Description
KILO is the Low Frequency extension of the KIVA line source array system.
Operating from 50 Hz the cabinet features a single 12’’ neodymium driver in a
dual-chamber bass-reflex tuned enclosure.
The KILO enclosure generates an omni-directional coverage pattern. The
addition of KILO elements within the line source array progressively polarizes
the vertical coverage towards the front of the system as more elements are
added (the horizontal directivity also increases due to natural dipole effects).
The 3-point captive rigging system allows for flying up to 12 KIVA and
4 KILO with inter-element angles from 0° to 15° in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Being entirely compatible with KIVA the
line source can be built with a combination of both cabinets utilizing the same
rigging components.
The KILO enclosure is driven by the dedicated L-ACOUSTICS® LA4 amplified
controller. The performance of a combined KIVA/KILO system depends upon
the choice of preset and physical system configuration.
