The length of a line array is a crucial parameter to consider when approaching the design of a sound system. The longer the distance to cover, the longer should be the array. For maximum adaptability to any venue, our slim line arrays have modular capabilities: dedicated hardware allows the joining of more units to reach the desired length and guarantee a perfect coverage of the entire audience area.

K-array active loudspeakers are characterized by a small footprint and unparalleled performance. These discrete solutions provide high sound pressure level and pristine audio making them the ideal choice for both invisible sound reinforcement systems from our Installed Sound line and live events from our Portable Systems line.

For architectural reasons, a visually discreet audio system may be required to integrate seamlessly with the layout without compromising sound quality. We put careful thought into designing a sleek form factor taking into consideration shape, space and function, resulting in a delicate balance of durable materials and advanced technology.

We have the ability to customize your project by color matching your system to any RAL color to help you to better integrate the speakers into a wide variety of venues. RAL is used for defining standard colors for paint and coatings and is the most popular Central European color standard used today.

Similar to the process high-end fashion accessories and jewelry undergo, our products are treated with a galvanic bath for a more beautiful and lustrous look. The most opulent finish is a pure 24K gold coating. Other finishes include brushed or polished stainless steel finishes, for a chameleon-like ability to mirror surrounding surfaces and blend in with the background at any venue.

The most durable and resistant materials is used when developing our products to offer the most reliable solutions on the market: aluminum and steel make up the frame of all weather resistant speakers within the K-array portfolio.

Versatile and efficient, aluminum provides strong structural support without adding excess weight to the products. Naturally generating a protective oxide coating, aluminum is particularly useful for protection and conservation rendering a K-array installation dependable, regardless of the application elements.

Steel is the other functional material K-array implements, which offers corrosion resistance and strength. Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water making those products perfect for aquatic environments as well as traditional settings.

We have developed and refined a customized finishing for Marine applications. The finishing can resist bad weather and oxidation caused by salt water and protect our premium materials like stainless steel and aluminum. The internal components are specially treated to repel water. To avoid the pitting phenomenon we make the cataphoresis treatment before the powder coating, or ERGAL screws - a special aluminium alloy with mechanical characteristics.

Composed of closely-spaced, full-range sound sources, our line array elements feature demonstrate pure line array characteristics.

With no drivers dedicated to the high frequencies, no bass reflex or passive radiators dedicated to the low end, there are no crossover points and a perfect phase response is achieved in both the near and far fields.

All the sound sources in the array are identical and perfectly coupled producing a true line array with benefit of having the sound beam radiated by the column very wide on the horizontal plane and very narrow on the vertical plane. The amount of energy sent towards the ceiling and the floor is then minimized greatly improving the intelligibility in highly reverberant venues like houses of worship and conference rooms.

Furthermore, such a focused sound beam is able to cover a long distance uniformly: both the audience located in front of the array and at the back of the venue will experience the same tonal balance without the need of several delay lines.

With no horns and no waveguides, PAT columns can be joined to create longer arrays. The longer the array, the narrower the sound beam and the further the distance that can be covered uniformly.

Dedicated accessories aid in connecting the columns and tilting at an angle, while dedicated stacking and suspending hardware render the installation quick and easy.

Made from stainless steel with the possibility to customize the appearance with fine finishes and an endless spectrum of color choices, K-array’s discreet PAT columns meet the demands of architects, system integrators and rental companies alike who are looking for invisible systems that provide excellent audio quality in sleek form.

The directivity of many K-array solutions can be modified in order to optimize the coverage. Our column loudspeakers are equipped with a regulator with two coverage options: SPOT for very narrow sound beaming and FLOOD for wider coverage.

When connecting many loudspeakers in parallel to the same amplifier output channel, impedance matching is no more an issue! Selectable impedance lets the user to choose the right loudspeaker impedance value allowing to set the proper load and maximize performance.

This solution is EN54-24 Certified meaning that it complies with voice alarm regulations to guarantee proper intelligible audio from a public address system in the case of evacuation or public safety alerts.
