In fact, it has a faster propagation speed than titanium, which is used in higher-end LOAK model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to its light weight and rigidity, aluminum fulfills one of the key requirements for a front housing: transmitting vibrations with minimal loss. However, its low internal damping means it doesn\u2019t absorb much vibration. This makes it somewhat unsuitable for the driver-mounting area in the front housing\u2014where it\u2019s essential to suppress vibrations from the dynamic (D-type) driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compensate for aluminum\u2019s shortcomings, TENORA\u2019s front housing incorporates stainless steel in the driver installation section to help absorb vibrations. This design is also used in the titanium-bodied LOAK2 model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the image below, you can see that stainless steel is embedded in the blue-colored area. Additionally, there\u2019s a resilient shock-absorbing material placed between the driver\u2019s outer edge and the aluminum housing.<br>This material applies constant pressure to the driver, securely fixing it in place while also absorbing vibrations. As a result, TENORA minimizes the transfer of driver vibrations to the front housing, delivering the stable sound, well-defined notes, and voluminous low end characteristic of a stainless steel housing, while simultaneously providing the fast, crisp, and airy qualities unique to aluminum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"4362\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.634ears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/InShot_20241223_203417500-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4362\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stainless steel is incorporated into the areas shaded in blue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"4361\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.634ears.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/InShot_20241219_194411367-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4361\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-634-ears wp-block-embed-634-ears\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"p-embed-container p-embed-container--634ears\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"52Kvx36c4K\"><a href=\"https:\/\/634ears.com\/en\/products\/tenora\/\">TENORA<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;TENORA&#8221; &#8212; 634ears \u30ed\u30af\u30b5\u30f3\u30e8\u30f3\u30a4\u30e4\u30fc\u30ba\" src=\"https:\/\/634ears.com\/en\/products\/tenora\/embed\/#?secret=fZnlDW4n9K#?secret=52Kvx36c4K\" data-secret=\"52Kvx36c4K\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the front housing of my new model, TENORA, I chose aluminum with a semi-matte black anodized finish.
