Technical description

K2 horizontal directivity settings

The K2 enclosure features an adjustable horizontal directivity system. Using the adjustable fins, horizontal directivity can

be adjusted with four different settings: 110° / 70° symmetric or 90° asymmetric (35°/55° or 55°/35°). A specific K2

preset must be used for each directivity setting.
Within a line source, different directivity settings can be combined to improve the coverage of the audience geometry.
