KPT-942/4-B
With its high efficiency, low distortion, controlled directivity, and flat frequency response, the THX-certified KPT-942-4-B two-way cinema and stage system delivers unbridled dynamics and intense realism for today’s most exacting soundtracks. Based on the KPT-415-LF quad 15-inch bass unit, the KPT-942-4-B provides enhanced low-frequency output while retaining the 24-inch depth of smaller systems. Higher frequencies are handled by a KPT-402-HF Tractrix horn with a K-1132 2-inch exit titanium compression driver. Its high efficiency, very high output, and excellent coverage characteristics make it an outstanding, cost-effective solution for medium and large auditoriums.
