A wide variety of new product has recently been unveiled by the Karray Group from across three brands; K-array, KSCAPE and KGEAR. K-array products are available in the UK from 2B Heard.
Highlights include the new Mk I Lyzard miniature loudspeaker range from K-array; a new model of the RAIL all-in-one sound and lighting solution from KSCAPE; and several new products from KGEAR including new GF column loudspeakers and the new GM44 analogue audio matrix.
The new Mark I Lyzard loudspeakers from K-array marries premium audio with stunning design. Sporting a sleek miniaturised body, the result of exceptionally accurate aluminium millwork – Lyzards are designed for discreet use in a variety of intimate environments, such as retail, high-class restaurants, bars, museums and domestic settings too. No bigger than a chocolate bar, the mid-high micro-loudspeaker range comprising the Lyzard-KZ1 I and Lyzard-KZ14 I, is designed for the best sound experience with minimal visual impact, says the maker. The new magnetic snap on/off grille offers a
pure, minimalist aesthetic and makes installation easy, for applications that require the audio to be completely invisible, the KZ1R I and KZ14R I versions have been designed for flush mounting into walls and ceilings. A wide range of colours and metal finishes ensure that all Lyzard models blend seamlessly into any décor says their creator.
K-array’s minimalist Azimut systems – which include the new Mk I Lyzards – have been updated with the latest version of the Kommander KA02 I miniature DSP amplifier which offers all the
same functionality as its larger siblings and is fully DanteTM-ready. New plugins allow integration with all the major control systems including Crestron, Control4, Q-sys, and AMX.
New subwoofers: Rumble-KU315 & Thunder-KSC12P
K-array designs and builds some of the most compact, aesthetically pleasing subwoofers on the market, claims the maker. New additions to both the Rumble and Thunder ranges have recently been announced. With its shallow profile, the new Rumble-KU315 combines power and compactness, for applications where space and visual aesthetics are at a premium yet there is no room for compromise on sound quality. The largest of the Rumble range, Rumble-KU315 is suitable for outdoor as well as indoor installation, there is also a marine version for especially challenging environments.
Also new is the Thunder-KSC12P infra-subwoofer for boutique and home cinema applications. With its pared-down dimensions, Thunder-KSC12P offers even greater versatility for smaller spaces. Furthermore, both Rumble and Thunder are now Dolby ATMOS certified and feature in the DARDT Dolby ATMOS Room Design Tool.
