KSdigital KSD 2040
€8000
Coaxial, linear phase 3-way reference speaker with digital equalization
The KSD2040, as well as other members of the KSD-home series, a direct adaptation of a successful studio monitor model for the home. The used 8'' (20cm) coaxial chassis transfers from the root area of all frequencies
This and the linear phase, ie time-accurate playback alike, deliver a plastic virtual stage with extreme spaciousness. The midrange diaphragm of the coax chassis serves for sound management of the tweeter and direct the sound directly to the listener.
The two 8'' bass drivers give lower octave in the bass, thereby supporting the vitality and joy of the pulse Coaxchassis by their immense membrane surface. The use of the F1-material carbon in our chassis prevents breaking (membrane no longer oscillates as a single cone) at higher volumes and ensures an extremely transient response to playback in deepest regions.
The installation position can be adjusted over a wide range.
Using the 5 programmable EQ, a flexible adaptation to various room situations is also possible.
