KAS MK2
KAS MK2
The KINEF ACTIVE SPEAKER MK2, code-named Fire Starter, is a stereo pair of two-way active speakers designed as mid-field monitors. With extensive and easily selectable input sources, these speakers adapt seamlessly to your setup.
The KAS MK2 delivers sound with unapologetic impact, commanding your attention and immersing you in every detail of the music. It’s the perfect choice for music enthusiasts seeking an experience that’s both full and precise. A pair of these is all you need to elevate your listening game.
The sound profile is meticulously designed using the equal-loudness curves as a foundation, carefully refined to deliver a balanced and linear response, ideal for all music genres. As physics dictates, the KAS's low-end performance cannot be directly compared to the fuller output of the KBAS.
While the speaker's placement in your space will naturally influence its acoustics. It is strongly recommended to place them in a room larger than 25m², following the recommended below stated placement guidelines, failing to do so, an additional external third party DSP is required:
- Distance between speaker units: 2m to 4m (greater separation requires more angling toward the listening position).
- Distance between each speaker unit and the wall behind them: 30cm to 60cm.
- Distance between each speaker unit and the side wall: Minimum of 1m.
- Distance between the speaker units and the listening position: Minimum of 2m.
- Distance between listening position and the wall behind it: Minimum of 2m.
Speaker configurations:
- MS (Master-Slave): An audio interface (Master) paired with two active speakers (Slaves), connected seamlessly using just two XLR cables.
- DS (Dual Speaker): A straightforward setup with two active speakers, no audio interface.
