MCBEE
K-array, an Italian pro-audio manufacturer, builds loudspeakers around Pure Array Technology — closely-spaced small neodymium transducers with no crossover and no reflex enclosure, giving coherent phase response at both near-field and far-field distances. The result is a speaker that measures like professional line-array cinema sound but fits into a form factor thin enough to vanish into a wall or ceiling — the Kobra line runs as narrow as 59mm wide.
A luxury interior can’t accommodate visible speaker boxes, but the acoustic performance still has to hold up in a room built for film. K-array’s Kobra series solves that trade-off directly, and its Anakonda line goes further — a flexible, articulated array that bends around curved or irregular architectural surfaces while keeping the array’s phase coherence intact. MCBEE specified K-array, in partnership with ISD India, on the private cinema at DLF – The Camellias, Gurugram — a CEDIA 2021 Best Home Cinema, Global Winner.
Kobra slim-line array specification for discreet architectural integration · Anakonda flexible array design for curved surfaces · Firenze digitally-steered coverage for large or irregular rooms · concealed speaker placement engineered alongside interior design.
K-array’s Pure Array Technology uses many small, closely-spaced neodymium drivers instead of one or two large drivers in a box — the array behaves acoustically like a coherent line source, which is a different (and, done well, more consistent) approach to coverage than a conventional speaker’s single large driver, and it doesn’t require the deep enclosure a traditional design does.
Yes — the private cinema at DLF – The Camellias, Gurugram, was built in collaboration with K-array’s distributor, ISD India, and went on to win four CEDIA 2021 awards including Best Home Cinema, Global Winner.
