K-Array Kayman KY52W – White Compact Line Array Element

Product Overview

The K-Array Kayman KY52W is the white-finish version of K-Array's compact variable beam line array element, built for commercial AV installations in bright, design-led interiors. Four closely spaced 4-inch neodymium magnet woofers deliver up to 132 dB peak SPL with adjustable 10°–45° vertical by 90° horizontal coverage, letting this white column speaker blend into light walls and millwork in conference rooms, houses of worship, and multi-purpose rooms. A full-range preset extends response down to 60 Hz for subwoofer-free passive column speaker systems. For dark interiors, the same element ships as the black Kayman KY52; for more output in a one-meter format, see the Kayman KY102W.

Product Description

Modern worship sanctuaries, civic chambers, and corporate meeting rooms frequently specify white interiors — and the KY52W keeps the audio system from becoming a visual intrusion in them. The factory white finish covers the same 510 mm stainless steel enclosure as the black KY52, housing four 4-inch neodymium woofers that form a true line source with 120 Hz – 20 kHz response, or 60 Hz – 20 kHz with the full-range preset. Variable beam control sets vertical coverage anywhere between 10° and 45° so installers can match the beam to seating depth in rooms where a wide adjustment range matters more than maximum throw. Selectable 4-ohm or 16-ohm impedance simplifies loading multiple elements on shared amplifier channels, and SpeakON NL4 loop-through wiring supports daisy-chained vertical or horizontal arrays. At 5.8 kg, the element mounts cleanly with K-Array's white-finish rigging — K-WALL2W and K-WALL2LW wall brackets, the K-PMOUNTW pole adapter, and the K-STAGE2W stage bracket, all sold separately — keeping the entire installation color-consistent, with custom RAL finishes available for exact matches. K-Array recommends Kommander amplifiers with dedicated KY52 presets, plus Thunder or Rumble subwoofers for extended low-frequency systems. Browse the complete lineup in the K-Array collection.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the KY52W acoustically identical to the black KY52?

Yes. The white finish is cosmetic only — drivers, coverage, frequency response, impedance options, and output match the black Kayman KY52 exactly.

Are white mounting accessories available?

Yes. K-Array offers white versions of its rigging hardware, including K-WALL2W and K-WALL2LW wall brackets, the K-PMOUNTW pole adapter, K-FOOT3W stand adapter, and K-STAGE2W stage bracket, all sold separately so the complete installation stays color-consistent.

What amplifier should power the KY52W?

The element is passive with 600 W rated power and selectable 4/16-ohm impedance. K-Array recommends Kommander amplifiers with dedicated KY52 presets, including the full-range preset, but any professional amplifier with appropriate power and DSP can drive it.

Does the KY52W need a subwoofer?

For speech and moderate program material, the full-range preset extends response to 60 Hz without a subwoofer. For music-forward systems, K-Array recommends pairing with Thunder or Rumble subwoofers.

Can it be color-matched beyond standard white?

Yes. K-Array offers custom RAL finishes, so the column can be matched to any architectural color specification for fully integrated installations.

What warranty applies to this product?

K-Array provides a 5-year manufacturer warranty, supported by Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. See the full range in our K-Array collection.
