"I have to say I'm a bit blown away"

Now that I have had a good amount of time with my Kii Three monitors, I have to say I’m a bit blown away. Never had monitors so instantly translate, never had monitors where I didn’t have to guess with the low mid and sub, and I have never had monitors that reward a good mix as much as these. This is the first time I find myself listening to music in the studio, rather than it just being a workplace.Yeah they aren’t cheap, but I also haven’t had to spend any money on treating a room I likely won’t be in long term. On top of that, I do use them for work, and the Amphions these replaced were my set for 7 years or so. I trust these will serve me at least as long as those. Born on October 31, 1984, Misha Mansoor, widely known by his stage name Bulb, is a prominent American musician recognized for founding the progressive metal band Periphery, where he serves as one of three guitarists. His musical endeavors extend to his involvement in projects such as Haunted Shores, Four Seconds Ago, and Of Man, Not of Machine. Mansoor is often hailed as a pioneering figure in the djent genre, although he humbly attributes the coinage of the term to Meshuggah’s guitarist Fredrik Thordendal. Within Periphery, he has showcased his talents by recording, producing, and releasing seven studio albums, including titles like “Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal” and “Periphery IV: Hail Stan.” His exceptional skills have earned him a spot among Guitar World magazine’s Top 20 guitarists of the 2010s. Reflecting on his experience with the Kii Three monitors, Mansoor shares his astonishment: “After spending a substantial amount of time with my Kii Three monitors, I’m honestly astounded. These are the first monitors I’ve used that offer such immediate translation of sound, eliminating any guesswork in the low mid and sub frequencies. It’s an unprecedented experience for me.”

Listening to the Kii Three for the 1st time knocked me over, how amazing and dynamic they sound. 
So many precise and accurate transparent details in the low end, Realistic, Unbelievable frequency response, crystal clear mid & hi range.
 Few hours of magnifying glass listening, to all styles generes, 60´s to this day music is such a pleasure with this spectacular audio system. In Producing & Mixing the most important K(ii)ey for my work is to have honest and transparent speakers that translates your work perfectly to other systems and audio environments. The system is highly upgraded with the Kii Control. Mastering leap to the next level keeping a clear signal path. This is definitely the Kii.

Marco Battistella
The Key (Kii)

The key to building great sounding monitors is to authentically reproduce the natural depth, width and frequency response of a recording with as little compromise as possible. Kii achieved this in surpassing all of my expectations! Trusting speakers has always been a struggle for us as you usually need to adapt your workflow and mix to the character of the monitor in order to achieve the desired result. This completely changed with our Kii Three BXT System – we just listen and enjoy! From a young age, Marco Battistella Jr., son of an esteemed orchestra conductor, was immersed in the world of classical music. By the age of four, he had already begun cello lessons, setting the stage for a life deeply entwined with music. His formal education unfolded at the Conservatory of the City of Luxembourg, where he received comprehensive training in music theory, saxophone, church organ, vocal techniques, Gregorian chant, choral singing, and eventually opera. After honing his skills, Battistella ventured to Vienna to further explore composition, enriching his understanding and mastery of music. Today, he leverages his extensive background as a performer in his dedication to producing classical music, jazz, and blues. He is committed to achieving the most authentic sound reproduction, which spans live broadcasts, concert recordings, and the creation of CDs and music videos. In his role at Lorely Hall, Battistella serves as a producer and sound engineer, specializing in classical music. His professional journey has taken him across Europe to Austria, Luxembourg, Germany, France, and Norway. Since September 2012, he has been imparting his knowledge to students in music, computer science, and sound engineering at ORG1 for Art and Music Hegelgasse in Vienna. Additionally, he is a lecturer at the SAE Institute in Vienna, where he covers stereo symphony, music theory, and the psychology of recording spaces. Battistella’s involvement in music extends to his active participation in the Vienna Singverein since 2008, showcasing his talent in prestigious venues like the Vienna Musikverein and Konzerthaus, the Salzburg Festival, and international stages in Japan, China, Russia, Turkey, France, and Luxembourg. He is a respected member of the Audio Engineering Society since 2011, the P&E Wing of NARAS since 2015, and has served as a GRAMMY Award jury member. Since 2017, he has been affiliated with the Association of German Tonmeister. Regarding the Kii monitors, Battistella believes that the essence of exceptional sound reproduction lies in the authentic representation of a recording’s natural depth, width, and frequency response, with minimal compromise. Kii’s monitors have not only met but exceeded his expectations, offering a level of trust in speakers that he had not experienced before.

"Simply put, they're the best speakers I've ever heard"
"Simply put, they're the best speakers I've ever heard. Perfectly balanced. Perfect transient response up and down the frequency range. Absolute clarity everywhere. But the biggest thing for me is the bass response. I work on a lot of modern pop/urban pop records which have a lot of sub-40hz stuff going on and to get this sort of bass from a traditional speaker, you'd need a room at least twice the size of the one I work out of now. When I first set them up and measured them, with minimal tweaking on the Kii Control I managed to get them pretty much flat down to 15hz. In a small room. Unbelievable. The first mix I sent off after dialling them in, the artist remarked on how great it sounded and asked what I'd done differently. I told him it was the speakers! I no longer need multiple sets of monitors. They're all I need and I trust them completely. Game changer. Ridiculously good.

Incredible speaker
"Incredible speaker. It has it all, detail, punch (like PUNCH), transient response, stereo imaging, accuracy…accuracy! The BXT bass extension makes it a perfect full range system with really nice headroom, the low end detail and impact is just phenomenal.I was looking for a full range system that I could use daily in my mastering room, to work with more confidence, faster and more accurately.I found it in the Kii BXT system. The Kii control being the icing on the cake. I couldn't be happier!"

Video Statement
Jonas Westling is a Swedish born Grammy nominated mixing and recording engineer based in London. He has worked with artists as diverse as Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney and Newton Faulkner.The first thing I thought when I heard the key speakers was that how amazingly good the bottom end was, they sound like main monitors in a small cabinet. Secondly, of course, the clarity and flat frequency response, there are no holes in the frequencies they are entirely flat. I have always been thinking that top end speakers have always been a little bit too bright. I preferred darker sounding speakers, but the is the first speaker that is flat, the top end is amazing as well as well as the bottom.For me the Kii are just an extension of the music, I don't really hear the room in them, I don't hear the speaker to hear the music how it's intended to be. It's night and day difference. I don't get to do client revisions anymore really, I have maybe one revision and some small changes. But when it is right on the Kii Three then it is almost right everywhere all the time. Nowadays I don't even have a second set of speakers. I trust the Kii that much. I used to have three pairs to switch between but thinking back then maybe that just made me more confused. Having one set of speakers that you really trust has just been a game-changer for me.

"The Kii THREE speakers are without question the best monitors I have ever used."

"The Kii THREE speakers are without question the best monitors I have ever used. The detailed and revealing frequency response is from earth to light. These little monsters have balls at an extremely low level. I don't mix at loud volumes so to get a full frequency response out of a small speaker has always been my holy grail. I found my home with the Kii THREE's in minutes – a breakthrough speaker design that really works and delivers the goods."

Nigel Godrich
Strongroom Studios – London

Nestled away discretely via the main Reception, Studio 2 is Strongroom’s best kept secret. Featuring a spacious, leisurely control room, a sizeable booth and a unique street-side view, this is Strongroom with a difference. Once the go-to studio for hit remix production and surround mixing, Studio 2 was then closed to the public for years as Nigel Godrich’s private facility, until 2018 when the doors opened once more as a joint venture.Refurbished to feature a minimalist, collaborative approach marrying a selection of artwork from Nigel’s personal collection and original Jamie Reid panelling, Studio 2 brings a new aesthetic to Strongroom for those in search of a contemporary feel with greater environmental control. A large HD projector shines onto a screen behind the mix position and optional coloured lighting with low-noise dimmers allow for full lighting customisation.Centered around a one-of-a-kind Dalcon console, and with the Strongroom-staple Boxer main monitors, the studio also offers Kii Audio THREE, NS10 and Auratone nearfields along with a selection of classic vintage synthesizers (Moog, Juno, Transcendent 2000 etc). The booth houses a Wendel & Lung upright piano with a clear line of sight to the mix position and exterior windows.A 32 I/O Pro Tools HDX2 system with an exhaustive list of plugins runs tirelessly on a Mac Pro 6.1 dustbin or, for the analogue fans, a 3M 24-track tape machine and oodles of classic compressors. Outboard effects include AMS, Eventide, Roland and an EMT 140 plate reverb, plus the usual floating Strongroom arsenal available on request.Hugely versatile and implemented to the highest technical standard with one of the country’s most respected producers, Strongroom 2 is not to be missed. “Studio 2 is a great sounding control room and a perfect home for my mixing setup. I love working there.It is a calm focused oasis” – Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck, Paul McCartney, Roger Waters)

Grammy Nominee

"I really love the Kiis because I can hear the subs, rather than only feel the subs like on other speakers. Working on the Kiis completely changed the way I think about mixing. I can use the Kii Control to calibrate to a fixed listening level so that I never get ear fatigue. Plus, the cardioid bass lets me hear the low end all the way down to 20 Hz without having to dime out the speakers. For Planets Mad, that was essential. I do not think I could mix or master the records I make in this room with any other speaker.”

SONNOX
Plug-in Development Gurus Sonnox choose Kii Three Pro Monitors

The company behind the acclaimed Kii THREE Mini Main monitor system is delighted to announce the Kii THREE Promonitor has been chosen by plugin company Sonnox for testing their products. Speaking about the decision Giles Farley for Sonnox said;“We at Sonnox have a long-standing reputation for taking an uncompromising approach tomaking plug-Ins. Critical listening is of vital importance in guiding us to make the bestchoices in making new stuff. The fact that some of our products can have subtle effectsfurther emphasises this requirement to hear all possible. Warts and all. So when it came to updating our listening room earlier this year, we bench-tested the verybest mid-field monitors we could find. The brief was simple; we were after transparency,precision and reliability. Unsurprisingly the same hallmark qualities that exemplify ourproducts.On this basis, our team unanimously chose Kii speakers above the best 3 alternatives thatwe could find. Our expectation, given the evident quality of the competition, was that allcompeting test results would be pretty tightly grouped; with the winner being chosen by thetiniest of margins.To our surprise the Kii system won by some distance; even performance across the entirespectrum, pin-sharp imaging and the way that their design helps to offset some LF roomissues all contributed. We couldnʼt be more happy with the choice we made!”

"They completely redefined the idea I had of what professional monitoring should be."

"I thought it' be easy to come up with a quote as a Kii Three user…but it's actually very tough! Because everything I truly want to say makes me sound overzealous…​ They completely redefined the idea I had of what professional monitoring should be. Not only do they show you exactly what your music sounds like (either in all of its glory or in all of its "ugly" which is what anyone should expect from a truly serious monitoring system), but they also give you microscopic details about what your stuff FEELS like! And they can do it even in "less than ideal" environments… which in the monitoring world is completely backwards by definition. The first major project I finished on them was delivered in one go… V1, and that was it. Done. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing better out there, period."
