Author Topic: KCS: need specs Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-14-2003 01:46 PM                        Hi everyone I need to know some specs about KCS series subwoofers. I'm searching the sensitivity of their subwoofer systems the one driver and two driver (I do not remember the models!) Can someone help me?

I'ts sounds really poor, they try to imitate the JBL design but I really dislike the sound. But If you really want to put these soap-boxes in your auditorium, don't expect too munch of them. And IMHO dont play frequencys below 50 Hz. I don't trust in the brand name of KCS for cinema applications. I've searchin' the web to find a company in India who sale this kind of equipement, but no one official website of KCS. It's sounds that KCS is a departement of DAS audio, loudspeakers manufactures for bands and dancings, where the power handling capacity is most important thant the sound quality... Sorry for this answer, I can't tell you more...  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

KCS C-118-A standard cabinet / pink noise 800 watt / 20 - 500HZ / 98 dB SPL. KCS C-218-A Dual subwoofer / pink noise 1200 watt / 20 - 500HZ 101 dB SPL. These units are manufactured by DAS of Valencia, Spain for Kelonic of Barcelona to market.

I have used DAS a few times and very impressed, no probs at atll. If KCS is a division of DAS then i'd say they were worth a look. My opinion only!  |  IP: Logged Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-14-2003 06:24 PM                        Michael and others, I worked for a multiplex with KCS inside. I don't know if were the auditorium or the eq but the sound was very poor. I was told that KCS in the right room sounds good but my direct experience is negative: harsh and limited high frequency (particularly on three way systems) and poor bass sound (LF, not subwoofers). Richard, Thanks for the specs. Are their sensitivity so high? 98dB the single woofer? DAS: Just for fun, we have a soap product here in Italy called "DASH"...

There are other arrangements in the industry, such as Beyma suppling Krix and Wassman some of their components. Richard Fowler Kinoton America Inc.  |  IP: Logged
