Loudspeaker congurations

Line source

Deployed as a line source, the system operates over the nominal bandwidth of the K2 enclosure, with an adjustable

horizontal directivity.
Two congurations are possible:

— K2 line source
— K2/K1-SB line source: enhanced LF throw

The [K2 70], [K2 90] and [K2 110] presets allow for a reference frequency response in long throw applications. Each

preset is dedicated to a horizontal directivity setting.
By providing the K1-SB with the same frequency response as the K2 low section, the [K1SB_X K2] preset allows the K1-SB

enclosure to be used as an LF line source element, increasing the length of the sub-low line source.
The K2 enclosures are driven by the LA4X / LA12X amplied controllers.
The K1-SB enclosures are driven by the LA12X amplied controller.
