Kii SEVEN Compact DSP-Controlled Monitor - Fine Touch White, Stereo Pair with Kii Control

The Kii SEVEN is thoughtfully engineered to meet your most demanding audio requirements and crafted to seamlessly accommodate to your preferences. 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.

KII CONTROL

The Kii Control turns the Kii SEVEN into a complete playback system of highest sonic quality and usability. It offers a user interface for your speakers and works like a digital preamplifier. You only need to connect your analog source, CD player/drive, server, streamer, TV set or set top box to enjoy a breathtakingly audiophile full range system in a stunningly small footprint. The Kii CONTROL offers three additional digital inputs for the Kii SEVEN: Coax SPDIF, Optical TOSLINK and USB (up to PCM 24/384 kHz and DSD64/DSD128 on USB).

All inputs are located on the backside connector panel and can be activated with the touch buttons located around the volume knob. A dedicated input button (labeled XLR) will switch to the existing hardware input on the speaker itself, which you can continue to use as analog or digital input. The Kii Control connects with a single included CAT6 cable and is also powered through this connection. No additional power supply is necessary.

Most importantly the Kii CONTROL enables lossless volume control inside the DSP of the Kii THREEs, keeping the signal path of the system as transparent as possible. The big volume knob also offers mute or dim functions and manual power on/off (standby). A dedicated touch button provides direct access to up to six user definable presets. The menu navigation and OLED display vastly expand the options of the Boundary and Contour settings, while also providing access to more advanced system settings, including amongst others for example manual power on/standby, LED brightness, DIM function and limiter indication. The main functions like volume, source and mute can be remote controlled via your IR Remote (RC5 type or Apple Remote).
