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.
