Kenwood KL-5080 loudspeakers

 

Damped Pipe Duct 4-way 5-speaker System

Kenwood 's inspired engineering has produced - through a series of elaborate simulations and modifications - a damped pipe duct 4-way, 5-speaker system that takes you to the very heart of musical sound essence combined with many other superior qualities for which Kenwood enjoys justifiable international acclaim, this KL-500 speaker system rightfully belongs on that creative pinnacle that enables it to represent the best features of artistry and technology. Noted for exacting over-all high efficiency in true-total-tone reproduction, the KL-5080 fully complements all IDS music system.

 

Special Features

4-way 5-speaker

The luxurious 5-speaker system reproduces really natural hifi sound covering wide 30 - 22,000 Hz. The bass sound made by 12" free-edge type woofer has enough heaviness and excellent damping. The 1-1/4" metal cone type super tweeter adds very delicate nuance on the high frequencies over 10,000 Hz, and it makes the total sound fascinating

 

Large Power Input and High Sensitivity

Designed for high-power amplifiers, KL-5080 allows maximum input of 70 watts, which enables to use this system even in a large hall. Furthermore, thanks to its extra high sensitivity (102 dB), it can be satisfactorily driven with small output amplifiers

 

Damped Pipe Duct Type Bass Reflex

A dullness in the bass sound is inevitable in most bass reflex type enclosure, while the sealed enclosure give clean bass at the cost of decrease in the sensitivity. Kenwood, through elaborate simulations, has realized the exclusive Damped Pipe Duct, which provides true bass sound, free from distortion and dullness and with high efficiency.

 

3-Step Tone Selector

According to your individual preference or room acoustic condition, the most suitable tone characteristics can be selected as follows;

Clear - slight emphasis of highs

Normal - flat, hi-fi response

Soft _ slight attenuation of midrange and highs

 

High Quality Dividing Network

Smooth, distortion-free 4-way crossover, all between speaker units, is provided by a 12 dB/oct. L-C network which uses heavy-duty, copper, wire-wound inductance coils.

 

IDS Connection

The terminals for separate 3-way connection with 3 main-amplifiers reserve the development into ideal IDS music system. Kenwood's receiver and IDS amplifier, MA-5100, will be of use for the total line-up.

 

Pleasing Exterior

The carefully finished metal grille exterior will match, as a result of kenwood's craftmanship, the listening atmosphere and modern furniture.
