Porter & Davies has launched its latest tactile monitor, moving outside of its core drum monitor product range to produce a monitor for singers and other musicians.
The new KT Platform helps musicians and performers feel the power of the music being created without deafening volume. The transfer of the full signal through bone conduction is felt and heard internally through the tactile monitor and helps them feel the music as well as hear it.
The Platform is a ‘podium’ with a tactile sound transducer which the user stands on when performing. The original KT Platform, featuring a 150w transducer, has been redesigned to feel more responsive, have a greater active area and be more robust. It is now joined by two new versions. TheTT6 Equipped KT Platform uses the TT6 1,000w super-transducer and like the TT6 Equipped Throne it can be driven by a stage amp from the monitor desk. The third version, the KT Concert Platform also features the TT6 transducer and is twice the size of the other KT Platforms.
The Engine contains all the electronics: Amp, preamp, inputs and outputs, protection circuitry and volume and tone controls. The engine comes in three styles: The BC2, rackmountable BC2rm and theGigster. All have identical build quality, power, performance and the same controls, Input Gain, Master Volume and Low Contour. The BC2 and BC2rm have a voltage switch for full international flexibility compared to the Gigster’s set voltage which makes it lighter and more portable. The BC2 has an inbuilt flight case making it ideally suited to touring and travel.
