Despite its ultra-compact format, the Kiva II features the L-Acoustics Wavefront Sculpture Technology (WST), giving it a long throw capability and allowing even SPL from the front to the back of the audience. Its coplanar transducer arrangement and new K-shaped coplanar transducer configuration generates a symmetric horizontal coverage of 100° without secondary lobes over the entire frequency range.
The Kiva II will be on display during Infocomm16 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre at L-Acoustics booth number C12116 from 8-10 June, 2016.
"This new Kiva II keeps the elegance of its predecessor but that's where the comparison ends," explains Cédric Montrezor, director of application, installation at L-Acoustics. "Delivering an extra 6db, the new model offers an impressive peak SPL of 137db. With only a '1.5db' price increase, kiva ii is now the SPL-to-size ratio benchmark in its format category.
"Beside the whopping SPL, we also bring reinforced weather resistance, a rigging visual safety check, and new rigging accessories to expand the range of applications."
