Line source with low-frequency element 

Deployed as a line source with coupled K1-SB subwoofers, a K2 system operates with augmented LF resources.  
Two configurations are available:  

 

LF throw: for enhanced LF projection. 

 

LF contour: for reinforced LF contour. 

4.2.1

 

LF throw 

In this configuration the LF throw capability is enhanced

.

 

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. 
The [K1SB_X K2] preset provides the K1-SB enclosure with the same bandwidth as the K2 low section to increase the 
length of the sub-low line source.  
The K2 enclosures are driven by the LA4X or LA8

 

amplified controller. 

The K1-SB enclosures are driven by the LA8

 

amplified controller.
