KPT-435-B/M
As the first full three-way passive behind-the-screen system on the market, the KPT-435-B/M affords the ultimate in audio performance for small and medium sized venues. At less than 20 inches deep, it is one of the smallest speakers in its performance category. Based on the proven KPT-904-LF dual 15-inch bass unit, it delivers powerful bass from a shallow cabinet just 17.75 inches deep. Critical dialogue range is reproduced by the KPT-335-HF/MF-N, consisting of a K-510 Tractrix Horn, 2-inch throat compression driver, and the K-703 Tractrix horn with a 1.75-inch titanium diaphragm.
