Kudos Audio TITAN 505

Whilst the Titan 505 looks a little different to the rest of the series, it delivers just as much breathtaking design and musicality as its bigger floorstanding counterparts. The Titan 505 is the smaller sister-speaker to the Titan 606 - offering the same musical performance and sonic clarity as its floorstanding sibling - in a more compact, stand-mounted cabinet. The Titan 505 is the ideal place for serious bookshelf loudspeaker enthusiasts to begin listening with Kudos, whilst introducing Titan-quality design and engineering into their system setup.

EXCEPTIONAL, CUSTOM-MADE DRIVERS

The Titan series features drive units crafted exclusively for Kudos by world-leading specialists SEAS. All four Titans share the same superb K3 tweeter, a version of a legendary SEAS unit specially re-engineered to tailor its capabilities for the Titans. The 505’s use a custom 180mm mid-bass unit with a die-cast chassis with large open areas, a coated paper cone and a 39mm voice coil designed for low-distortion, high linearity and low crossover modulation.

All drivers are precisely matched and aligned to work together seamlessly, delivering an effortless ‘just right’ sound. When you hear it, you’ll know it.

LOW-ORDER CROSSOVERS AND MINIMAL DESIGN FOR PURER SOUND

The purer the signal, the truer the sound. A Kudos loudspeaker preserves a clean and clear audio signal by favouring a minimal design with our trademark, low-order crossover. The Titan series’ superior quality components are tailored specifically for Kudos to stringent tolerances. They include Mundorf’s MResist Supreme resistors and air-core inductors, and ClarityCap’s unique CopperConnect technology capacitors.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The best designs are a marriage of form and function. The Titans’ modernist design blends effortlessly into the contemporary home. Concealed within, however, is a highly complex system of differential panel resonance control. While keeping a rigorously tight grip on any and all unwanted vibrations, this smart system gives full and free rein to the natural dynamics of your music.

ISOBARIC WITH FIXED BOUNDARY LOADING

Bass is key to how we hear music, so our Titan series goes above and beyond in ensuring superior sound at the all-important lower end. The Titan 505’s isobaric and bass reflex loading is cleverly engineered to deliver a more agile, nuanced, textured and detailed bass reproduction.

ACTIVE CONFIGURATION (UPGRADEABLE)

The Titan series is configured for simple bypass of the internal crossover, enabling seamless active operation when partnered with the new Kudos SIGAO DRIVE and virtually any amplifier brand you choose. Active operation opens up a wider upgrade path and unlocks a variety of performance and personalisation-enhancing capabilities.
