Boundary Switch explained
The Kii THREE has a very controlled and well behaved dispersion, dierent from most common speaker
designs. The complete frequency spectrum from 40Hz on upwards has a cardioid radiation pattern thanks to
our Active Wave Focusing technology.
The result is that the sound is directed only towards the listener, thus eliminating the most common
negative acoustical problems of the average listening room in the low to mid frequencies. Only the very low
frequencies below 40Hz (down to approx. 19Hz/-3dB) are radiated omnidirectional around the speaker.
If you place the Kii THREE freestanding in your room, the Boundary switch should be set to „free“.
This means the speaker has a at frequency response and will put out equal energy
over its whole frequency range.
With the help of the Boundary switch the Kii THREE can be placed very close against the wall
or even into corners, while the DSP in the speaker will compensate the natural
overemphasis in bass response in these positions.
The result is that you always have an even energy response at the listening position. A nice side-eect of
positioning the Kii THREEs against the wall is, that the headroom is improved (because they have to put out
less bass energy) and the speakers can play even louder than in a free standing position.
