The Secret of Big Speakers
Kii’s mission for the THREE was to break
the sonic mould of compact speakers. Powerful small speakers with deep
bass have been around for a while now but none so far sounded like a big
speaker. The THREE is built to fix that.
Basic acoustics tells us
that a classic box speaker only directs sound towards the listeners
from the midrange up while bass frequencies are radiated all around. The
frequency where this change happens depends on the size of the box
front (the “baffle”). The smaller the baffle, the higher the frequency
at which bass is still radiated all around instead of directed towards
the listener.
That in short is why big speakers have so far
delivered much more precise timing and detail in the bass and low mids
than small speakers: the room gets less chance to interfere. And that is
what Kii has now managed to make a compact speaker do.
The first transportable Main Monitor
Mini Main Monitor
We offer a linear frequency response, a
perfect impulse response and phase coherence, but we also pack 1500
watts per speaker divided across six drivers into a compact and
lightweight enclosure. The Kii THREE is able to move some serious air,
but we didn´t just stop there. Instead Bruno Putzeys invented the Active
Wave Focusing technology, that controls the sound dispersion and
directs the sound pressure, where we need it to be: Into the sweetspot!
Intelligent DSP processing provides the Kii THREE with a cardioid sound
dispersion pattern down to the low-mid and bass frequencies, which
otherwise can only be achived by very wide baffles, big cabinets or
soffit mounting speakers (infinite baffle design). The controlled sound
dispersion is the only reason, why a big main monitor system in a good
room offers the special feel and impact it does. Even though
acousticians and speaker designers know about this task, no other
speaker manufacturer has approached a solution to this common problem.
We designed the Kii THREE with the acoustical challenges of todays
studio setups in mind. It fits everywhere and can be the one and only
monitor solution you need for every task. It really is the first „Mini Main monitor system“ available. We also think it looks rather beautiful.
* Please note that the Kii THREE professional version comes in a rugged high density grey spatter finish.
Work with Kii
Today’s studio business is constantly
evolving. Audio software has enabled a democratization of music
production, along with some great possibilities and also a lot of
challenging changes to overcome for professional engineers. Yet for
recording, producing, mixing and mastering a single piece of gear still
is as important as it has ever been: the monitoring system! Having a
transparent and revealing monitor system that translates your work
perfectly to the outside world has become more important than ever. It
is the centerpiece of the modern studio. As an audio professional you’re
always looking for ways to raise the bar of sonic performance. You want
a clear, reliable and consistent advantage over your competition. The
Kii THREE system is that advantage.
Whether you work in a major
facility, independent recording studio, or from your home studio, a good
monitoring situation enables you to work faster, easier and achieve
better results everyday. It takes the guesswork out of any decision
during a production, so you can be safe and bold with your decisions and
move through a project quickly, focussing on what´s really important in
the studio: the musical ideas, the artistic expression and the
interaction with your clients!
