Applications
The KS28 is deployed in large-scale touring, outdoor festivals, and stadium-scale installations requiring maximum low-frequency output and extension. It operates in standard omnidirectional or cardioid configurations. Cardioid mode reduces stage-side energy and improves audience-facing uniformity. The integrated 2-point rigging and flush-fitting design allow efficient ground stacking or flying in multi-cabinet arrays.
