P LINE

Following in the footsteps of the highly successful C LINE series, now VC LINE, KS AUDIO has developed the very powerful P LINE as a cost-effective solution for users where power and compactness are impor- tant. Yet the P LINE undoubtedly fits in with the main idea of KS AUDIO to develop only products with the best audio performance on the market.

The components are equipped with neodymium magnets, which translates into low weight and, in combination with the special membrane shape of the two high-frequency drivers, the lowest distortion factor. With a frequency range of 60- 20,000Hz it is a full-range system that only needs to be complemented in certain cases by KS AUDIO subwoofers

The amplifier for the P LINE is the KS AUDIO TA 4D whose 4 amplifier channels are switched in 2-channel Bi-amp mode. The load on a TA 4D is four P LINE modules.

Each line array requires a frequency equalization that is determined by the length of the array and the angle between the individual elements. It is often recommended to simulate the intended array with special software or standard programs like EASE. This is a tedious process and it finally demands a compromise from the user, since the frequency response may not be expected to be the same at every point of the acoustic surface to be covered, and therefore only an average correction is possible.

On top of that, in practice, the local conditions often do not allow the exact realization of the simulated array, and thus a high degree of uncertainty arises when the system is put into operation. Therefore, KS AUDIO has stored presets in the F MOD controllers, which convert the entered values for array length ”PCS” and angulation “CUR” into optimal equa- lization. These uncomplicated and “on-site” modifiable para- meters are listed in the manual next to the required number of TA 4D amplifiers. The chart is designed in a way that the connection between electronics and mechanics becomes immediately apparent.

As with all KS AUDIO systems, the cabinet construction is made of multi-layered birch plywood with a textured plastic coating. Steel protection grilles with or without acoustic foam are further features of this high-quality product. The Flyware requires no external components and is simply and securely locked in place with ball lock bolts.

Optional is the particularly user-friendly innovation; gear mechanism for angle adjustment. to allow a finite angle selection between boxes in small increments after hang or installation is complete.

The rigging system of the P LINE is compatible with that of the VC LINE making it possible to create an Array with
P LINE for the far field and VC LINE for near field use.
