L-Acoustics Ultra-Compact KIVA

Loudspeakers http://www.l-acoustics.com
L-Acoustics’ KIVA loudspeaker system is packaged in a fully integrated, ultracompact design, while fulfilling the five WST (Wavefront Sculpture Technology) criteria in line with the scientific concepts introduced by L-Acoustics in 1992. Operating in the 80 Hz-20 kHz bandwidth, KIVA generates a fixed horizontal directivity of 100 degrees with symmetric pattern control across the projection axis. Due to its compact size at 20.5 x 6.9 x 14.1 inches, and weight of 28.6 lbs, the loudspeaker can be easily flown anywhere. KIVA features two 6.5-inch drivers in a bass-reflex tuned enclosure and a HF 1.5-inch diaphragm compression driver coupled to a DOSC waveguide for HF reproduction. The KIVA cabinet is made from a composite material with mechanical and acoustic properties similar to Baltic Birch plywood.
