operation. An L-ACOUSTICS

®

 loudspeaker system is the set of components available to form any loudspeaker system 

based  on  one  of  the  full-range  loudspeaker  enclosure  afforded  by  L-ACOUSTICS

®

.  It  includes  enclosures,  rigging 

accessories, loudspeaker cables, amplified controllers, and software applications.  
The rigging components of the KIVA system are the following:
