KIVA ENCLOSURE

®
The L-ACOUSTICS KIVA enclosure features two 6.5'' drivers mounted in a bass-reflex tuned enclosure and a HF
1.5'' diaphragm compression driver coupled to a DOSC
network uses 2 nd order filters with built-in phase compensation. The nominal impedance of the KIVA enclosure is 8
ohms.
The V-shaped coplanar transducer configuration generates polar pattern coverage of 100° horizontally with symmetric
pattern control across the projection axis, without secondary lobes over the entire frequency range. The combination
of coplanar symmetry and the DOSC
(Wavefront Sculpture Technology), thereby allowing the wavefront of a KIVA line source to be curved up to a
maximum of 15˚for each element without breaking the inter-element acoustic coupling.
The KIVA cabinet is made of ZAMAC composite material (Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper alloy) with
remarkable mechanical and acoustical properties (similar to Baltic birch plywood), with the added benefit of a high
immunity to moisture.
