PHYSICAL
• Compact Virtual Array™ three-way system
• Vented, LF horn-loaded MF/HF (60° x 45° coverage pattern)
• 15-in LF,10-in MF, 3-in voice coil/1.4-in exit HF
• Switchable powering: Tri-amp or Bi-amp
(passive LF/MF)
• For portable use or permanent installation
A 3-way full range system in a vented trapezoidal enclosure.
Includes a 15-in woofer, vented, a horn-loaded 10-in
midrange cone and a 1.4-in exit compression driver on a 60°
x 45° constant directivity horn. Powering mode is switchable:
bi-amplified (passive LF/MF crossover) or tri-amplified.
The KF650z Virtual Array™ system’s true 3-way design dra-
matically improves the quality of vocal reproduction while its
cone-driven midrange horn extends pattern control into the
lower octaves. Universal suspension hardware (flytrack with
integral 3/8"-16 mounting point) supports permanent or
portable applications. Six year warranty.
Applications include:
Concert Tours
Band PA Ballroom Events
Corporate Events Convention Centers
Large Houses of Worship Live Music Club

The three-way full range loudspeaker system shall incorporate
a 15-in LF transducer, a 10-in cone MF transducer and a 1.4-
in exit compression driver HF transducer.
The LF driver shall be mounted in a vented enclosure tuned
optimum low frequency response. The MF driver shall be
loaded into a midrange horn constructed of 1/8-in birch ply-
wood reinforced with high density polyurethane foam. The MF
horn shall incorporate a phase/displacement plug. The HF
driver shall be loaded on a constant directivity horn with a
nominal coverage pattern of 60°(h) x 45°(v). An internal
passive filter network shall provide system equalization and
fourth order acoustical crossover between the low and mid
frequency sections in bi-amped mode .
System frequency response shall vary no more than ±3 dB
from 65 Hz to 17 kHz measured on axis. In bi-amped mode,
the low/mid section shall produce a Sound Pressure Level
(SPL) of 100 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of
1 Watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of
134.5 SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 700 Watts of
amplifier power (continuous) and shall have a nominal
impedance of 8 Ohms. The HF section shall produce a Sound
Pressure Level (SPL) of 110 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a
power input of 1 Watt, and shall be capable of producing a
peak output of 138 SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 160
Watts of amplifier power (continuous) and shall have a nom-
inal impedance of 8 Ohms.
In tri-amped mode, the low frequency and high frequency sec-
tions shall meet all bi-amped mode performance criteria. In
addition, the midrange frequency section in tri-amped mode
shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 109 dB SPL on
axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall be
capable of producing a peak output of 141 SPL on axis at 1
meter. It shall handle 400 Watts of amplifier power (continu-
ous) and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms.
The loudspeaker enclosure shall be trapezoidal in shape. It
shall be constructed of multi-ply, void-free cross-grain-lami-
nated Baltic birch plywood and shall employ extensive inter-
nal bracing. It shall be finished in wear-resistant textured
black paint. Input connectors shall be 2x Neutrik NL4
Speakon and 2x Neutrik NL8 Speakon. The system shall
include a switch allowing it to be operated in bi-amp or tri-
amp powering mode. A total of six 3-position flytracks with
integral 3/8"-16 threaded mounting point (3 each top and
bottom) shall be provided. The front of the loudspeaker shall
be covered with a powder coated perforated steel grille
backed with open cell foam to protect against dust.
The three-way full range loudspeaker shall be the EAW model
KF650z.
