Vyper-KV52R II
The Vyper-KV52R II is an ultra-flat passive line array loudspeaker from K-Array, housing eight 1-inch neodymium magnet transducers in an aluminium chassis engineered for recessed in-wall installation. Its closely spaced drivers deliver true line array characteristics including phase coherence, low distortion, and a tight 10-degree vertical dispersion for focused sound in both near-field and long-throw positions.

Applications
The Vyper-KV52R II is suited to premium installed audio projects where the speaker must disappear into the wall plane. Its recessed chassis with frame and clamps suits architectural interiors, hospitality venues, boardrooms, and high-end residential spaces. The 10-degree vertical dispersion controls reflections from ceilings and floors, making it effective in acoustically reflective environments. Up to 16 units can be connected at 64 ohm to a single 4-ohm amplifier channel, supporting wide distributed system layouts without 70V transformer infrastructure. Requires K-Array amplifiers with dedicated presets loaded.
Frequently asked questions
How does the KV52R II differ from the KV52 II?
Both use the same driver array and line array dispersion (10 degrees vertical, 140 degrees horizontal). The KV52R II is the recessed variant with a frame and clamp system for flush in-wall installation, while the KV52 II uses a frameless chassis for surface mounting.
Why would I choose a 10-degree vertical dispersion speaker?
The 10-degree vertical pattern controls where sound energy goes, reducing ceiling and floor reflections and focusing output toward the listening plane. This maintains intelligibility and clarity across wide distributed installations.
Does the KV52R II work with any amplifier?
No. It requires dedicated presets loaded on a compatible K-Array amplifier. Using a standard amplifier without the correct preset will not achieve the rated frequency response or SPL performance.
