It effortlessly integrates with an expanding roster of top-tier streaming service providers and offers the versatility of analog and digital input options. With meticulous design and forward-thinking engineering, the Kii SEVEN is equipped to address your current listening needs and poised to tackle tomorrow’s audio landscape challenges.
THE STATE OF THE ART: KII SEVEN
Like its bigger sibling, the Kii Seven employs DSP controls to align the drivers and create a listening experience, unlike any other brand. The Kii Seven features two 6.5-inch woofers, a 5-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch tweeter with a custom waveguide, all driven by a total of 600 Watts of amplification. While the base frequency response is remarkably flat with ±0.5 dB between 100 Hz and 10 kHz, ±1 dB from 10 to 20 kHz, and -3 dB down at 40 Hz, it can be tweaked to pronounce bass or treble levels to taste. Depending on the production phase, the Kii Seven offers two modes: minimum phase or minimum latency. Software monitoring is required during recording, and minimum-latency mode allows for playback with virtually no delay. When latency is not an issue in mixdown, the minimum-phase mode presents audio with outstanding accuracy, making mix decisions easy and reliable.
CARDIOID POINT-SOURCE TECHNOLOGY
A speaker system can only be as good as the room it is in – unless it’s a Kii Audio system. Like the Kii THREE, the Kii Seven uses sophisticated DSP calculations to create a cardioid sound dispersion into the room. The speakers do not distribute sound to the back, leading to much lower room response and, hence, a clearer playback quality. The room plays a much smaller role with this cardioid point-source pattern, as it triggers fewer reflections from walls and corners. Even in studios with challenging acoustics, the Kii Seven can create a reliable, consistent sound field, which is crucial for professional applications.
FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY FOR SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
The Kii Seven integrates well into any room due to its cardioid dispersion pattern, and it integrates well into any setup due to its flexible connectivity. The studio monitor speaker features analog XLR, TRS inputs, and AES/EBU connectors for digital signals. And there is more: while consumer-level devices can be connected wirelessly through Apple Airplay and Bluetooth, professional audio environments can also address the Kii Seven via Dante – perfect for integration in large-scale setups across multiple rooms or even buildings, but also particularly easy to set up and manage for studios of all sizes. Kii Control can act as a monitor controller, and multiple Kii Seven and Kii THREE can be connected for big listening setups, especially for immersive monitoring in Dolby Atmos.
