K-array deploys its audio technology in important spaces in Milan

The versatile audio ecosystem of K-Array It is currently present in prominent restaurant spaces, nightlife and corporate environments of the city of Milan, to which it offers a uniform and high quality sound for different environments.

The Italian city of Milan is characterized by its rich history of art., design and innovation, which is accompanied by a varied offer of entertainment and nightlife in numerous spaces.

A fundamental element in these spaces is the audio quality that they offer to the public, in which the common denominator in many of them is the installation of the Italian manufacturer's sound technology K-array to create the best environment.

An example of this is the Central Market, located in Milan Central Station, a lively space of style street food con several gastronomic corners offering diners the opportunity to explore different cuisines.

To offer an ambient sound in which diners could enjoy the restaurants, but without hindering their conversations, Twenty passive K-array speakers have been installed Cobra-KK52, combined with passive subwoofers Rumble-KU210 high-performance ultra-thin, along with units Vyper-KV52 con Rumble-KU26 for the bass.

The multiple seating areas and food stalls of the Mercato Centrale presented a complex challenge for the installation of an audio system that would offer a stable and quality coverage.

Thanks to the Pure Array technology (PAT) featuring K-Array's Kobra passive speakers, This unique space can offer natural sound and optimal phase response, issuing the audio evenly.

Its narrow vertical coverage has also helped to minimize sound dispersion towards the ceiling and floor., increasing the intelligibility y reducing annoying reverberation.

The option of Flood coverage by Kobra-KK52 offers the most extensive exhibition that requires a space as large as that of the Mercato Centrale, while the Vyper-KV52 ultra-thin passive speakers offer low distortion and focused coverage.

K-array speakers are also at the heart of the sound of the elegant restaurant and cocktail bar Otivm , famous for its dinner shows, as for its live music and dancing when it turns into a disco at night.

This variety of environments required a high performance audio system, versatile and flexible, for which a four-speaker configuration was installed Dragon-KX12 and two subwoofers Thunder-KMT218 I by K-Array.

The Dragon-KX12 12” coaxial speaker offers powerful point source audio. With a sound pressure level (SPL) maximum of 132 dB and a frequency range of 120 Hz a 19 kHz, responds to Otivm's diverse sound needs, offering high intelligibility for live performances, as well as a clear and powerful sound on club nights.

Located in Milan's trendy NoLo neighborhood, GhePensiMi captivates its customers with its fun combination of craft beers, stand-up comedy and DJ sets.

After years of poor sound, the place wanted to improve its system and minimize noise pollution for residents of the area. As experts in advanced technologies directivity control, K-array products turned out to be the perfect solution.

The premises now have four passive linear arrangements Cobra-KK52 located along the side walls to ensure uniform and directional coverage. The bar's irregular dimensions and hard surfaces were a major challenge, since they cause reverberations that aggravate the already noisy environment.

The Pure Array technology Kobra ensured clear phase coherence and sound projection in this regard., so that live music, DJ sets and spoken word are heard clearly, even when the place is full.

The most technically challenging aspect of the project was the installation of two subwoofers Thunder-KS1P in cardioid configuration, which direct bass frequencies more effectively towards the front and reduce them towards the rear, thus minimizing dispersion to the exterior of the building and the impact on the surrounding neighborhood.

A powerful Kommander-KA104 amplifier, with integrated DSP, complete the sound system setup for this space, whose compact dimensions make it ideal for installation in small spaces.

“You can see the difference. Those who come here for the sound really notice it, even the international guests - he assures Matthew Russo, founder of GhePensiMi-. Many have praised us for the audio: It is not only powerful, but also incredibly nice. "It doesn't tire".

Applying his experience to the corporate field, K-array recently collaborated with Samsung in the new Smart Arena, a multipurpose space built as part of a broader urban remodeling project focused on the business for events and corporate meetings.

The circular room It has an innovative architecture, like the use of sound-absorbing materials to create a unique acoustic atmosphere, ideal for audio and voice reproduction.

To further improve the intelligibility of the word, four speakers have been installed Python-KP-102 I de matrix K and two subwoofers Rumble-KU315. The former fluently reproduce the entire range of vocal frequencies with clarity ideal for voice reinforcement and multimedia presentations..

Designed to be a sustainable enclosure and climate resilient, Samsung Smart Arena has outstanding green credentials. K-array teams, made with easily recyclable materials, contribute to the project's vision of a more circular and sustainable technological life cycle.

“As an Italian manufacturer, It is always exciting to participate in local projects and see how different spaces come to life with our solutions - he points out Lorenzo De Poi, K-array brand manager. The versatility of our ecosystem allows products to be found in a wide variety of environments in Milan, from restaurants and bars to corporates”.
