Kii Audio THREE Professional high-end DSP-controlled monitor system.
DSP has been known in professional monitors for many years, but with THREE, Kii Audio has gone further than any other manufacturer in working with the interaction between devices and advanced DSP control to make their monitor as linear as possible while avoiding the negative side effects that both size and not least the room the monitor is used in can have.
The result is a very special monitor with 6 drivers per monitor and extremely powerful amplifier stages totalling 1,500W per monitor, giving full control of all aspects of the monitor and an unrivalled power surplus.
This makes Kii THREE ideal for small and medium-sized control rooms where they can provide the same performance and power as flush-mount main monitors in a compact space, earning THREE the nickname Mini Main Monitor.
Each monitor contains 6 channels of DSP, D/A conversion and amplifier, giving full control of all frequencies and the delay that can occur between units depending on where they are mounted. In other words, it has allowed Kii Audio to compensate for phase and time, which are crucial for the correct reproduction of sounds, making THREE a truly unique listening experience.
