Sennheiser has unveiled five new loudspeaker products from its distributed brand K-array: the KU36 ultra-slim subwoofer, the KTL22 and KTL22C compact speakers with integrated spotlights, the KZ10-4 Pack bundle, and the KA7-7 amplifier.
The KU36 subwoofer is designed to complement any K-array installation series speaker, including K-array’s KZ10 and KV50 line-array elements. The KU36 delivers a full-range frequency response (45Hz to 300Hz) along with a virtually invisible profile. Housed in steel, the rugged subwoofer is ideal for outdoor use and areas that are subject to the. It is also suitable for installation in churches, theaters, and clubs, according to the company. It is composed of a 2×6-inch neodymium transducer, combined with 2×6-inch passive transducers.
K-array’s new KTL22 and KTL22C ceiling-mounted loudspeakers with integrated spotlights are designed for use as architectural and display lighting in areas that also require sound reinforcement. The KTL22 features a solid aluminum chassis with an integral yoke bracket, while the KTL22C contains integrated hardware for recessed ceiling mounting. The speaker component is a single 30W 2-inch high-efficiency neodymium element with 32-ohm impedance. Up to eight KTL22s can be wired in parallel to a single channel of any of the KA series amplifiers. The lighting component consists of six RGB 2.5W LEDs. Color mix and intensity are programmable via a four-pin Phoenix connected to the K-CTRL DMX controller
K-array’s new KZ10-4 Pack bundle is a discreet, high-performance sound system in a convenient single package that includes two KZ10-4 4-ohm miniaturized line-array elements, a KU36 ultra-slim subwoofer, a KA1-1 lightweight power amplifier, and a basic cable kit. Just half an inch deep, the KZ10-4 delivers 92dB of continuous output. The system, which is housed in a rugged chassis enclosure, delivers long throw and coherent coverage, company officials said. Up to four KZ10s can be integrated to the KKS50 sub bass, extending the frequency range to 35Hz.
Finally, K-array’s new KA7-7 power amplifier is built into a 2U, half-rack, lightweight aluminum chassis. Comprising two or four output channels, the KA7-7 provides up to eight channels in a standard 2U rack space when mounted together. It features on-board DSP presets, each of which is specially optimized for K-array speaker systems. The new KA7-7 also features optical limiters and protection against high temperatures, overload, and short circuits, according to Sennheiser. The KA7-7 complements any K-array speaker system and is suitable for theatrical sound reinforcement, concert halls, clubs, houses of worship, museums, and stage monitoring, the company said.
