After a presentation by Sennheiser UK's sales and marketing director Peter May, K-Array product manager Francesco Maffei, export manager Leonardo Dani and CEO Alex Tatini gave detailed explanations of the Kobra Systems including the miniature KT20 2" point source compact speaker, the KV50, an ultra-slim, ultra-flat three-dimensional array loudspeaker with multiple 1" full-range drivers and the KK50, an ultra-slim line array only 50cm long. All Kobra systems were demonstrated with the KKS50, an ultra-slim, 50cm, line array bass speaker.
Visitors had the opportunity to ask questions and hear the products in various configurations, before being led into a second room for demonstrations of the Red Line range. An aerobics workout and a cookery demonstration were heard through two-way 2000W KR100S systems, while a live performance by acoustic guitarist and singer James Henton and a short but dexterous set from Mix Champion DJ E Double D filled the room with sound courtesy of two two-way 4000W KR200S systems.
Next, visitors were ushered into a larger room to witness a live performance by electric string quartet Blaze through KH4 self-powered line array loudspeakers, matched with KS4 self-powered 8-figure flat subwoofers.
"The K-Array launch went very well," said Sennheiser UK's general manager Phil Massey. "We were able to demonstrate the full range of K-Array products to a wide range of audio professionals."
