Italian professional audio manufacturer K‑array showcased new solutions for the residential market at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 in Barcelona, including the Koral KO102 highlighting its expanding portfolio for custom install professionals.
At the show K‑array presented the highly anticipated Koral KO102 column loudspeaker, the latest addition to its residential range. Koral is designed to deliver professional performance in visually sensitive spaces including home environments while maintaining a discreet aesthetic.
The KO102 features six 3‑inch mid‑frequency drivers and a dedicated high‑frequency unit in a sleek compact frame. An onboard switch allows integrators to select between two operating modes, Pure Array or Point Source, enabling the loudspeaker to perform effectively in a variety of acoustic settings.
In residential installations such as home cinemas Koral served as a centre channel when used horizontally and as left, right and surround channels in multichannel configurations. A range of fully weather‑rated finishes including bespoke RAL colours or premium metal treatments ensured Koral could be specified to suit a wide range of interiors.
K‑array also introduced KSCAPE CORE, an evolution of its RAIL ecosystem and an intelligent control system developed to simplify integration and management of audio and lighting within the KSCAPE range. RAIL combines lighting and audio controls in a single platform removing the need for third‑party workarounds. CORE’s flexibility was demonstrated by its multiple installation options, allowing it to be mounted directly onto the RAIL body using a dedicated bracket or deployed as a remote control unit connected by dedicated cabling. In residential settings CORE provided autonomous control over lighting scenes and audio experiences tailored to daily routines moods and special occasions.
Other highlights on the residential booth included the Dolomite full‑range loudspeaker system the award‑winning Lyzard range and the ultra‑flat Vyper series.
