L-Acoustic Kara II
The L-Acoustics Kara II is the second generation of compact line array systems. It is the best in French audio engineering and the best in mid-size line array technology. This three-way active line array is based on L-Acoustics' WST Wavefront Sculpture Technology. It has two 8-inch Neodymium woofers, a 3.5-inch midrange driver, and an M1 tweeter compression driver.It can make a sound pressure output of up to 132 dB, which is amazing. The case is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and uses patented PANFLEX multi-angle configuration technology from France to make sure that medium- to large-scale venues get perfect coverage and natural sound quality.
It works great with the Soundvision 3D acoustic prediction software and the new LA-RAK II amplification and DSP processing system. This helps system engineers accurately guess how sound will travel in difficult spaces and make sure that every listener has the best sound experience possible. It has an IP55 rating, which means it works well in a lot of different performance settings around the world. The L-Acoustics Network Manager makes sure that the system is always being watched. Kara II is L-Acoustics' top-of-the-line compact line array, and it perfectly captures the essence of French acoustic art for the best performances in the world.
