KPT-Cinema Grandeur
The KPT-Cinema Grandeur is a fully horn-loaded, four-way behind-the-screen cinema system built on the design of the KPT-MCM Grand. It uses state-of-the-art drivers and a redesigned low-frequency enclosure that is only 31 inches deep, making it suited for the largest and finest exhibition spaces. Highs, mids, mid-bass, and low-bass frequencies are all delivered by no-compromise, high-efficiency horns, lowering distortion and increasing dialog intelligibility. It is available as the KPT-Cinema Grandeur-Q, a quad-amp version without a passive processor.
Features
- Fully horn-loaded, four-way cinema system architecture
- Redesigned KPT-1515 low-frequency enclosure, only 31" deep — roughly 1/3 shallower than the KPT-MWM-LF while retaining comparable frequency response
- State-of-the-art driver complement: KPT-905-HF-T (HF), KPT-404-MF (MF), KPT-308-MB (MB), KPT-1515-LF (LF)
- Maximum continuous output of 137 dB, reducing distortion and improving intelligibility
- Recommended for use with the Klipsch KPT-1802-HLS horn-loaded subwoofer for a fully horn-loaded cinema front stage
- Requires Digital Signal Processing (DSP) equipment for quad-amp operation
- Recommended for up to 600 seats (approximately 9,000 sq ft / 836 sq m)
