LOW-EXTENSION mode
In LOW-EXTENSION mode, the bandwidth of the KIVA system is extended in the low end.
It corresponds to the use of a KIVA line source in combination with the KILO extension, and with the optional addition
of the SB18 subwoofer.
The KIVA and KILO enclosures are driven by the LA4 amplified controller with a choice of two hybrid presets,
depending on the optional addition of the SB18 subwoofer.
The SB18 subwoofer is driven by the LA4 or the LA8 amplified controller with a
preset
featuring an upper frequency
limit at 60 Hz, for an optimal acoustic coupling with the KIVA/KILO line source.
