 LACOUSTICS K1



Product Code: K1


 

Overview
Inheriting 15 years of Wavefront Sculpture Technology experience and the latest L-ACOUSTICS® research, the K1 line source delivers an unprecedented level of performance for very large concert stadium applications and outdoor festival productions.

Packaged as a complete system for the touring market, K1 combines an advanced three-way, quad-amplified enclosure featuring a new K transducer arrangement, with boosted resources on the HF section. The K1 enclosure is typically combined with a dedicated LF extension (K1-SB) to offer an unprecedented level of directivity control and throw at low/sub frequencies. K1 sets a new benchmark of coherence and tonal balance control over distance.

K1 has been designed to seamlessly combine with KUDO® for complementary fills, delays and SB28 subwoofers, all driven by the LA-RAK universal electronic and signal distribution platform.

Features of LACOUSTICS K1

■ Exceptional SPL, LF and throw capability for stadium and outdoor applications
■ New K transducer configuration for smooth horizontal radiation pattern
■ State of the art rigging system for laser-like accuracy and quick set-up
■ Dedicated LA-RAK K touring system package with signal distribution and protection
■ New preset library for “out of the box” results and easy tuning

 

Technology LACOUSTICS K1
 

L-ACOUSTICS® pioneered the field of modern line source array as early as 1993 with the introduction of Wavefront Sculpture Technology on the legendary V-DOSC® system.

Based on physical rules developed by Heil and Urban (AES 1992) the WST® theory defines five criteria for design and use of true line source arrays. At the heart of Wavefront Sculpture Technology is the internationally-patented DOSC® waveguide, which morphs the spherical wavefront of the HF driver into a cylindrical, isophasic wave.

In combination with WST®, coplanar symmetry - the equivalent of coaxial assembly for HF, MF and LF drivers in vertical arrays - provides a coherent wavefront over the entire horizontal coverage at all frequencies. This behaves as if the sound was radiated by a single, continuous and articulated ribbon

Any line source featuring L-ACOUSTICS® elements respects the coplanar symmetry and all WST® criteria on the entire sonic spectrum. This allows an exceptionally coherent sonic signature in very long throw applications, beyond the limits of other systems.

L-ACOUSTICS® has been designing reference line array systems for more than 15 years.
