In the world of professional AV installations, delivering outstanding audio is only part of the equation. A successful project depends equally on the ease of design, efficiency of setup, user-friendliness, and long-term manageability. That’s where K-array’s comprehensive suite of software shines, streamlining every phase of an install from design to configuration and everyday use. Whether you’re a system designer, installer, integrator or end user, K-array has built a set of intuitive, interconnected tools that enhance not only the performance of its systems, but the overall project workflow. K-array delivers cutting edge installation products and its software brings out the best in every space, from hotels, restaurants and luxury residences, to theme parks, corporate offices and houses of worship.
Designing with K-Framework 3
At the heart of the suite is K-Framework 3, the cornerstone for system designers. It lets system designers simulate the acoustics of a space in 3D, ensuring the right K-array loudspeakers are selected, correctly positioned and matched with the right amplifiers. K-Framework 3 performs precise SPL mapping, frequency response analysis, reverberation time calculations and STI (Speech Transmission Index) predictions, all within a single environment.
For installations requiring pinpoint directivity, it supports Electronic Beam Steering, available in select K-array products, enabling better intelligibility and coverage inacoustically challenging spaces. More than a design tool, it’s a way to reduce installation risks, meet client expectations more confidently, and streamline communication between designer and integrator.
Installation and Tuning
Moving from blueprint to build, K-Framework 3 continues to play a vital role. It connects directly to K-array amplifiers over the network, identifying connected devices and loading the correct presets based on the project file. The Network page makes discovering and linking devices quick and painless. You can tune the system, making real-time adjustments, to ensure the system performs exactly as modelled.
Where installers don’t need all the features of K-Framework, K-array’s integrated Web App offers a powerful interface to control amplifiers from any browser. It handles everything from preset management and routing to multi-zone control, EQ, scheduling, and even playback from built-in media players. No special software, just open a browser and go. Meanwhile, the K-Connect app adds further convenience by helping installers and technicians instantly locate and identify K-array devices on the network, saving time and eliminating setup guesswork.
Day-to-Day Use
Once the installation is live, day-to-day control needs to be simple and seamless, especially as most end users aren’t audio professionals. K-Control is a smartphone and tablet app designed for intuitive, user-friendly control of the entire audio system. It’s ideal for managing volume levels, source selection, and zone control, all via a custom-built interface tailored to the specific installation. It puts the power of pro audio directly into the hands of the user. For advanced control, K-array systems integrate natively with major third-party platforms. Whether you're working with Crestron, Crestron Home, Control4, Q-SYS or other systems, dedicated plugins and open APIs (HTTP REST and OSC) ensure seamless integration.
Remote Monitoring and Support
Remote management is also essential to ensure reliable operation. K-array’s K-Cloud provides secure, real-time access to devices from anywhere, allowing installers and integrators to make adjustments, monitor performance, and intervene, without an on-site visit. Whether you're servicing a hospitality venue or maintaining a network of retail outlets, K-Cloud offers the assurance of control even when you're off-site.
Diagnostics and Long-Term Support
For system administrators and technical support teams, K-Monitor provides a robust diagnostic and troubleshooting environment. It checks both software and hardware, performs system diagnosis, and lets you push firmware and OS updates. This level of insight ensures long-term reliability and reduces downtime.
A Software Ecosystem Built for Integration
What sets K-array’s software suite apart is its ecosystem mindset. Each tool is purpose-built for a particular stage of the project or a different kind of user, yet they all interconnect seamlessly. From the designer using K-Framework 3, to the installer configuring zones via the Web App, to the venue manager adjusting levels with K-Control, everyone works from a common platform. And for those new to K-array, their K-Academy offers in-depth tutorials, videos, and documentation to bring you up to speed—whether you're specifying your first system or fine-tuning your fiftieth.
K-array’s software is a professional toolkit that supports every stage of an installation. By combining advanced acoustic modelling, flexible setup tools, seamless control integration and remote management, it allows AV professionals to deliver exceptional sound with confidence and clarity.
