K-Array Turtle KRM33P – Low-Profile Passive Stage Monitor Speaker

Product Overview

The K-Array Turtle KRM33P is an ultra-compact, low-profile passive stage monitor built into a stainless steel chassis only four inches tall. Designed as a passive wedge speaker with variable horizontal coverage, the KRM33P delivers 70 Hz – 20 kHz response and 121 dB peak SPL while staying discreet enough for scenography, broadcast studios, and under-balcony fills. Its selectable 30° / 70° horizontal dispersion makes this low-profile floor monitor unusually flexible: tight spot coverage for a single presenter or wide flood coverage for a stage zone, and clusterable into horizontal arrays for extended coverage with high gain-before-feedback.

Product Description

Nicknamed "the cheese box" for its slim wedge form, the KRM33P combines three 3.15" neodymium cone drivers with a 6" passive radiator. The result is a controlled, linear emission across a remarkably wide range for the size, with bass extension down to 70 Hz — real low-end from a monitor that all but disappears at the lip of a stage or beneath a balcony.

The controlled horizontal dispersion is the KRM33P's defining trick. A switch selects Spot (30°) or Flood (70°) coverage, and multiple units can be arrayed horizontally to increase SPL and coverage while maintaining high, constant signal-before-feedback across all of the cluster's beams — invaluable for downstage monitoring in houses of worship and theaters where open microphones are everywhere. As a passive 8 Ω speaker, it connects via SpeakON NL4 (1+/1- signal, 2+/2- through for daisy-chaining) and requires the dedicated K-Array preset loaded on a K-Array amplifier for correct response and protection. The optional K-R3WALL1 bracket wall-mounts the KRM33P for installed fill duty.

Key Features

• Low-profile stainless steel chassis — At just 103 mm (4") tall, the sturdy stainless steel wedge integrates discreetly into stage lips, scenography, and under-balcony positions.
• Selectable 30° / 70° horizontal coverage — A Spot/Flood switch matches dispersion to the application, from a single presenter position to a wide stage zone.
• Three 3.15" neodymium drivers plus 6" passive radiator — The driver complement delivers controlled, linear output with bass extension to 70 Hz.
• 121 dB peak SPL — Serious monitor-level output from a package weighing only 5.2 kg.
• Arrayable design — Horizontal clusters increase SPL and coverage while preserving high, constant signal-before-feedback across all beams.
• SpeakON NL4 with loop-through — 1+/1- signal with 2+/2- through simplifies daisy-chained monitor runs.
• 8 Ω passive operation — Pairs with K-Array amplifiers running the dedicated KRM33P factory preset for tuned response and protection.
• Wall-mount option — The K-R3WALL1 bracket converts the wedge into an installed fill speaker.
• Made in Italy — All components are designed by K-Array R&D and built under the K-Array quality control system.

Typical Applications

• House of worship downstage monitoring and chancel fills
• Auditorium and theater under-balcony fill
• Broadcast studio floor monitoring
• All-hands rooms and commercial meeting spaces needing discreet presenter foldback
• Multi-purpose rooms with portable or installed monitoring

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier does the KRM33P require?
As a passive 8 Ω speaker, the KRM33P should be driven by a K-Array amplifier loaded with the dedicated KRM33P factory preset, which provides the correct crossover, response shaping, and protection.

How does the Spot/Flood switch work?
A physical switch selects 30° (Spot) or 70° (Flood) horizontal coverage, letting you focus energy on one position or spread it across a wider zone without changing speakers.

Can multiple KRM33P units be arrayed?
Yes. The controlled horizontal dispersion is designed for horizontal arraying — clusters increase SPL and coverage while maintaining high, constant signal-before-feedback across all beams.

Can it be permanently installed rather than used as a floor wedge?
Yes. The optional K-R3WALL1 wall bracket mounts the KRM33P for installed fill applications such as under-balcony coverage.

How do I daisy-chain monitors?
The SpeakON NL4 wiring carries signal on pins 1+/1- and a loop-through on 2+/2-, so multiple wedges can share a single amplifier run.

What warranty and support apply?
K-Array products are covered by the manufacturer's 5-year warranty policy. Creation Networks provides system design help before and after purchase — explore the full K-Array collection for matching amplifiers and speakers.
