German company Kii Audio presented new wireless speaker systems Kii SEVEN at the UK HiFi Show Live 2023 in Ascot . Like the previous model in the series – Kii THREE, the new product can be used as a monoblock wireless audio system, or as part of a stereo pair, as an element of a multiroom system, or as a wireless monitor as part of a multi-channel home theater system. With the proprietary Kii HOME app, users can control high-resolution audio streaming across twelve zones of their home.
The Kii SEVEN wireless speaker system features a waveguide tweeter, an acoustic device that helps control and direct the propagation of sound waves. In addition, the monitor is equipped with a 5-inch mid-range driver and two 6.5-inch woofers operating on the cardioid dispersion principle. Kii SEVEN speaker systems have built-in amplification with a total power of 600 W.
According to the manufacturer, Kii SEVEN is a compact monitor designed for recording and mixing music that can be used at home. The monitor’s switching arsenal includes analog inputs and an AES/EBU input. In addition, the monitor supports Apple Airplay 2 and Spotify Connect. You can also connect to your Dante audio system over an IP network, or link multiple Kii THREE and Kii SEVEN devices to mix Dolby Atmos soundtracks.
Kii SEVEN wireless monitors will be available in early 2024. The recommended retail price of the new product will be 3,795 euros / 3,495 pounds sterling / 3,895 US dollars per monitor.
