Copper Blue)” finish.
Copper is harder than wood, but since this model incorporates a soft, high-rebound material into the copper, the compression of air by the diaphragm inside the rear housing is not overly tight for a metal, and the sound attack and sharpness are softened, more like wood, despite having a metal backplate. Additionally, the strong air rebound inside the rear housing results in very rich bass. Compared to wood, the overall sound balance is slightly shifted toward the lower frequencies.
Typically, metal backplates tend to produce a stronger attack, but in this model, the incorporation of high-rebound material makes it easier to choose metal as a material option.
Comparing brass and copper, copper has a softer sound. Brass has a slightly harder, more flamboyant sound.
