1. INTRODUCTION
The K-array Pythons are passive speaker systems, comprised of 3.15” neodymium magnet transducers housed in an elegant
and sturdy stainless steel chassis. Available in two lengths, the KP52 features 8 drivers in a 0.5 m (19.7”) chassis, and the
KP102 features 16 drivers in a 1 m (39.4”) chassis. The Kobras’ 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 KP52 and KP102 offer selectable impedance (8Ω / 32Ω for the KP52 and
4Ω / 16Ω for the KP102). Set to 32Ω, up to eight KP52s can be powered via a single amplifier channel, simplifying installation
of wider distributed installed systems.
Pythons 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 Phython series.
All Python components are designed by K-array and custom-made under K-array’s quality control system.
