Porter & Davies KT Platform Porter & Davies

Overview

Do you want to sound and feel like you have a huge amp stack behind you, but no one else needs to hear it? At Porter & Davies we are proud to announce the launch of our new family of KT Platforms, which use the transmission of sound by Kinetic Transfer (KT) to enable musicians to feel and hear their playing internally, instead of just relying on conventional audio methods.

The KT Platform will give you the stage shaking excitement that other monitors (in-ears, in particular) just can’t deliver. You can choose to monitor just your own instrument, or take a mix from the monitor board and lock into the groove in a way you’ve never felt before.

The KT Platform is perfect for bass players, DJs, guitarists, stand-up keyboard players and percussionists: It gives a full and faithful transfer of the sound and the weight of the sound through bone conduction. There is no time lag. It’s not just a low-end rumble: All notes are faithfully transmitted, including harmonics and all dynamics. It is highly portable and quick to set up and dial in.

Details

Please meet the brand new KT Platform family:

✓ KT Platform (available with any of our three engine styles)
✓ KT Platform (TT6 equipped)
✓ KT Concert Platform (TT6 equipped)

The standard KT Platform is a two unit system consisting of the KT Platform itself, and an ‘Engine’ which contains all of the electronics: – amp, preamp, inputs and outputs, protection circuitry, and volume and tone controls.

The Engines come in three styles: The BC2, rackmount BC2rm, and the Gigster.

The BC2, BC2rm and Gigster Engines have identical build quality, power and performance, just a few different features. The main differences are that the BC2 and BC2rm have a voltage switch for full international flexibility, whereas the Gigster has a set voltage and is much lighter and more portable. All three have the same controls, ie Input Gain, Master Volume, and Low Contour. The BC2 has an inbuilt flightcase so is best suited to touring and travel. As a musician you will not notice any difference in performance between the BC2, BC2rm and Gigster.

The TT6 Equipped KT Platform is identical in external appearance to the regular KT Platform, but it is equipped with our very own TT6 1,000w super-transducer. The beauty with this is that you can drive it with pretty much any amp over 200w up to 1,000w. This means that you do not need the P&D engine to go with it. It’s perfect for musicians who have a spare amp, or if there is an extra channel of a monitor stage amp available.

The KT Concert Platform is the bigger brother of the TT6 Equipped KT Platform described above. It too is fitted with the TT6 super-transducer, but is exactly twice the size and is therefore ideal for those who like to move around on stage more.
