L-Acoustics KARA-IIi 2-Way Active Variable Curvature WST Enclosure - 8 Inch LF / 3 Inch HF - Install
Install-specific 2-way active enclosure with two weather-resistant premium 8 in transducers and high-output 3 in diaphragm compression driver coupled to a cylindrical waveguide with user-adjustable horizontal directivity and 10° of vertical coverage. The enclosure cabinet is constructed of premium grade Baltic beech and birch plywood. The enclosure front is protected by a coated steel grill and an acoustically transparent fabric. The enclosure integrates inserts for flush-fitting connecting plates and an optional acoustically transparent front screen. The four-point hardware allows for rigging and combining with other loudspeakers of the same family to achieve a coherent wavefront line source. The line source directivity depends upon the number of elements and inter-element angles and can be matched to the audience geometry. Exclusively driven and protected by a proprietary amplified controller through a dedicated preset.
Features:
- Best-in-class SPL per weight and footprint
