L-Acoustics KIVA II Passive Line Array Speaker

Part of the K Series, Kiva II is an ultra-compact modular line source system that can be deployed standalone or with its companion subwoofer SB15m. Assembled as a variable curvature line source with outstanding SPL for its format,

Kiva II is ideal for applications that require clear vocal reinforcement and minimal visual impact such as theatrical acts, congregations, orchestral music or corporate and special events.

The coplanar transducer arrangement on the new K-shaped front grill combines with L-Fins produces a consistent 100° symmetric horizontal dispersion with smooth tonal response free of secondary lobes over the entire frequency range.

The minimalist proportions allow Kiva II to achieve inter-element angles up to 15°, ensuring wide and precise vertical coverage with few elements. Kiva II impedance of 16 ohms maximizes enclosure density per amplified controller.

On its own Kiva II can be used as a main system for vocal reinforcement or as a complement to large sound systems in fill and delay applications. Associated with its companion subwoofer SB15m, Kiva II modular system can accommodate musical program material with extended bandwidth and contour.

• High Performance/Size Ratio: Features two 6.5″ neodymium LF drivers and a 1.75″ diaphragm compression driver, delivering high SPL from a very small enclosure. 
• Constant Curvature Technology: Employs Wavefront Sculpture Technology (WST) and a coplanar transducer arrangement to provide even coverage, with up to 15° inter-element vertical flexibility.
• Design & Flexibility: Known for its elegant, discreet, and "slim" design suitable for venues where aesthetic integration is critical, such as performing arts centers, theater, and corporate events. 
• Reinforced Durability: Constructed with a rugged, advanced composite material and features IP55 protection against environmental elements. 
• Simple Rigging
