KPT-8000M

The KPT-8000M Cinema Surround speaker was created for smaller cinemas where cost effectiveness is a major objective. Designed for flexible side-wall or ceiling placement, its Tractrix® horn technology provides low-distortion clarity with high efficiency for maximum output per watt, and added ellipses (“mumps”) on the horn enhance full-frequency coverage across its 90° x 90° wide dispersion area. The solid, molded cabinet blends with contemporary venue interiors.
