CELSUS UK, Poole based distributor for KICKER AUDIO Marine products in Europe, are displaying three new speaker lines from the Oklahoma based manufacturer on booth 01.531 in hall 1 at METS 15-17th November.
The expanding 2023 offering will feature an OEM focussed flush mount classic grill style, horn loaded high output models and an entry level 6.5” coaxial. KICKER aim to give distributors, installers and boat owners more choice when configuring high-end performance audio systems.
METS offers the industry a first look at the flush mount model which boasts all the performance that is expected of a KICKER Marine speaker with the added benefit of classic grill style aesthetics and very low profile flush mount fitment. Full RGB LED illumination is also included in this model, giving it a subtle look that blends in with all styles of boats. White and Anthracite grill colourways available.
Paul Baker, CELSUS UK Managing Director, said
“KICKER is fast becoming a trusted audio brand in the European market and the latest additions to the range will cement their reputation. We are extremely delighted to show flush mount speakers to our customers, we believe this product gives KICKER the edge moving into 2023.”
Next is the KMXL range of high output horn-loaded compression coaxial speakers which are designed to play louder and throw sound further, the real deal for those that want a party boat atmosphere. Engineered to deliver incredible performance in high power systems, the white KMXL comes in three models, a 6.5”, 8” and a rather unique 6x9” version. All models benefit from full spectrum LED illumination and are of course UV and salt fog tested to exceed industry standards, as with all KICKER Marine speakers.
The KM604 value coaxial is perfectly positioned to give boat owners access to KICKER performance and quality where budget is limited. Designed to sound amazing when paired directly with a KICKER source unit as an easy upgrade for any vessel. The value coaxial utilises a white moulded sports grill, sealed components and salt-water resistant hardware. An illuminated variant is available with blue LED only.
The CELSUS team will be joined on booth 01.531 by KICKER Audio International sales managers David Glasgow and Aziz Masri alongside Director of International Sales Chet Weddle.
David Glasgow, International Sales Manager for KICKER Audio, adds
“We are delighted to support Celsus at METS and display some of our recently introduced speaker products. This event is a great chance for KICKER to meet with our European marine distributors and OEM’s to learn more about this important market”
