K-array is the new voice that sings aloud, "outside
the chorus", and whose performance is better than
any other products. Born on-the-road, in the PA
world, where you get no discount, you have to give
your best as fast as you can, often with a
"compressed" budget, K-Array systems have been
designed to give precise answers to precise
needs. K-Array systems are driven by new
generation digital engines, with
power/dimension/weight ratios that are ten
times better than any other professional
products; these systems can be remotely
controlled and come with a lot of on-board
software. K-array systems can shape their
performance following your taste and
needs. Inside K-array systems you will
find something that only K-array can
offer: the best in technology, proudly
conceived, designed and produced in
Italy. If they were cars, they would be
Ferrari. Don't agree to pay for a
simple brand, claim performance,
and don't believe those who
maintain that these products are
only for few people, the only truth
is that K-array systems are
unique, but affordable and within
everybody's reach!

The loudspeaker is a very
compact, 3d array loudspeaker element. In
contrast to conventional low power 70-volt
transformer based systems, the
connects directly to the amplifier and is capable of
producing high sound pressure levels while dramatically
reducing distortion and easing installation requirements. It
employs sophisticated 2” transducers capable to reproduce
with a very low distortion a really wide range of frequencies
with a considerable value of sensitivity. Thanks to their small
dimensions the distances between emitting sources are very
reduced, this produces a very coherent emission with almost no
phase problems, in comparison with standard systems. The
devices that are the best choice to make perfect sound
reinforcement of almost any kind of environment. The possibility
to perform 3D-arrays with almost no phase problem allows to
create a coherent wave front that can perfectly cover the venue
with constant pressure and equalization, reducing drastically
undesired ambient reflections. A lot of accessories are
available to install in the easiest and fastest way any
devices both in temporary and in permanent
installations.

16. TECHNICAL DATA
New materials and design are introduced into existing products without previous notice.
Present systems may differ in some respects from those presented in this brochure.
Notes for data
1. Power handling is measured following AES standard conditions: transducers driven continuously for two hours with a band-limited noise
signal having 6 dB of crest factor.
2. Max power is the maximum RMS applicable power for a musical signal, the referement signal is the one proposed by EIAJ standard.
3. Recommended maximum operating frequency range. Response depends on loading conditions and room acoustics.
4. Free field measured with 1/3 octave frequency resolution at 2 mt.
5. Measured@4 mt then scaled@1 mt.
6. Measured with audio source @1 mt.
7. This is the frequency in which the transducers produce the same sound pressure level (measured@2 mt).
8. Amplifier wattage rating is based on the maximum unclipped burst sine wave RMS voltage that the amplifier will produce into the nominal
load impedance .
