TOTEM KIN PLAY UK LAUNCH - THE BRISTOL HI-FI SHOW 2019

The new bookshelf speaker system, dubbed KIN Play, is a master/slave set-up equipped with Bluetooth connectivity. Totem KIN Play's left 'Master' speaker contains the amplifiers and connections. The right speaker is passive and powered by the master via a speaker cable.

According to Totem, the KIN Play is more than just another Bluetooth speaker. Contrary to what many audiophiles want to believe, Bluetooth connectivity has a broad appeal. Furthermore, these new speakers are sporting version 4.1 with aptX and aptX HD for up to 16 bits/48 kHz. However, for those that require a hardwired connection, you can also use the TOSLINK optical (24bit/192 kHz) and analogue inputs.

The analogue input has a selector switch to choose between an ordinary line input and phono for MM turntable cartridges. Bass-heads can also add a subwoofer via the Sub output.

The Totem KIN Play uses a powerful five-inch Customised Natural Hybrid woofer and a one-inch custom-made metal alloy dome tweeter. According to the manufacturer, the specified frequency range is between 50 Hz and 20 kHz. The built-in amplifier has a capacity of 2x120 watts.

The Totem KIN Play measures 180 x 355 x 235 millimetres. The active loudspeaker weighs 7.2 kilograms and the passive speaker 5.4 kilograms.

The KIN Play retails for £999 (incl. VAT).

You can find Totem Acoustic on the 4th Floor in room 426 of The Bristol Hi-Fi Show.
