KPT-942-M
This THX-certified, high-performance two-way screen and stage loudspeaker system is built for medium-sized auditoriums. Based on the proven KPT-904-LF dual 15-inch bass unit, the KPT-942 delivers powerful bass from a cabinet just 24 inches deep. For high output combined with excellent coverage, the system uses a KPT-402-HF Tractrix horn with a K-1132 2-inch exit titanium compression driver to reproduce mid and high frequencies. This version includes the KPT-942-N2 passive processor for mono-amp operation.
