PRETENDER The KAFKAPUREAUDIO universal audio pretender #L22 is an exceptionally neutral sound transducer. It picks up delicate tones and large vibrational widths with an ease of being that brings you even closer to the purest sound. Whether you listen to loud or quiet music it produces the finest nuances of the dynamics without any loss. This loudspeaker is characterized by the fact that you only hear the signals that have been sent. No more and no less. The loudspeaker chassis of the KAFKAPUREAUDIO universal audio pretender #L22 are digitally controlled from the sound source to the diaphragm and can be individually matched with the available room acoustics. 5
TRANSFORMER The KAFKAPUREAUDIO low frequency transformer #L4U is an active subwoofer system with a direct radiating 12 loudspeaker and a 500 watt power amplifier in a sealed concrete housing. By extending the frequency response to a full octave below the so-called lowest musical note, 16 Hz > low C on a pipe organ, an improved phase response and reduced delay is achieved over the entire audible bass range. This allows a flat acoustic response down to 6 hertz well below the audible range of humans. The KAFKAPUREAUDIO low frequency transformer #L4U is respected for its fast response, tight and musically connected bass sound over the entire bass range. This gives you a realistic per ception of the sound source for your music and movies! 6

KAFKAPUREAUDIO #C-ustom Solutions offers you an optimal platform to fullfill your ideas. The success of our products lies within your thoughts. 7
