The all new K-Series marks the beginning of a new era for Epos. Designed by Luke Creek, the K1 stand-mount loudspeaker is the starting point in this new range.
The K series features an unusual front firing slot port, rear mounted drivers and painted cabinet finishes. The K-Series is not only sleek and stylish, it also has a clever trick hidden up its sleeve.
Out of the box the K-Series is a stylish and sonically impressive passive loudspeaker, built to a very high standard. Now for the trick; designed into the K-Series is a latent upgrade path that allows it to be converted from a passive to a sophisticated ‘active digital’ product, using an optional Active-K module. Active-K allows the K1 to be at the heart of a 21st century ‘Hi-Resolution’ audio system.
The K-Series is much more than just another box loudspeaker, it paves the way to the future of Hi-Fi!
The all new K-Series painted MDF cabinet design includes some very clever internal bracing to minimise cabinet coloration. The K-Series sees the introduction of new reflex front firing slot port technology, designed for two special reasons.
Tweeter
Using virtual performance CAD design simulation tools, Epos has achieved very high technical performance and a clean, open, yet smooth sound quality from this tweeter.
The tweeter has a low resonant frequency, high sensitivity and extended high frequency response. With a 25mm fabric-dome, short horn, high-temperature Ferro-fluid cooled voice-coil and neodymium magnet, it is capable of playing at high output levels for extended periods without degradation to its sound quality.
Mid-Bass Driver
The Epos K1 mid-bass driver produces an even frequency response and smooth roll-off.
This mid-bass driver has a high-quality polypropylene cone and a bullet-shaped dust cap. These components form a stiff, yet pliable, well-damped structure which retains its shape even under high power loading.
The K1 mid-bass driver also benefits from a bucking-magnet system, ensuring all the magnetic force is concentrated around the voice-coil, allowing for low distortion and high efficiency.
Crossover
In true Epos tradition; the K series has reverted to a more simplistic passive crossover topology, for which the brand is synonymous.
A first order crossover is used to allow the Epos tweeter to have a wide dynamic range with super low distortion. The mid-bass crossover uses a 2nd order filter ensuring the K1 is an easy load for any amplifier.
