AWE Europe has expanded its Kinetik Labs brand with a new range of custom install speakers. The KISP range is designed as a quality cut-price alternative to premium speaker brands.
The KISP-E200-IC is an 8in model and the KISP-E160-ICS is a dual voice coil (stereo tweeter) model designed for use in bathrooms and hallways. The premium KISP-P160-IC (pictured) features a Kevlar drive unit and titanium dome tweeter as well as offering impedance switching and tweeter adjustment.
Each of the KISP speakers comes with its own dust cover and cut-out template. The tweeter bridge design is also helpful for installers, making it easy to position and fit into ceilings, says AWE. All the 160mm (6.5in) models fit the same size cut-out, allowing installers to cut holes during first fix and be comfortable with possible changes to specification down the line.
Stuart Tickle of AWE Europe said: “These established brands appeal to the premium market where installers and consumers demand the heritage and technology developed over the years. The Kinetik Labs KISP range is the answer for those installations requiring a high quality solution within a tighter budget – simply speaking, top quality components are used throughout a conventional CI speaker construction, resulting in great sound and extremely strong price points."
AWE is selling the KISP range direct to installers in the UK with prices starting from £299.
