L-Acoustics KARA II Set

The L-Acoustics KARA II is an advanced, modular line array system designed to deliver precise and powerful sound reinforcement for a variety of applications, including live concerts, theater performances, and large-scale events. Building on the legacy of the original KARA system, KARA II introduces a series of performance-enhancing upgrades, most notably its Panflex technology. This feature allows the user to adjust the directivity pattern of the loudspeaker, enabling precise coverage control and reducing unwanted sound reflections in challenging acoustics. The system is versatile and highly scalable, allowing it to be used as a main PA or as a fill in larger systems.

At the heart of the KARA II’s design is its advanced transducer configuration, comprising two 8-inch drivers and a 3-inch compression driver. This configuration ensures a balanced, clear sound with detailed mids and extended highs, capable of delivering even the most complex mixes with exceptional fidelity. The system’s low-frequency extension is enhanced by coupling it with L-Acoustics’ SB18 or SB28 subwoofers, which allow for tight, impactful bass response across a wide range of frequencies. KARA II’s power efficiency and high SPL capabilities enable it to produce clear audio over long distances, making it particularly suitable for outdoor festivals and expansive indoor spaces.

Panflex, one of KARA II’s standout features, allows users to switch between four different coverage patterns: 70 degrees symmetric, 110 degrees symmetric, and 90 degrees asymmetric (left or right). This flexibility minimizes the need for additional fill speakers, ensuring precise audio coverage that adapts to the acoustic and architectural requirements of each venue. This adjustability reduces sound spillage outside the intended audience area and enhances overall sound clarity. Additionally, KARA II integrates seamlessly with the L-Acoustics Network Manager software, allowing for real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of the array configuration to suit the specific needs of each event.

The KARA II system is designed with ease of rigging and portability in mind. Its lightweight, compact form factor makes it straightforward to transport, assemble, and disassemble, ideal for touring professionals or event productions requiring frequent setup changes. The rigging system is user-friendly, and the enclosures are constructed from durable materials, ensuring that KARA II can withstand the demands of touring and long-term use in various weather conditions. When paired with L-Acoustics’ LA4X or LA12X amplified controllers, KARA II benefits from dedicated presets, optimizing its performance and ensuring consistent, high-quality sound.
