K-array nominates osKars in latest innovations
Offering deeper sound, higher SPLs and enhanced tonal definition, K-array has developed the Thunder-KS series of subwoofers. Fully managed by integrated DSP processors, the Thunder Series of active subwoofers includes powerful Class-D amplifiers. Thunder’s electronics deliver the power signal to the subwoofer itself and up to three additional channels of amplification and processing, so that an entire stereo system can be controlled using one active unit. The Thunder-KS series of subwoofers benefits from next-generation intelligence (osKar) together with IEB sound processors that manage an entire ecosystem through various control platforms. Incorporating a USB player and web stream receiver, the osKar operating system can also control the main DSP functions, including volume, routing and presets, directly from the device.
The remote control of the Thunder-KS subwoofers can be managed via three software platforms ranging from the K-framework for Windows and Mac, passing from a more intuitive web app and arriving at the more simplified mobile app (Wi-Fi). In addition, there are also APIs and plugins to control the devices via third-party controllers together with LEDs located on the front of each unit.
Housed in Finnish birch plywood and finished in black or white polyurea paint, the front mesh is treated with a powder coating to provide salt and weather resistance. Side handles are completely integrated into the chassis, while flexibility is enhanced with the inclusion of an M20 threaded flange on the top for combining with stands and pins of the Pinnacle and Axle systems. Hardware accessories allow them to be suspended with the Mugello line array and in clusters composed exclusively of subwoofers. The dedicated amplifier for the Thunder-KS line features a PowerCon True connector housed in a self-shelter recess within the sub chassis.
With Kommander, K-array has embarked on a new chapter for the manufacturer’s amplifier catalogue and a new era for cloud-based technologies. Comprising Class-D amp modules managed by integrated DSP processors, the lightweight amplifier is housed in a 2U stainless-steel chassis. Equipped with optical limiters and protections on the signal – overcurrent, short circuit and temperature – each amplifier is loaded with configurations necessary to drive any K-array passive product.
Equipped with 4–8 independent output/input channels, the Kommander amplifiers are fully configurable owing to the integrated DSP offering control over the EQ and level of each channel, routing matrix and delay. Tuning is managed courtesy of the Integrated Electronic Brain (IEB) implemented into K-array amplifiers. The built-in microelectronics driven by the osKar integrated operating system features expansive sound processing offering complete user control over the system performance. A mobile app and dedicated professional interface, volume, signal routing, presets and a complete USB player can be remotely monitored and controlled.
