Kerr Acoustic loudspeakers

Kerr Acoustics is lead by Jes Kerr and is a small artisan UK speaker manufacturer. His design goals were to manufacture speakers with the visceral bass impact and speed to accurately render drum transients. Kerr Acoustics speakers use some of the finest drivers in the world including the use of True Ribbon high frequency units, and Scanspeak or Volt units supporting mid-range and bass duties. Their birch-ply transmission line cabinet further differentiates them from the pack.

We have working with them on the voicing of a future iteration of one of their existing units, the floor standing K320 Mk2 model and have requested a change to the crossover switch module to allow for -2dB and -4dB options from the flat response position. This allows for a better tonal balance when the K320s are placed in free space rather than closer to wall boundaries. In addition Jes Kerr has attenuated the tweeter with a unique L-Pad circuit that had made radical improvements to the voicing and staging. A remarkable open and large sound stage with a less forward presentation; the speaker is even more impressive than before in its ability to disappear.

Contrary to many transmission line designs, these speaker have fast and tight bass response and, more importantly, can be placed closer to walls than most dynamic designs. This is helpful in rooms where free space positioning is not always possible to obtain optimal sound performance. Whilst the K320 delivers astonishing scale and authority from a compact and slim cabinet, there is some loss of sound stage depth when closer to walls, but this slight compromise is acceptable when the overall performance of these speakers is one of transparency, speed and precision of imaging.

Featuring the unique Kerr Acoustic transmission line, the K320 produces a stunningly accurate and extended frequency response from 24Hz – 45kHz which remains linear and uncoloured at all playback levels.

All models can be produced in any RAL colour at no extra cost. Kerr Acoustic now offer a range of wood veneers.
