THE SECRET OF BIG SPEAKERS
The THREE is the first compact speaker that surpasses the clarity of a full-size audio system in a large room, while its small size means it can also comfortably fit in much smaller spaces. In fact, smaller rooms benefit the most from the controlled dispersion of the THREE. The Kii THREE is truly a product without compromise, sounding better and fitting more seamlessly into smaller spaces than other compact speakers.
Basic acoustics tell us that traditional box speakers direct sound towards listeners mainly from the midrange upwards, while bass frequencies radiate all around. The frequency at which this transition occurs depends on the size of the front of the box (the "baffle"). The smaller the baffle, the higher the frequency at which bass sounds radiate all around instead of being directed towards the listener.
In short, this is why large speakers have historically provided more accurate timing and detail in the lower midrange and bass frequencies compared to small speakers: there's less interference in the room. And this is exactly what Kii has achieved with a compact speaker.
Home Experience
Representing exclusive audio engineering technology and impressive technical features, the Kii THREE system achieves perfect harmony. From the high-performance 6.5-inch mid-woofers to the meticulously crafted 1-inch waveguide tweeter, every component works in perfect harmony, enabling exceptional fidelity in music reproduction. Thanks to the incredible 1500W per speaker, the Kii THREE effortlessly fills any room with dynamic, robust sound, transforming your living space into a concert hall or intimate club where every performance feels direct and vibrant.
For Professional Studios
Elevate your studio to new heights with the Kii Three studio monitor, which has become an essential tool in today's rapidly evolving world of audio production. The wide array of audio software has democratized music creation, making a reliable and high-performance monitoring system more crucial than ever for audio professionals. Enter the Kii Three – not only meeting this demand but raising the bar.
The Kii Three's unique cardioid dispersion technology ensures outstanding quality in your studio. The Active Wave Focusing technology pioneered by Bruno Putzeys revolutionizes speaker dispersion by precisely directing sound to the ideal location. This means it excels in any room or creative space; studio acoustic treatment matters less compared to other traditional speakers. With intelligent DSP processing, this monitor system recreates the immersive feel and impact of much larger systems, setting a new standard for studio monitors.
With its transparent, revealing, and consistent sound, the Kii Three precisely communicates your work to the world, giving you an edge in the industry. Whether you're mastering or mixing complex projects, the Kii Three's unparalleled performance stands out, ensuring every project reaches its full potential. Upgrade your studio setup with the Kii Three studio monitor and experience the future of studios.
HIGH-END TECHNOLOGY IN A COMPACT DESIGN!
Every Kii THREE includes multi-channel DSP, multiple DACs, and amplifiers. Few companies could achieve such a compact design paired with truly world-class and high-performance electronics. Moreover, few active speakers were designed by people who previously preferred high-performance amplification and digital conversion from traditional, separate components.
Each Kii THREE includes 1500W of amplifier power. Bruno Putzeys designed the latest Class D technology. What sets the implementation in the Kii THREE apart is the combined voltage/current control loop, surpassing even a superior amplifier – actively improving driver distortion performance, contributing significantly to the speaker's extreme resolution.
This naturally means that the AD/DA conversion’s performance must match the amplifier’s. This task fell to Bart van der Laan, who has extensive experience in DSP and converter card design for top-tier professional audio equipment. The implementation by Kii Audio has been immensely successful: the complete passage through the THREE's signal processing card is completely free of noise and interference, a feat not even achieved by the most expensive audiophile standalone units.
In addition to the Active Wave Focusing filters, DSP is responsible for keeping the driver units within their safe operating range by finely adjusting filters rather than brutally limiting the signal, allowing the THREE to play significantly louder and cleaner than much larger traditional speakers.
On the input side, you can choose between analogue and digital inputs. All digital inputs are resampled and re-clocked using Kii's proprietary jitter-reduction algorithm, guaranteeing true "bit-for-bit" performance from any digital source.
