What James Ivey Thinks Of The Kii THREE Monitors

During Musik-Messe 2017 I was invited to an event in one of the hotels near the Messe to listen to these amazing new Kii THREE speakers.  I want these in my studio. Stunning does not do them justice. They have to be heard to be believed. The stereo image from the Kii THREE was so well defined The bass was driving yet tight and punchy. The top end was smooth and rich but not harsh.  I am very much looking forward to getting these into the studio but I am worried that I will not want to give them back.

More About The Kii Three Monitors

Kii have packed 1500 watts per speaker divided across six drivers into a compact and lightweight enclosure. The Kii THREE is designed to move some serious air, Bruno Putzeys invented the Active Wave Focusing technology, which he developed to control the sound dispersion and direct the sound pressure, into the sweet spot.

The Kii THREE's have 'intelligent' DSP processing giving them a cardioid sound dispersion pattern down to the low-mid and bass frequencies, which normally can only be achieved by very wide baffles, big cabinets or soffit mounting speakers (infinite baffle design).

The argument goes that 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, Kii claims that no other speaker manufacturer has approached a solution to this common problem.

We designed the Kii THREE with the acoustical challenges of today's 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.
