Totem KIN Force 3-Channel Soundbar Bundle with KIN Sub 8 at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The Totem KIN Force and KIN Sub 8 Bundle is a complete 3.1 architectural home theater system from Totem Acoustic (Montreal, Canada), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. The KIN Force is a passive 3-channel LCR on-wall soundbar measuring 47.25 inches wide and just 3.5 inches deep, housing six proprietary 4-inch MHEX phenolic honeycomb woofers and three 1-inch titanium-injected soft dome tweeters across dedicated left, centre, and right channels, covering 57 Hz to 21 kHz at 90 dB sensitivity and 6 ohms nominal impedance per channel. The KIN Sub 8 adds a 200-watt Class D amplifier driving an 8-inch reinforced fiberglass woofer in a slotted enclosure, extending system bass to 29 Hz in-room. The bundle includes wall bracket, magnetic grilles, and anti-skid feet for all components, and the KIN Force handles 20 to 125 watts RMS per channel from any AV receiver or multi-channel amplifier.

KIN Force: Six MHEX Woofers and Three Discrete LCR Channels

The KIN Force houses three independent speaker systems within a single 47.25-inch-wide, 3.5-inch-deep on-wall enclosure, with each channel receiving a dedicated pair of 4-inch MHEX woofers and one 1-inch titanium-injected soft dome tweeter. The MHEX cone construction uses multiple layers of phenolic honeycomb and woven synthetic materials bonded into a single rigid diaphragm that maintains a pure, flat frequency response through the critical 100 Hz to 2.5 kHz midrange band with sensational transient capability. Cast aluminum frames surround each MHEX driver, resisting resonance-inducing vibrations and enabling larger voice coils and spiders for the 20 to 125-watt power handling and bass output that defies the 3.5-inch-deep enclosure. The 1-inch titanium-injected soft dome tweeter in each channel combines soft dome smoothness with titanium-enhanced speed for precise, effervescent high-frequency clarity. Because the KIN Force's three channels are fully discrete, dialogue remains anchored to the centre position while music and cinematic effects extend naturally to the left and right, producing Totem's signature holographic soundstage from a single slim cabinet mounted flush beside or below the television. The ported enclosure tuning supports the bass output of all six MHEX woofers, reinforcing low-frequency efficiency and extension to 57 Hz.

KIN Sub 8: 200W and 29 Hz Musical Bass Foundation

The KIN Sub 8 is a compact powered subwoofer measuring 9.5 inches wide, 11.25 inches tall, and 11.5 inches deep, providing the low-frequency foundation for the 3.1 system from a footprint that fits on any shelf, in any cabinet, or beside any piece of AV furniture. Its 8-inch reinforced fiberglass cone woofer uses high-tensile spun fiberglass strands bonded to a cellulose core, providing exceptional cone rigidity relative to weight for controlled deep bass excursion. A butyl rubber surround allows the extended excursion needed to reach 29 Hz in-room from the compact slotted enclosure. The 200-watt Class D amplifier is engineered specifically for this driver and enclosure combination, and rear-panel volume, phase, and variable crossover frequency controls allow precise integration with the KIN Force speakers and any room acoustic. RCA stereo and LFE inputs provide compatibility with the subwoofer output of any AV receiver paired with the KIN Force.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Totem KIN Force and KIN Sub 8 Bundle?

The Totem KIN Force and KIN Sub 8 Bundle is a complete 3.1 architectural home theater system from Totem Acoustic, Montreal, Canada. It includes the KIN Force passive 3-channel LCR on-wall soundbar with six 4-inch MHEX woofers and three 1-inch titanium-injected soft dome tweeters covering 57 Hz to 21 kHz per channel, plus the KIN Sub 8 powered subwoofer with a 200-watt Class D amplifier and 8-inch reinforced fiberglass driver reaching 29 Hz in-room. Wall bracket, magnetic grilles, and anti-skid feet for all components are included.

How does the Totem KIN Force Bundle compare to the Sonos Arc Ultra or Samsung HW-Q990D soundbar system?

The Totem KIN Force and KIN Sub 8 Bundle is a passive architectural speaker system requiring an external AV receiver, which gives it a different performance profile from all-in-one active systems like the Sonos Arc Ultra and Samsung HW-Q990D. The Sonos Arc Ultra includes Dolby Atmos processing and Wi-Fi multiroom streaming, and the Samsung HW-Q990D adds wireless rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer in a complete package. The KIN Force bundle delivers discrete passive LCR channel separation with Totem's MHEX driver technology and phase-coherent design, which produces a more accurate and musically coherent front soundstage than DSP-simulated spatial audio. Its passive design also allows amplifier quality and upgrade choices that no integrated active soundbar system permits.

Does the KIN Force require a specific AV receiver or amplifier?

The KIN Force is a passive 3-channel LCR soundbar requiring an external AV receiver or multi-channel amplifier rated at 20 to 125 watts per channel at 6 ohms nominal impedance. Any AV receiver from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, or NAD with at least three amplified speaker channels at 6 ohms connects to the KIN Force's three channel binding posts. The KIN Sub 8 connects to the receiver's LFE or subwoofer output via RCA cable. For stereo music applications with only left and right channels active, the Totem KIN AMP at 2 x 100 watts drives the KIN Force's left and right sections effectively.

Can the KIN Force be used above the TV as well as below?

Yes, the KIN Force can be wall-mounted below or above the television using the included flush bracket, or placed on furniture in front of or beside the TV. Its ported enclosure and symmetrical driver layout produce consistent sound in either mounting position. Totem recommends wall mounting for optimal acoustic performance and visual integration with the television installation.

What is the difference between the KIN Force Bundle and the KIN Solo Bundle?

The KIN Force and KIN Sub 8 Bundle combines the KIN Force 3-channel LCR soundbar with a KIN Sub 8 subwoofer, providing three discrete LCR channels in one 47.25-inch soundbar cabinet. The KIN Solo and KIN Sub 8 Bundle provides three separate KIN Solo on-wall speakers as the LCR front stage. The KIN Force is the preferred choice for installations where a single slim cabinet mounting below the television is desired, while the KIN Solo bundle is preferred for installations where individual speaker positioning around the TV is possible and desirable for wider soundstage separation.
