About the KIN Monitor
The KIN Monitor is a compact passive bookshelf loudspeaker in Totem's KIN Series, designed to deliver a three-dimensional, holographic soundstage and unusually full-bodied sound from a small enclosure. It uses a 1-inch metal alloy dome tweeter for airy, detailed highs and a custom 4-inch natural hybrid woofer for fast, musical bass, tuned with a rear micro port to refine bass response and expand the 3D soundstage. The rigid cabinet is physically larger and more robust than earlier KIN models to handle higher power, and is available in satin black and satin white finishes. When paired with Totem's KIN AMP, it forms a synergistic system that allows the KIN Monitor to perform at its full potential.
