Kerr | K100

HAND-CRAFTED IN CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND 
Integrating and refining the finest loudspeaker technologies available, Kerr Acoustic represents the new benchmark in high-resolution audio reproduction. Combining cutting-edge driver technology with bespoke hand-crafted cabinets, our loudspeakers achieve unmatched levels of detail, clarity, and extension. Whether your requirements are professional or purely for leisure, Kerr Acoustic loudspeakers will bring your listening experience to previously undiscovered levels of accuracy and realism.

Our reference loudspeaker - the K100 is a large format three-way design, featuring a twelve-inch Radial™ woofer partnered with a three-inch dome and true ribbon tweeter. Offering an uncompromised frequency response from 16Hz to 45kHz, the K100 is a true reference monitor, designed to set the new standard in professional monitoring and critical listening.

Whether you require a truly compromise-free accurate monitoring solution in your mix/mastering studio, or the ultimate reproduction of fine detail in your personal system, the K100 guarantees a truly accurate and fully extended sonic performance. Constructed exclusively from 24mm Baltic Birch Plywood, the K100 is capable of effortlessly reproducing any program material with total ease and accuracy. The strength and rigidity of the cabinet construction, combined with cutting-edge driver technology allows for uncoloured and vivid musical playback at all listening levels.

The mk.2 update brings significant improvement to the internal passive crossover networks, providing a smoother and more linear response throughout the upper midband and high frequencies. This allows the K100s to convey an even greater sense of depth and spacial information, whilst simultaneously reducing glare and listener fatigue.

Available in a range of real wood veneer finishes, including Oak, Walnut, Rosenut and Black Oak, as well as either satin or high-gloss lacquer in any RAL colour.

Supplied with magnetic grilles and threaded M8 spikes as standard.

KERR ACOUSTIC TRANSMISSION LINE
Based on quarter-wave technology, the Kerr Acoustic transmission line represents a breakthrough in frequency response and extension. We have carefully refined every detail of our transmission lines, to ensure exceptionally well-controlled and extended bass, and clear uncoloured midrange. The resultant performance truly belies the physical size of our speakers, bringing remarkable sonic reproduction into your space.

CROSSOVER WITHOUT COMPROMISE
We firmly believe that a crossover network can make or break a loudspeaker design, which is why we consider the quality of these circuits to be of the utmost importance. Using bespoke hand-wound air-core inductors, and the highest quality pair-matched film capacitors and resistors, our crossovers are kept utterly neutral and transparent. Each crossover is hand-assembled on our custom PCB boards. and individually measured before being installed. We use pure OFC copper internal wiring in each loudspeaker, and feature high-quality 5-way copper binding posts.

TRUE RIBBON TWEETER
Whether you’re a professional mix engineer who requires surgical precision when creating music, or a discerning audiophile who wishes to hear every nuance when listening for pleasure, the true ribbon tweeter delivers unprecedented clarity and resolution. Once you become accustomed to listening with this level of precision and detail without fatigue, you’ll never switch back to a conventional tweeter.

BALTIC BIRCH PLYWOOD
The physical loudspeaker cabinet is arguably the most fundamental component in any speaker design, whilst simultaneously being one of the most overlooked. We place a great emphasis on the materials and construction quality of our cabinets, taking every possible measure to eliminate unwanted resonance. Each cabinet we produce is handcrafted from the highest grade responsibly-sourced Baltic birch plywood. The 90-degree alternating cross-grain makeup of our plywood allows us to create panels which are entirely self-damping and acoustically inert. As a result, our cabinets are extremely strong and rigid, and transfer minimal levels of mechanical energy into their surrounding environment. When compared with cabinets made from MDF and other less costly alternatives, the difference in performance is starkly clear.

STUNNING CUSTOM FINISHES
Our finishing options are of the very highest quality, and guarantee your loudspeakers to be a stunning addition to any space. It’s no secret that while sonic performance is the ultimate goal, aesthetics play a large role in the ultimate enjoyment of your loudspeakers, and that in many cases you may wish for your loudspeakers to fit into a pre-existing setting. Using the RAL colour system, we are able to match to over 200 different colours in automotive-grade polyester lacquer, in either satin or high gloss finishing options. We also offer a range of sumptuous real wood veneer finishes, with customisation available upon request.
