Vyper-KV52FR II
The Vyper-KV52FR II is an ultra-flat passive loudspeaker from K-Array, housing eight 1-inch neodymium magnet transducers in an aluminium chassis designed specifically for recessed in-wall installation. Like the KV52F II, it uses electronically processed signals to produce a 60-degree vertical dispersion, and its complete frame and clamp system enables flush mounting without visible hardware.

The recessed format suits home cinema centre-channel positions, architectural interiors, hospitality venues, and premium residential projects where exposed speakers are not acceptable. The 60-degree vertical dispersion covers seated and standing listeners across a wide angle. Mounted horizontally, it delivers 60-degree dispersion along the horizontal plane. Requires K-Array amplifiers with dedicated presets loaded.
Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes the KV52FR II from the KV52F II?
Both share identical audio specifications and 60-degree vertical dispersion. The KV52FR II adds a complete frame and clamp system for recessed in-wall mounting, while the KV52F II uses a frameless chassis for surface installation.
Can the KV52FR II be used as a home cinema centre channel?
Yes. When mounted horizontally in a wall recess, it delivers 60-degree dispersion along the horizontal axis, which suits the wide-throw requirements of a centre channel speaker in a cinema setup.
Does the KV52FR II require a dedicated amplifier?
Yes. It is a passive loudspeaker that requires dedicated presets loaded on a compatible K-Array amplifier to achieve its rated frequency response and maximum SPL.
