Included among these offerings are the brand’s new KF210 2-Way 2 X 10” Line Array and AC6 2-Way Full Range ADAPTive Column Loudspeaker.

Offering a max SPL of 141dB, three-point rigging and built-in weather protection, the KF210 is a powerhouse in a small, durable package, designed to support a wide range of applications for the long-haul.

This newest solution is physically and acoustically sized to support the most events while requiring the fewest resources to deploy. Weighing in at only 60lbs, this line array solution is an ideal option for small crews operating out of medium to large outdoor festivals, corporate events, houses of worship, performing arts centers or theaters. Featuring dual, symmetrically placed 10-inch woofers, 90 degrees of horizontal bandwidth and a 3in voice coil compression driver mounted to EAW’s patented Isophasic Waveguide, the KF210 can master challenging acoustic spaces with accurate pattern control.
Pliant® Technologies Announces Dual Listen for MicroCom XR
