Precision Phase-Aligned Monitoring
Experience highly accurate, phase-aligned audio reproduction that ensures critical studio decisions are based on reliable sound imaging and transient detail preservation.
KEY FEATURES
The KS Digital A200 mk2 Cherry is a compact active 3-way reference monitor with FIRTEC™ phase-linear DSP, a 10-inch bass driver, 3-inch dome midrange, 1-inch tweeter, triple PWM amplification up to 250 W per channel, and a 28 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response, designed for precise, time-aligned monitoring in professional studio environments with an enhanced cherry wood aesthetic.
Acoustic Architecture and Driver Design
The A200 integrates a three-way driver system that combines a powerful 10-inch low-frequency unit with a 3-inch dome midrange and a 1-inch fabric tweeter. KS Digital engineers mount the mid and high drivers within a precision aluminium waveguide that ensures coherent dispersion and stable imaging. This arrangement supports consistent performance across both vertical and horizontal orientations, allowing engineers to maintain reliable monitoring in varied studio layouts.
Phase Accuracy with FIRTEC™ Processing
KS Digital equips the A200 Cherry with its proprietary FIRTEC™ technology, implemented within an FPGA-based DSP engine. This system aligns frequencies in the time domain, which eliminates phase inconsistencies and preserves transient detail. The result delivers improved stereo imaging, enhanced depth, and dependable translation across playback systems, which supports critical production work.
Amplification and Direct Digital Signal Path
The monitor employs a tri-amplified configuration using PWM power stages rated at 250 W, 250 W, and 150 W for the low, mid, and high frequency sections. KS Digital integrates a direct digital drive architecture that avoids unnecessary conversion stages, ensuring signal purity and maintaining resolution from input to output. This design approach allows the A200 Cherry to reproduce audio material with exceptional clarity and precision.
Connectivity and DSP Control
The A200 supports professional workflows through balanced XLR analogue input and AES3 digital connectivity with sample rates up to 192 kHz. The internal 24-bit DSP handles crossover filtering, limiting, delay, gain control, and six user-adjustable EQ bands. Engineers can adapt the monitor response to suit specific room acoustics without relying on external processors.
Frequency Response and Output Performance
The system achieves a wide frequency range from 28 Hz to 22 kHz, delivering extended low-end reproduction and detailed high-frequency clarity. The monitor produces a continuous SPL of 116 dB and peak levels of 124 dB per pair, providing sufficient headroom for demanding mixing and mastering sessions while maintaining low distortion characteristics.
Room Tuning and Monitoring Control
The A200 includes onboard high and low shelving filters that enable fast acoustic adjustments during installation. The optional KSD-RC remote controller expands control by offering access to EQ, delay, and volume settings. The monitor also supports direct volume control at full digital scale, preserving signal integrity across the monitoring chain.
Cabinet Design and Finish
KS Digital houses the A200 Cherry within a compact enclosure measuring 420 x 300 x 310 mm and weighing 17.2 kg. The cherry finish introduces a refined visual aesthetic while maintaining the acoustic integrity of the cabinet. The waveguide design reduces diffraction effects and contributes to a more linear frequency response.
