Hi Everyone,
I luckily managed to pick up a number of old KCS speakers from a cinema being upgraded. All seem to be in great working condition, but I'm now trying to find some information about the drivers beyond the very basic datasheets that KCS themselves supply. I figure these are likely OEM drivers that KCS orders for themselves, but I'm hoping that someone has measured them previously or knows what they are copies of (if they are copies of another manufacturers).
These speakers also 10-15yrs old, so that doesn't help.
I have a number of:
S-801 Compression driver
S-1535 15” woofer
S-1846 18” subwoofer driver
G-10K 10" woofers
TR-02 1" compression horns
The whole speaker units themselves have the following model numbers:
6x C-115 PL F (horn & 15" main speakers)
14x SR-10-A (1" comp driver + 10" woofer surrounds)
4x C-118-A Subwoofers (18" subwoofers)
I know it's a long shot that anyone would know what these are, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
I've sent KCS themselves an email, but alas no reply.
I'll be getting a DATS system at some point, but I don't have one yet.
Have a good weekend!
As a bonus, here is a very rudimentary measurement of one of the C-118 PL F mains. Raw Compression driver vs Whole system with 15" + crossover network.
