SIGNATURE KS12.0

The Audio Performance SIGNATURE KS-12.0 is a 3Way self-powered monitor system with performances comparable to much larger systems.
It is a high-precision device with excellent efficiency and low distortion which provides very precise stereo imaging.
Consisting of a main enclosure containing a 12” low-frequency driver, two 6.5” mid-frequency drivers, and HF 1” fabric dome tweeters with advanced waveguides.
A second enclosure can also be brought into play containing one 12” low-frequency driver.
This design allows sound engineers to create different setups according to their environment.
Neodymium and long excursions are also the main features that add to the excellent driver performance.
The KS-12.0 has a built-in electronics package feature which contains a new lightweight, three-channel class D audio power amplifier designed specifically for self-powered products.

It incorporates a complete networked 96KHz digital signal processing (DSP) providing loudspeaker-specific filtering, EQ, delays, and protection functions.

Sophisticated amplifier protection systems continuously monitor all aspects of performance to ensure that the amplifier and associated drivers are always working within their safe operating areas

Net Control PC application provides real-time control and monitoring functions to either single units or whole networks of Audio-Performance self-powered loudspeakers through Ethernet CAT5 cable. In addition, the SIGNATURE KS-12.0 provides input volume control and 8 factory presets including high pass, low, and high shelving filters.
