Overview

K-array Tornado KT2 miniature sound source is a passive loudspeaker designed for high-quality distributed systems. Housed in a compact aluminum enclosure, the Tornado series is especially suitable for installations involving space limitations and visibility concerns. Tornados have flexible and easy-to-configure mounting options. With its ability to effortlessly reproduce both speech and music, it makes an excellent choice for fixed applications such as theatre, museum displays, restaurants, portable systems for corporate AV presentations, department stores, and in hidden locations such as chancel steps in houses of worship; the applications are endless.

The Tornados are a turn-key loudspeaker solution; designed as passive speakers, they can be easily converted into self-powered devices by inserting the KA1-T2 12V/24V amplifier module.

All Tornado models are also available in a 70V version that can be powered with up to 100 units by a single KA84 amplifier channel and up to 50 units by two bridged KA24 amplifier channels.

Tornados have a proprietary 2” high efficiency drive unit with a neodymium magnet structure and a suspension engineered for maximum linear excursion and minimum residual transducer interference. The cone transducer delivers an impressive maximum peak SPL of 107dB, and has a wide operating frequency range from 150 Hz to 18 kHz with very low distortion.

The KT2 and KT2W come with a wall bracket for fixed installations or surface applications. The KT2C and KT2CW come with a ceiling bracket for ceiling mounts.

All the components are designed in-house at our Florence based R&D department. They are custom manufactured to our exacting standards and quality control.
