PHYSICAL

• Compact Virtual Array™ three-way system

• Vented , LF horn-load ed MF/HF (60° x 45° coverage pattern)

• 15-in LF,10-in MF, 3-in voice coil/1.4-in exit HF

• Switchable powering: Tri-amp or Bi-amp (passive LF/MF)

• For portable use or permanent installation

A 3-way full range system in a vented trapezoidal enclosure. Includes a 15-in woofer, vented, a horn-loaded 10-in midrange cone and a 1.4-in exit compression driver on a 60° x 45° constant directivity horn. Powering m od e is switchable: bi-amplified (passive LF/MF crossover) or tri-amplified.

The KF650z Virtual Array™ system’s true 3-way design dramatically improves the quality of vocal reproduction while its cone-driven midrange horn extends pattern control into the lower octaves. Universal suspension hardware (flytrack with integral 3/8"-16 mounting point) supports permanent or portable applications. Six year warranty.

Applications include:

Concert Tours Band PA Ballroom Events Corporate Events Convention Centers Large Houses of Worship Live Music Club

The three-way full ran g e lou dspeak er system shall incorporate a 15-in LF transducer, a 10-in cone MF transducer and a 1.4in exit compression driver HF transducer.

The LF driver shall be mounted in a vented enclosure tuned optimum low frequency response. The MF driver shall be loaded into a midrange horn constructed of 1/8-in birch plywood reinforced with hi gh d ensity polyur ethan e f oam. Th e MF horn shall incorporate a phase/displacement plug. The HF driver shall be loaded on a constant directivity horn with a nominal coverage pattern of 60° (h) x 45° (v). An internal passive filter network shall provide system equalization and fourth order acoustical crossover between the low and mid frequency sections in bi-amped mode .

System frequency response shall vary no more than ±3 dB from 65 Hz to 17 kHz measured on axis. In bi-amped mode, the low/mid section shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 100 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of

134.5 SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 700 Watts of amplifier power (continuous) and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms. The HF section shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 110 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of 138 SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall han dle 160 Watts of amplifier power (continuous) and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms.

In tri-amped mode , the low frequen cy and hi gh frequen cy sections shall meet all bi-amped mode performance criteria. In addition, the midrange frequency section in tri-amped mode shall produce a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 109 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall be capable of producing a peak output of 141 SPL on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 400 Watts of amplifier power (continuous) and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms.

The loudspeaker enclosure shall be trapezoidal in shape. It shall be constructed of multi-ply, void-free cross-grain-laminated Baltic birch plywood and shall employ extensive internal bracing. It shall be finished in wear-resistant textured black paint. Input connectors shall be 2x Neutrik NL4 Speakon and 2x Neutrik NL8 Speakon. The system shall include a switch allowing it to be operated in bi-amp or triamp powering mode. A total of six 3-position flytracks with integral 3/8"-16 threaded mounting point (3 each top and bottom) shall be provided. The front of the loudspeaker shall be covered with a powder coated perforated steel grille backed with open cell foam to protect against dust.

The three-way full range loudspeaker shall be the EAW model KF650z.
