Long used for woodwind instruments and pianos, the dense wood suppresses unwanted resonance for clear, natural sound, and exclusive 53mm drivers with German Permendur magnetic circuits deliver exceptionally accurate audio with a wide sound field, up to 45kHz. Two detachable 3m cables are included, one with a 6.3mm plug and one with a 4-pin XLR balanced connector, and each pair is hand-assembled in Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/ATHAWKT_1000x653_60129299-126a-4989-aaf0-79cfcf48f02e.jpg?v=1767168625\" alt=\"Audio-Technica ATH-AWKT Kokutan wooden headphones on a hi-fi system\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKokutan, striped ebony\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio-Technica’s wooden headphones have been delivering natural, acoustic sound with rich overtones for more than 20 years. Since the first model, the ATH-W10VTG in 1996, Audio-Technica has worked with a variety of woods, for their natural beauty and tonal qualities and a clear, warm, wide-open sound. The AWKT uses Kokutan, renowned for its excellent acoustic properties, with handsome black and brown stripes. A half-gloss finish, applied by hand, brings out the natural beauty of the grain, a beauty that only deepens with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/audio-technica-kokutan-dynamic-driver-headphones-photo-front.jpg?v=1791400447\" alt=\"Hand-finished Kokutan (striped ebony) housing of the Audio-Technica ATH-AWKT\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e53mm Permendur drivers and D.A.D.S.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exclusive 53mm drivers use highly efficient German Permendur magnetic circuits for powerful, accurate audio with a wide sound field. Each driver’s lightweight, durable titanium flange lets the diaphragm react to the signal more accurately, and 6N-OFC (high-purity, oxygen-free copper) voice coils give ideal signal transfer. Audio-Technica’s Double Air Damping System (D.A.D.S.) divides each housing into two separate acoustic chambers, for deep, smooth and accurate bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-resolution sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHi-Res Audio, generally considered to be 96kHz\/24-bit or better, needs headphones that reach at least 40kHz.
