K-array FIRENZE KS7 All-encompassing self-powered subwoofer element

The K-array Firenze-KS7 is a powerful self-powered subwoofer best suited for high-power extended bass response applications in arenas, theaters, stadiums, concert halls, houses of worship and outdoor events.‎ The 2 x 21” loudspeakers feature neodymium magnets with 6” voice coils driven by powerful Class D amplifiers.‎ The large ports are designed to be fully symmetrical to the speakers, which means the back loading on the drivers is consistent and even with no port air turbulence.‎ The triangle port construction also provides excellent structural integrity and strength, effectively eliminating any box resonance.‎ The rear panel provides balanced analog and digital AES3 inputs and Ethernet connectivity for complete remote control over the fully-featured integrated DSP.‎ With the Firenze-KS7, gradient/cardioid configurations and end-fire arrangements are made easy with up to 2 seconds of input delay and frequency shaping.‎ Thanks to the input equalizer with three layers of 32 filters each (PEQ, Raised Cosine, Shelving), the Firenze-KS7 is an allencompassing subwoofer matching any system configuration, capable of being employed as a single point source or in an arch array subwoofer system.‎ Since the first line array systems appeared in the market back in the 90s, the live sound sector has taken great strides in advancing the sound quality, sound pressure levels and the ability to focus energy towards the listening areas.‎ However, the consequences for this evolving technology are larger systems and increased complexity thus adding more costs to move equipment around and set up.‎ With this in mind, K-array put years into research and development into the Firenze Series to create a state of the art system in terms of performance but at the same time, the most practical as possible in terms of portability, installation and management.‎ The Firenze Series, comprised of the Firenze-KH8, Firenze-KH7 and Firenze-KS8, is a set of powerful, top-of-the-line touring systems.‎  Boasting Electronic Beam Steering (EBS) capabilites, sound performance is optimized with the ability to precisely and independently control each element of the array eliminating noise pollution: the series is fully controlled by onboard DSPs for hyper-detailed beam steering and maximum operational flexibility.‎  Its unique EBS technology allows the user to direct the sound in a targeted area or provide continuous, even coverage.‎ Each unit is designed to be tilted on its own horizontal axis for exceptional SPL and throw capability.‎ And just by looking at the loudspeaker, it’s apparent the Firenze Series is a lightweight solution that integrates seamlessly thanks to its Slim Array Technology as it minimizes the cluster’s volume and allows maximum freedom on where the speakers are flown resulting in a wave front that has the desired curvature from a perfectly vertical cluster.‎ But the most significant benefit is that the compact design allows sound to exit instantaneously without resonance, generating a significant amount of sound pressure in the low and low-mid range which results in a better impulse response and maximum sound clarity and definition.‎ Slim and compact, these self-powered and weather resistant speakers offer unique solution to the touring audio market.‎ Further info from manufacturer on FIRENZE KS7 K-array
