We offer a wide variety of products, and the following precautions apply to some of them. Please note that they are listed for all products.
【Voltage Compatibility】Designed for Japanese voltage (90-110V). Using with a different voltage may cause malfunction.
【Plug Type】Japanese plugs (A or B type). Use a conversion adapter if needed.
【Transformers & Adapters】Transformers adjust voltage; adapters only change plug shape. Using an adapter without a transformer may damage the product.
【Liability】We are not responsible for damages caused by improper use, such as using the product without a transformer.
[Design and Tuning Emphasizing Low Frequencies] The "Todoroki Mark II" employs a titanium-coated woofer, just like the current "Todoroki" model. The advantage of our titanium-coated woofers lies in the crisp sound attack across the entire frequency range, as is characteristic of metal-coated diaphragms. The "Todoroki Mark II" leverages this crispness to give a sense of speed to the ultra-low frequencies. It is also characterized by dense high frequencies that do not get buried despite the speed and volume of the low frequencies. You can enjoy the deep bass of rock music and live performances.
[Two models of detachable cable connectors available: MMCX and Pentaconn Ear] The current "Kira," "Todoroki," and "Miyabi" models all use MMCX plugs and jacks for the detachable cable. MMCX is a connector with a proven track record and is used by many users in the world of detachable cables. On the other hand, Pentaconn Ear, which is used in our flagship model "Sho," is a connector that has low contact resistance, reduces electrical signal loss, and can achieve higher resolution sound. With these new products, we have prepared two models, MMCX and Pentaconn Ear, for all of the "Kira Mark II," "Todoroki Mark II," and "Miyabi Mark II" products to meet the needs of a wide range of portable audio enthusiasts.
[Adoption of the 3rd Generation VST2] Our proprietary PZT piezoelectric ceramic material boasts excellent low hysteresis characteristics and linearity. Based on elements created by stacking these materials, we have newly developed ceramic elements with larger displacements and adopted them as the 3rd generation VST2. In particular, sensitivity in the ultra-high frequency range beyond the generally audible range has been further increased, and the richness of its harmonic components enables the reproduction of a more natural sound field.
[Original Hybrid Cable Included] This cable utilizes our original hybrid cable technology. The core material is the same as that used in our popular MMCX replacement cable "M-Kanade," which is already sold on our e-commerce site and Amazon's official website. By using OFC + silver coating on the HOT side and OFC on the COLD side, we have achieved excellent bass resolution, presence, and sound separation. The greatest feature of this cable is its "presence that rivals balanced connections, even in unbalanced configurations." You can fully enjoy the wide soundstage of the "Kira Mark II, Todoroki Mark II, and Miyabi Mark II" in any environment.
[Our original ear tips isep01 included as standard] The basic shape is the same as the AET07 that came standard with our earphones. This shape was highly praised for its comfortable fit that suited everyone. To further improve this comfort, we softened the hardness of the silicone in the umbrella portion of the ear tip. As a result, it is now possible to reproduce the original sound of the earphones more faithfully across a wide frequency range.
The intime Todoroki Mark II is a low-boost earphone overflowing with speed and volume. Since its founding, intime has been working on improving the materials of its ceramic tweeter VST, as well as advancing its vibration analysis and acoustic analysis technologies. And with these technologies, we have decided to renew the three models "Kira," "Todoroki," and "Miyabi." The "Todoroki Mark II" maintains the direction of emphasizing low frequencies, but improves the soundstage width and sound separation compared to the current model "Todoroki." This product is available in two types of re-cable connectors: MMCX and Pentaconn Ear. [Adoption of titanium housing anodizing technology from Tsubame-Sanjo craftsmen] All models use a titanium alloy housing for the front part. Titanium alloy has extremely low acoustic internal loss and a larger Young's modulus than aluminum, which is known as a lightweight material, so it is possible to transmit sound up to higher frequencies. Therefore, the harmonic components of the ceramic tweeter VST are transmitted efficiently, and high resolution is achieved. In addition, we have introduced titanium alloy anodizing technology in collaboration with craftsmen from Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture. In plating and painting, the rigidity of the material depends on the film thickness.
While some methods may cause variations in sound quality, anodizing technology preserves the original mechanical properties, weather resistance, and texture of the titanium alloy, and is characterized by the absence of color peeling or fading. The "Kira Mark II" features light blue anodizing, the "Todoroki Mark II" features matte bronze anodizing, and the "Miyabi Mark II" features shining bronze anodizing, and these colors enhance the sense of attachment for the owners. [Optimization of 4th Generation HDSS and 3rd Generation VST] The 4th generation HDSS technology, a patented technology of TBI Audio System LLC, is continuously employed. Compared to the 3rd generation, it has a more efficient acoustic correction effect, making it possible to produce a sound with less distortion. With HDSS technology, it is said that the sound inside the cabinet does not affect the woofer diaphragm, resulting in a gentle sound with a wide soundstage. On the other hand, if the HDSS technology is not optimized, the flow of sound may become too orderly, and the so-called "clear treble" may be lost. The "Kira Mark II, Todoroki Mark II, and Miyabi Mark II" models feature the same chassis design as our existing models equipped with third-generation HDSS technology.
By optimizing the mounting method and other aspects, we have achieved an exquisitely balanced sound quality that combines a sound that is easy on the ears with the clear, crisp sound that is characteristic of intime.
