KP52/KP102

1. INTRODUCTION

The K-array Pythons are passive speaker systems, comprised of 3.15” neodymium magnet transducers housed in an elegant

and sturdy stainless steel chassis. Available in two lengths, the KP52 features 8 drivers in a 0.5 m (19.7”) chassis, and the

KP102 features 16 drivers in a 1 m (39.4”) chassis. The Kobras’ closely spaced cone drivers provide phase coherence, low

distortion and focused listening both up close and at a distance.

To accommodate a range of applications, the vertical dispersion pattern can be switched for either wide or narrow coverage.

Optional rigging and linking accessories allow multiple speakers to be interconnected, creating a wide array of vertical and

horizontal configurations for temporary or permanent installation.

For integration with other speakers or amplifiers, the KP52 and KP102 offer selectable impedance (8Ω / 32Ω for the KP52 and

4Ω / 16Ω for the KP102). Set to 32Ω, up to eight KP52s can be powered via a single amplifier channel, simplifying installation

of wider distributed installed systems.

Pythons are able to reproduce the entire vocal frequency range with excellent intelligibility, starting from 150 Hz. Integrating

powered subwoofers from K-array’s Redline series (KMT12, KMT18, KMT21) ensures excellent coverage of the entire musical

frequency range. K-array’s KA amplifier series also features custom presets, optimized for use with the Phython series.

All Python components are designed by K-array and custom-made under K-array’s quality control system.
