1. INTRODUCTION
The K-array Kobras are passive speaker systems, comprised of 2” neodymium magnet transducers housed
in an elegant and sturdy stainless steel chassis. Available in two lengths, the KK52 features 8 drivers in a 0.5
m (19.7”), while the KK102 features 16 drivers a 1 m (39.4”) chassis. The vertical dispersion pattern can be
switched for wide or narrow coverage, allowing for a great variety of applications. The Kobra’s 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 KK52 and KK102 offer selectable impedance (16Ω/64Ω
for the KK52 and 8Ω/32Ω for the KK102). Set to 64Ω up to eight KK52s can be powered via a single amplifier
channel, simplifying installation of wider distributed installed systems.
Kobras 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 Kobra series.
All Kobra components are designed by K-array and custom-made under K-array’s quality control system.
