Designed with innovation in mind, this speaker is engineered to seamlessly switch between expanded surround sound imaging or single stereo mode. Taking advantage of the rotating dual tweeter design, the KIN IC62 SST offers 30 greater off axis dispersion in surround mode allowing a single loudspeaker to cover a greater surface area while retaining maximum detail and resolution.

Enhanced with dual ceramic high performance rotating tweeters the KIN IC62 SST can also be mounted in sub optimal positions while focusing high frequency detail to the listening position. Switching to Single stereo mode allows a Single KIN IC62 SST to deliver exceptional stereo reproduction, perfect for tight spaces and secondary rooms where installing multiple loudspeakers is not possible. With differentiated crossovers for each tweeter, there is no cancellation from their close physical proximity, an industry first.

Stealth that Draws Attention

Proprietary driver technology and an extensive feature set establish the IC8 as the benchmark among 8” in-ceiling speakers for price versus performance.

The Kin Architectural IC8 seamlessly integrates into any living space but their stunning performance will inevitably draw attention. Due to its remarkable 75-degree dispersion, the KIN IC8 is easy to place in any room and can play much larger room envelopes than most architectural speakers. Totem’s signature powerful bass, smooth highs, and natural vocals are evenly spread throughout the room. A Low Volume Intelligibility switch even ensures that sound is as rich and detailed in applications where low volume listening is required.

KIN IC8 intermixes harmoniously with any existing traditional, on-wall, or architectural Totem speaker for a variety of multi-channel options. Kin Architectural models have stainless steel, magnetic grills and hardware so they’re weather resistant and ready for the outdoors under covered areas and soffits.

Optional Accessories

  • PCK8: Pre-construction kits facilitate installation before drywall has been installed.
  • SGK8: Square Grille Kits permit cosmetic finishing touches to suit personal design tastes.

Exquisite Sound. Out of Sight.

Features in Detail

Enormous Dispersion

KIN IC diffuse sound in an enormously wide, expansive manner comparable to a flood light and illuminate a room with Totem’s holographic sound whereas most others function like a focused, narrow spotlight, creating small acoustic “hot spots”. The dispersion is almost twice that of competitive speakers, so it takes fewer Totem speakers to thoroughly fill a room, and listeners enjoy the same sound whether seated or standing.

Construction / Ease of Installation

Stainless Steel Hardware

Stainless steel hardware and grilles resist corrosion and make KIN suitable for indoor high humidity applications like bathrooms and saunas, and even somewhat protected outdoor applications like soffits and gazebos.

Unified Framework Shield

A ribbed, connected cover protects the speaker from material within walls and ceilings during the installation process and reinforces the rigidity of the integral framework to eliminate resonance.

Heavy Duty Dog Ears

This dog ear system means the speaker installs smoothly, quickly, and easily in any situation. The robust clamping mechanism and drywall gripping teeth provides a rigidity that improves midrange accuracy and bass response.

Customized Poly Woofers in Stamped Steel Baskets

Polypropylene woofers are designed to our exacting standards for a high strength to weight ratio. Driven by a robust motor structure and powerful magnetic system, they produce powerful yet controlled bass.

Customized Tweeters

1” soft dome tweeter

A neodymium magnet in a chambered enclosure has high excursion ability, measures flat out to 30kHz, and an unbelievably low 750Hz resonance frequency.  A modified version of the tweeter found in the higher end Kin architectural back box models, it provides crystal clear highs. Pivoting tweeter faceplate aims the directional high frequencies towards the listening area.

Stealth that Draws Attention

Proprietary driver technology and an extensive feature set establish the IC6 as the benchmark among 6” in-ceiling speakers for price versus performance.

The Kin Architectural IC6 seamlessly integrates into any living space but their stunning performance will inevitably draw attention.

Features in Detail

Integrated Wood Back Box

Integrated back boxes ensure optimum performance regardless of the wall cavity size or content. Wherever they are installed, they react as if the wall was custom made for them. Metal, plastic, or aluminum enclosures have inherent distortion issues that wood does not. Back boxes also provide substantial sound isolation and protect against materials in the wall that can damage the drivers.

Enormous Dispersion

KIN Architectural diffuse sound in an enormously wide, expansive manner comparable to a flood light and illuminate a room with Totem’s holographic sound. Most others function like a focused, narrow spotlight, creating small acoustic “hot spots”. The dispersion is almost twice that of competitive speakers, so it takes fewer Totem speakers to thoroughly fill a room, and listeners enjoy the same sound whether seated or standing.

MHEX Woofer In Cast Baskets

Multiple layers of phenolic honeycomb and woven synthetics are extremely rigid, have sensational transient capabilities, and a pure, flat response in the critical 100Hz to 2.5kHz range. Cast frames are tremendously strong, resistant to distortion causing resonances, and the open framework design allows larger spiders and voice coils to be implemented. The result is high power handling and formidable bass.

Titanium Infused Tweeters

The soft dome material exhibits characteristic smoothness while the added titanium element imparts highs that are detailed, airy, and extraordinarily lifelike.

Metal Amalgamation Passive Radiators

5” passive radiators are made of a proprietary compound of metals chosen for their strength to weight ratios. They are unyieldingly rigid yet perfectly weighted, so bass is both forceful and musical. These passives function in tandem with the MHEX drivers to tune the sealed enclosure to perfection with size defying bass output.

Connectors

High conductivity gold plated connectors efficiently capture the incoming signal for superior speaker performance. They accommodate a variety of connection options such as bare wire, banana plugs, and spades.

User Adjustments

Low Volume Intelligibility Switch

This feature fine tunes the output at low listening levels to improve the clarity of vocals and maintain bass response normally lost at minimal volume.

Pivoting Tweeter Faceplate

Allows you to aim the more directional high frequencies towards the listening area for better overall clarity in challenging placement situations.

Cast frames are tremendously strong, resistant to distortion causing resonances, and the open framework design allows larger spiders and voice coils to be implemented. The result is high power handling and formidable bass.

1” Ceramic Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeters

An aluminum dome receives a ceramic coating that greatly improves the stiffness and damping characteristics compared to traditional metal domes. This takes the resonances out to 30kHz and past our hearing ability for the most natural, distortion-free sound. It’s also resistant to moisture, sunlight, and extreme temperatures, making the speakers very versatile and suitable to almost any application.
