L-Acoustics Kiva II 2-Way Passive Speaker
Description
The L-Acoustics Kiva II is a compact, weather-resistant 2-way passive enclosure designed for line-source deployment. It combines two premium 6.5 inch low-frequency drivers with a 1.75 inch diaphragm compression driver and a cylindrical waveguide to deliver controlled horizontal coverage and high output from a small footprint.
Key Features
- Controlled coverage, approximately 110 degrees horizontal and 15 degrees vertical per element, enabling coherent line-source arrays when multiple cabinets are combined.
- Weather-resistant construction with a moisture-resistant composite cabinet, composite grille and acoustically transparent fabric for outdoor and indoor use, rated IP55.
- High output and clarity, usable bandwidth from 70 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) and maximum peak SPL of 138 dB at 1 m using pink noise (crest factor 4).
- Robust rigging via a three-point captive hardware system for secure arraying and angle adjustment between elements.
- Connectivity using 2 × 4-point speakON connectors and a nominal impedance of 16 ohms.
Use Cases
- Small-to-medium outdoor events and stages where controlled horizontal coverage and compact size are required.
- Installed or touring situations needing weather-resistant PA elements that can be arrayed into coherent line sources.
- Situations requiring high SPL from small enclosures, such as front fill, under balcony, or distributed reinforcement.
