Kharma Butterfly System
Designed for those who demand a compact system alongside
incredible performance
For over 25 years Kharma is known for its craftsmanship, unmatchable audio quality, innovation
and design. This passion for the perfect music representation always has been realized in
elegant and high quality finished loudspeaker designs, but never before we reproduced this
refined audio quality in such a compact design.
Kharma proudly presents an unique combination of satellite speakers and a powerful subwoofer,
called the Kharma Butterfly system. Despite the compact design, this new system will amaze
many while listening to it for the first time. This as a result of many years of experience in the top
of the High-End audio market and months of engineering on each detail.
The Butterfly Satellite speakers will give a refined music representation, while the Butterfly
Subwoofer adds low bass to deliver an impressive experience. This true musical journey can
easily be integrated in any domestic environment, because we made it possible to have an
aesthetic stand option to place the Satellite speakers on the floor, any bookshelves or dressoir,
the wall or the ceiling. Adding pure audio and visual pleasure as a core value to your life.

Butterfly Speaker
Our goal was the creation of a fresh new lifestyle audio product. Because we believe a refined
music representation will enrich your life.
Overview
We have challenged nature to be able to create a Satellite speaker that sounds refined, but
accepts a modest sized cabinet. The backbone of the solution is the use of high-quality materials
and clever engineering. With a high-gloss painted finish, the aluminum enclosure realizes a
perfect match with amongst others the in-house developed composite cone used for the midrange
section.
Technical specifications
The combination of a Ribbon tweeter and a 3-inch Kharma Composite driver makes the Butterfly
Satellite a powerful but refined speaker. The amplification for these drivers has been provided in
the Butterfly Subwoofer.

Mounting Options: Stylish mounting solutions for every room
Each decorated room has its own unique style, acoustic properties and dimensional drawbacks,
but though there is always the strong desire to experience music in the room as it is intended. By
offering several stand options the Kharma Butterfly system easily blends in every living room,
suiting every desire of detailed sound representation.
Floorstand:
The Floorstand design makes it possible to have a
freestanding satellite speaker in your room. In this way
minimal soundwave diffractions will occur, which as a result
will give the best sound representation. The set-up can be
powered on easily by connecting the loudspeaker cables and
plugging in your favourite music source.

Dimensions:252 mm (W) x 270 mm (D) x 1083 mm (H)
Deskstand:
The easiest way to integrate quality audio in the living room is
placing the Butterfly Satellites on a deskstand. In this way the
speakers can be placed on for example the TV furniture, a
bookshelve or a dressoir.

A very subtile option to bring music in your room is the
wallmount option. By using a standard electrical pot as the
base for the mounting, the construction to be done is obvious.

music into your live.

Butterfly Subwoofer
As bass is essential to bring music alive, we’ve created a modest sized subwoofer that complies
with this need and at the same time has the intelligence and power to control the whole Butterfly
system.
Overview
As the Butterfly system is all about combining design and performance, we’ve hidden a lot of
technology in the Butterfly Subwoofer. The amplification for the Subwoofer and for up to four
Satellites is integrated in the aluminum enclosure of the Subwoofer. Moreover, 4 different modes
make it possible to adjust the performance to your needs. How you want to control your music is
all up to you. You have the freedom to plug in any volume controlled device like your mobile,
computer, pre-amplifier or streaming device, directly into the Subwoofer.

The truth is in the details
At Kharma we believe attention to detail creates the difference. This is heavily ratified by our
name Kharma, which in short means that each action has its consequence. Therefore the effort
put into each detail of the Butterfly system will have its effect in the sound representation.
Details of the Butterfly System:
•
•
•
•
Aluminum enclosure:
The enclosure of the satellite and the subwoofer are both completely constructed of
aluminum, making it rigid and durable.
Composite cone:
With Kharma speakers several times being awarded as the best in the world, we have
used the same know-how from our top line models in the creation of a composite cone
driven midrange unit for the satellites.
Different finishes:
Even though the major part of the Butterfly system is made of aluminium, it doesn’t seem
that way. By using a combination of high-gloss paint finish on the cabinets, polished
details and the right acoustic fabric, the right aesthetic balance has been found.
Freedom to aim:
Each satellite is provided with an uniquely shaped mounting element, which gives the
freedom to use one of the four different stand options as well the freedom to aim the
sound coming from your satellite to the desired location.
