Kii Audio THREE Professional (SET)

Kii Audio THREE Professional high-end DSP-controlled monitor system.

DSP has for many years been known within professional monitors, but with THREE, Kii Audio has gone further than any other manufacturer in terms of working with the interaction between devices and advanced DSP control to make their monitor as linear as possible and at the same time avoid the negative side effects such as both size and not least the room in which the monitor is used can have.

The result is a very special monitor with as many as 6 drivers per unit. monitor and extremely powerful amplifier stages of a total of 1,500W per monitor, giving full control of all aspects of the monitor and an unmatched power surplus.
This makes Kii THREE suitable for small and medium-sized control rooms, where they can provide the same performance and effect as flush-mount main monitors in a compact space, which has also given THREE the nickname Mini Main Monitor.

Each monitor contains 6 channels of DSP, D/A conversion and amplifier, which means that there is full control of all frequencies and the delay that can occur between the units depending on where they are mounted. In other words, it has given Kii Audio the opportunity to compensate for phase and time, which are crucial to get such a correct reproduction of sounds, which means that THREE provides a completely unique listening experience.
