POINT CLAIRE, QUEBEC, CANADA/OLD LYME, CONNECTICUT, USA: Sennheiser has signed an exclusive distribution agreement for North America with K-Array, a PA loudspeaker and amplifier manufacturer based in Florence, Italy. K-Array’s light and intelligible speaker technology is best exemplified by the new KH4 self-powered, two-way, flat panel line array.

K-Array’s ultra-compact and powerful flagship KH4 delivers consistent, high-quality audio in long throw applications. Weighing less than 104 lbs. and measuring 44 inches wide by 24 inches high and just 6.3 inches deep, the system can produce 145 dB SPL. The vertical coverage pattern is variable between seven and thirty-seven degrees, with a 120-degree horizontal coverage pattern. The KS4 self-powered, dipole subwoofer is just 6.3 inches in depth and weighs 82 lbs. An internal DSP module controls the KH4 mid/high pack and the KS4 subwoofer. The speakers may be computer controlled remotely using dedicated PC software.

Vaino Gennaro, business director for live sound products at Sennheiser Canada says, “We are excited to bring this innovative technology to North America. The technology, design, and sound quality of K-Array have generated a big buzz in Europe and the Middle East. The depth of the line and the crossover into various markets makes K-Array an extremely attractive brand. It will change the production standards of the live entertainment industry.”

Sennheiser Electronic Corporation, located in The United States is thrilled to add K-array to their portfolio. Dawn Birr, SEC’s product manager for K-array says, “K-array is lighter and smaller than traditional speaker arrays.
