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-SB
■ Extends K1 LF for special extended (throw and contour) modes
■ Yields exceptional tonal balance homogeneity for long
throw
■ Increased K1 system coherence reducing need for stacked subwoofers
■ Laminar airflow vents for increased SPL and minimal
turbulence noise
■ High power handling, low distortion and thermal power compression |

Technology LACOUSTICS K1-SB
|
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.
