Firenze Electronic beam steerable, state-of-the-art touring systems

K-array has put years into research and development into the Firenze Series to create a state-of-the-art system in terms of performance but at the same time, the most practical as possible in terms of portability, installation and management.

The Firenze Series, comprised of the Firenze-KH8, Firenze-KH7 and Firenze-KS8, is a set of powerful, top-ofthe-line touring systems. Boasting Electronic Beam Steering (EBS) capabilites, sound performance is optimized with the ability to precisely and independently control each element of the array eliminating noise pollution: the series is fully controlled by onboard DSPs for hyper-detailed beam steering and maximum operational flexibility.

Its unique EBS technology allows the user to direct the sound in a targeted area or provide continuous, even coverage. Each unit is designed to be tilted on its own horizontal axis for exceptional SPL and throw capability.

And just by looking at the loudspeaker, it’s apparent the Firenze Series is a lightweight solution that integrates seamlessly thanks to its Slim Array Technology as it minimizes the cluster’s volume and allows maximum freedom on where the speakers are flown resulting in a wave front that has the desired curvature from a perfectly vertical cluster. But the most significant benefit is that the compact design allows sound to exit instantaneously without resonance, generating a significant amount of sound pressure in the low and low-mid range which results in a better impulse response and maximum sound clarity and definition.

Slim and compact, these self-powered and weather resistant speakers offer a unique solution to the touring audio market.

Mugello Electronic beam steerable, powered line array speakers

Boasting design elements made in the heart of Tuscany, the Mugello line is our flagship series. With incredibly flat boxes, it’s apparent the KH2, KH3 and KH5 are lightweight solutions that saves space along with transportation costs. But the biggest takeaways are their impressive power, intelligible control and high quality.

Mugello’s compact design allows sound to exit instantaneously without resonance, generating a significant amount of sound pressure in the low and low-mid range which results in a better impulse response and maximum clarity and definition. In fact, the Mugello line measures up to the highest standards in the pro audio live sound market, both in sound and quality, by procuring an exceptional peak output and improves upon traditional loudspeakers by virtue of our Slim Array Technology which produces a dispersion in a hyper-cardiod figure which maintains the desired directivity with low back emission and minimal side dispersion keeping the stage clean from sound pollution and preventing easy feedback when sensitive microphones are used on the stage.

The Electronic Beam Steering capabilities of the line array allows the user to direct the sound beam to concentrate the audio in a targeted area or provide continuous, even coverage in a straight configuration without a banana curvature. Results are maximized with the ability to precisely and independently control each Mugello line array element eliminating noise pollution.

The KH2, KH3 and KH5, all Dante compatible, together with the with the self-powered KS5 subwoofer, are best suited for high-powered extended bass response applications in arenas, theaters, stadiums, concert halls and outdoor events.

Thunder Ultra-light, high power subwoofers

Our Thunder line gives you all the boom with bass you need for installation applications. With both passive and active models in various sizes starting from 12” to 21” and dual 18”, the Thunder line is a high performance sub-bass system featuring a woofer with magnet structure and suspension engineered for maximum linear excursion.

The subwoofers – KMT12P, KMT12, KMT18P, KMT18, KMT21P KMT21, KMT218 and KMT218P – contain a unique four-corner port configuration which provides symmetrical back loading to the speakers for extended bass response with very low distortion and provides incredible structural strength to the cabinet despite its light weight.

Pocket handles and an M20 thread mount position for attaching mid-high speakers make the subwoofers convenient to use and ideal for applications in theaters, concert halls, and restaurant installations.

More than just powered subwoofers, our active models depart from traditional subs in that their “smart” design puts electronics as the central component, transforming the mid-low frequency loudspeaker into a proper tool for the management and processing of the audio signal. These multi-tasking subwoofers include an integrated touch screen providing intuitive control over the main DSP functions, two balanced analog line level inputs and a two-channel AES/EBU digital input, and an onboard Class D amplifier. It’s possible to connect a wide array of passive speakers including mid-high models or additional passive subwoofers.

To optimize performance, the onboard DSP includes up to 40 programmable presets. The first 8 have been designed by K-array, the additional 32 slots can be used to create, save, and store personal presets using the K-framework software. And with the K-dante accessory, the subwoofers are able to connect to the Dante network for audio and data transmissions.

Dragon 12” coaxial passive stainless steel array element

Designed to be unique like all K-array products, the Dragon is a radical interpretation of a traditional coaxial 12” speaker.

When high pressure is needed in the foreground with a rapid depreciation once distanced from the source, the Dragon is a powerful point source that can meet this demand to become one of the most useful tools for an installer.

An adjustable 100° by 30° horn that is easily rotatable gives to the speaker an added value providing two modes of coverage to choose from to meet the needs of different installations. Additionally, dedicated accessories assist in the setup of joining, flying and stacking the speaker, making it a perfect line array component.

Its steel chassis offers maximum rigidity in a minimum size and the Dragon is compatible with all our Thunder subwoofers.

Axle Multi-use, high pressure portable systems

By combining the Dragon loudspeaker with active K-array subwoofers, the three portable systems in the Axle line are created: KRX202, KRX402, and KRX802. As sound on-the-go, the Axle line is the perfect solution for touring DJs, multi-purpose lounges and clubs; basically, anywhere a lot of pressure is needed in the near field.

The Dragon tops of the system feature an asymmetric horn with variable orientation that allow the user to adjust the emission angle simply by rotating the horn. In one position the sound dispersion pattern is wide (FLOOD - 100째) in the horizontal plane and narrow (SPOT - 30째) in the vertical plane. In the other position the sound dispersion pattern is narrow (SPOT - 30째) in the horizontal plane and wide (FLOOD - 100째) in the vertical plane.

And the self-powered Thunder subs maintain the same digital editing features of all our active subwoofers such as an integrated touch screen that provides intuitive control over the main DSP functions, such as input/output levels, signal routing, offset delays for subwoofer and mid-high speaker output (up to 12 ms each) and overall system delays (up to 330 ms). All DSP functions of the systems, including EQ, can also be controlled remotely via software through USB or RS485 (3 pin XLR). With the K-dante accessory, the Axle can connect with a Dante network.

All systems can be flown or stacked with dedicated accessories like an extendable pole or brackets for hanging.

The easily-adjustable fixed angles and modular capabilities allow for various arrangements of setup.
