The system approach developed by L-ACOUSTICS

®

 consists in offering a global solution that guarantee the highest and 

most  predictable  level  of  performance  at  any  step  of  loudspeaker  system  deployment:  modeling,  installation,  and 
operation.  A  complete  L-ACOUSTICS

®

  system  includes  enclosures,  amplified  controllers,  cables,  rigging  system  and 

software applications.  
 
The main components of a 

KIVA KILO SYSTEM

 are the following: 

 

2.1

 

Loudspeaker enclosures 

KIVA 

Full-range (80 Hz – 20 kHz),

 

2-way passive, variable curvature WST

®

  

 

 

KILO 

Dedicated subwoofer (down to 50 Hz) 

 

 

SB18 

Subwoofer (down to 32 Hz) 

 

 

Loudspeaker system design 

Sound  design  aspects  are  beyond  the  scope  of  this  document.  However,  the  various  applications  of  the 
system will be based on the operating modes presented in this document. 

 
 

2.2

 

Powering and driving system 

LA4 

Amplified controller with DSP library and networking capabilities 

 

 

Operating instructions
