From KSD Studio Monitors

The KSD Linemaster sets a new benchmarks in loudspeaker construction and a new standard for recording and mastering performance. Operating with the highest degree of sonic neutrality, the KSD Linemaster delivers a perfect holographic stage with maximum impulse control at even the highest monitoring levels. 

Technically realized by our phase-linear KSD-FIRTEC™ processor, the music signal is converted into sound using the innovative NExT™ technology (Pat.:DE102015102643A). This generates a cylindrical wave that brings significantly more information to the engineer's ear, allowing exceptional control. The power amplifiers with a system output of >2000W ensure minimal distortion and guarantee unmatched reproduction performance.

Exceptional low-frequency performance is provided by the combination of two sensor-regulated 12“ performance drivers with an additional (vented) dual 15” sub-chassis. The latency-free cone control of the 12“ drivers converts the low frequencies in the music signal into sound in an extremely controlled and resonance-free manner, while the two vented 15” drivers provide the necessary boost, even and especially at higher SPL levels. The combination of NexT™ technology and this exceptional bass drive offers an unheard-of performance with perfect control throughout the entire creative process in the studio.
