L-Acoustics Kara II Line Array
L-Acoustics has introduced a new Kara line array, Kara II featuring new four-in-one directivity innovation.
17 January 2020
The new Kara II features Panflex which gives Kara four-in-one directivity, covering any and all audience geometry. The four different directivity patterns include: 70° or 110° symmetrical and 90° asymmetrical, steering to either the left or right. In its 70° configuration, Kara II packs a full 2dB more than in 110°.
For a decade, the Kara line source has been at the heart of numerous live performances and permanent installs across the globe. In a nod to the wide audience of Kara owners around the world, L-Acoustics will make available a kit to upgrade existing Kara with Panflex.
Florent Bernard, executive director of application design at L-Acoustics, explained: “Kara has been a perpetual best-seller for a reason. Its lightweight, diminutive form factor and strong, consistent SPL make it the perfect tool for a plethora of events or permanent installs. When we introduced Panflex to the industry, our clients told us this was the only thing missing from Kara. We listened, and the new Kara II brings our medium-format line array into a new era of added directivity and improved polar stability.”
