Product Overview
Exclusive MHEX Phenolic Honeycomb Woven Hybrid woofers in cast baskets synergize perfectly with customized ceramic dome tweeters to provide our characteristic phase linearity and unmatched realism. Dynamics are maintained at any listening level for all acoustic preferences or applications, from a high-powered home theater to low level ambient music.
Kin Architectural models have stainless steel, magnetic grilles and hardware so they’re weather resistant and ready for the outdoors under covered areas and soffits with the use of the optional Acoustic Back Can.
Design Highlights
75-degree dispersion
Paintable neodymium-activated stainless-steel grilles
Shallow profile
1" ceramic coated aluminum dome tweeters
Gold-plated terminals
Low Volume Intelligibility equalization
Enormous Dispersion
KIN IC diffuse sound in an enormously wide, expansive manner comparable to a flood light and illuminate a room with Totem’s holographic sound whereas most others function like a focused, narrow spotlight, creating small acoustic “hot spots”. The dispersion is almost twice that of competitive speakers, so it takes fewer Totem speakers to thoroughly fill a room, and listeners enjoy the same sound whether seated or standing.
Low Volume Intelligibility Switch
This feature fine tunes the output at low listening levels to improve the clarity of vocals and maintain bass response normally lost at minimal volume.
Pivoting Tweeter Faceplate
Allows you to aim the more directional high frequencies towards the listening area for better overall clarity in challenging placement situations.
Stainless Steel Hardware
Stainless steel hardware and grilles resist corrosion and make KIN suitable for indoor high humidity applications like bathrooms and saunas, and even somewhat protected outdoor applications like soffits and gazebos.
Unified Framework Shield
A ribbed, connected cover protects the speaker from material within walls and ceilings during the installation process and reinforces the rigidity of the integral framework to eliminate resonance.
Heavy Duty Dog Ears
This dog ear system means the speaker installs smoothly, quickly, and easily in any situation. The robust clamping mechanism and drywall gripping teeth provides a rigidity that improves midrange accuracy and bass response.
MHEX Woofer In Die-Cast Baskets
Multiple layers of phenolic honeycomb and woven synthetics are extremely rigid, have sensational transient capabilities, and a pure, flat response in the critical 100Hz to 2.5kHz range. Cast frames are tremendously strong, resistant to distortion causing resonances, and the open framework design allows larger spiders and voice coils to be implemented. The result is high power handling and formidable bass.
1” Ceramic Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeters
An aluminum dome receives a ceramic coating that greatly improves the stiffness and damping characteristics compared to traditional metal domes. This takes the resonances out to 30kHz and past our hearing ability for the most natural, distortion-free sound. It’s also resistant to moisture, sunlight, and extreme temperatures, making the speakers very versatile and suitable to almost any application.
