Kin Series/Powered Bluetooth Speakers
KIN Play Tower
Powered
The powered concept combines simplicity, convenience, modern technology, and versatility.
Simplicity: Requires no additional amplifier so there’s no complicated wiring.
Modern technology: Equipped with Bluetooth for wireless streaming.
Convenience: No bulky, connected electronics allows them to be easily placed anywhere and controlled with your phone, tablet, or any Bluetooth equipped device.
Versatility: Analog and digital inputs allow a variety of sources to be connected, from turntables to gaming systems.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth 5.0 combined with Qualcomm® aptX™ HD technology means high resolution, CD quality streaming from a wide variety of devices. Compared to previous versions, Bluetooth 5.0 has substantially better range, speed, and message capacity for stronger connections and less dropouts. One BT5.0 device can also send simultaneous signals to 2 BT5.0 speakers, such as the KIN Play Tower and KIN Play Sound Bar.
Arsenal of Inputs
Beyond Bluetooth, KIN Play Tower has an arsenal of inputs to ensure you can connect anything and everything. This includes a switchable Phono/Line stereo RCA input for anything from a TV to a turntable; 3.5mm (Mini Jack) Input for computers, phones, and other portable devices; 2 Optical inputs for digital sources like satellite, gaming systems, streamers; Subwoofer output to add a powered subwoofer; Amp bypass input for custom installations.
Customized Drivers
Every single driver is completely unique to Totem and proprietary in design, engineered by Totem and then manufactured to the strictest standards to meet our parameters by the finest raw driver suppliers in the world. In some cases, where the technology is beyond the capabilities of suppliers or is wished to kept secret, Totem can and will build its own drivers. Every driver exhibits phase linearity, speed, emotion, off axis natural presentation, and spatial articulation.
KIN SERIES PASSIVE SPEAKERS, SUBWOOFERS AND AMPLIFIERS
Customized Drivers
Bespoke Acoustic Engineering

Mounting Bracket
Secure and Versatile
The Flex mounting bracket securely holds the KIN Flex in both on-wall or on-ceiling applications. When oriented vertically, included angled pads can be applied to the back, countering the angled baffle, to position Flex parallel to the wall and enhance dispersion.
Sound Isolation Pads
Acoustic Decoupling
Adhesive backed Sound Isolation Pads decouple the speaker from the surface upon which it rests. They eliminate the distortion created by the vibrations transferred from the cabinet to the furniture.
Connectors
Gold Plated Banana Plugs
High conductivity gold plated connectors efficiently capture the incoming signal for superior speaker performance. They accommodate a variety of connection options such as bare wire, banana plugs, and spades.

Uniquely Designed Amplifiers
Specifically conceived for one job
Each Totem subwoofer amplifier is designed with a specific set of parameters for a single goal; to power the particular drivers within its given enclosure, all designed in tandem. Simply put, each Totem subwoofer amplifier is unique. As unique as every Totem driver. They are designed in tandem so they work harmoniously and with ultimate efficiency, attaining the maximum from each other. Throughout the design process the amplifier is tweaked and modified until it perfectly combines power and musicality.
Connectivity Options
Go wired or wireless
Stereo RCA and LFE inputs offer the wired connection options cover all modern gear. But, it is also equipped with an integrated Bluetooth receiver so the optional LINK transmitter can be added for wireless connectivity.
Sealed Enclosure
Better performance and versatility
The trapped air inside a sealed enclosure acts as a spring, dampening the movement of the woofer, and smoothly modulating the cone’s motion. This translates to notes being produced evenly for natural, musical, clear bass output. They can also be placed very close to boundaries or even within furniture with very little, if any, affect on their performance.

Ultra Low-Profile Anti-Resonance Feet
Eliminate unwanted vibrations
These feet help acoustically isolate the cabinet from the floor, preventing resonances, vibrations, and other unwanted effects that can have negative effects on the performance. It is strongly recommended that they be used so the subwoofer can perform at its full potential.
Bass Reflex Enclosure
Slot Port
The slot port is methodically designed to tune the enclosure to the lowest possible frequency, while maintaining impact, musicality, and depth. It tunes the cabinet in the same manner a port tunes a speaker, and allows the subwoofer to produce size defying bass.
