in your country.
The Vyper line consists of the aest speakers in the K-array
portfolio and are housed in an elegant and resistant 2-cm-deep
aluminum frame that features closely-spaced transducers
which boast Pure Array Technology.
With closely-spaced cone drivers, the Vyper line demonstrates
true line array characteristics: phase coherence, low distortion
and focused listening in both the near eld and at a distance
from the speaker. This Pure Array Technology allows the Vyper
to cover venues uniformly and provide long throw.
For easier use and integration with other speakers or ampliers,
the Vypers feature selectable impedance and when paired
with a subwoofer from the Rumble or True line and powered
by a Kommander amplier with specic presets optimized for
the Vyper, the loudspeaker assures excellent coverage of the
entire musical frequency range.
