AWE Europe’s Kinetik brand expands with the introduction of custom install speakers. AWE is selling direct to installers in the UK and looking to appoint distributors elsewhere.
The Kinetik Labs KISP range provides in-ceiling speakers designed to complement the portfolios of established premium speaker brands.
“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” says Stuart Tickle, MD.
“We have achieved this by going back to basics – simply speaking, top quality components are used throughout a conventional CI speaker construction, resulting in great sound and extremely strong price points”.
The KISP-E200-IC (8”) variant is £299 per pair SRP and the KISP-E160-ICS is a dual voice coil (stereo tweeter) model designed for use in bathrooms, hallways etc and. The premium KISP-P160-IC features a Kevlar drive unit and titanium dome tweeter as well as offering impedance switching and tweeter adjustment.
The KISP speakers come with useful extras in the box such as a speaker front dust/spray cover and cut out template. The tweeter bridge design is also helpful for installers, making it easy to position and fit into ceilings. All the 650mm (6.5”) 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.
