K-Array Lyzard KZ1R I – Ultra-Mini In-Wall Point Source Speaker (Black)

Product Overview

The K-Array Lyzard KZ1R I is the in-wall mounting version of K-Array's smallest loudspeaker: an ultra-mini recessed point source speaker that flush-mounts into walls, ceilings, and millwork through a compact 28 x 43 mm faceplate. A metallic spring clip lets installers snap the speaker into a cutout in seconds, making this flush-mount micro speaker one of the fastest discreet audio solutions to deploy. With 140-degree coverage, an IP64 rating, and a milled aluminum body, the KZ1R I suits boardrooms, houses of worship, and government spaces where audio must be heard but never seen.

Product Description

The Lyzard KZ1R I packs a single 0.5-inch long-excursion neodymium magnet transducer into an ultra-resistant milled aluminum enclosure measuring 28 x 43 x 11 mm and weighing just 21 grams. Performance matches the surface-mount KZ1: a 500 Hz to 18 kHz (-6 dB) frequency response, 86 dB peak SPL, and minimum residual noise for clear, intelligible speech and mid-high music reproduction. What sets the R version apart is its metallic spring clip for recessed in-wall installation — cut the opening, connect the wire, and the clip holds the speaker flush with the surface for a clean architectural result.

An IP64 rating adds dust and splash protection, extending the KZ1R I to covered outdoor and humid environments. As a 16-ohm passive speaker with IN+/IN- screw terminals, it runs on K-Array amplification with the dedicated Lyzard preset — typically the Kommander KA02 I DSP amplifier — and pairs with Rumble KU44 subwoofers for full-range coverage. Prefer surface mounting? Choose the standard Lyzard KZ1 I. Need it in white? See the Lyzard KZ1RW I.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the in-wall mounting work?
The KZ1R I uses a metallic spring clip: cut a small opening in drywall, panel, or millwork, connect the speaker wire to the screw terminals, and press the speaker into place. The clip holds it flush against the surface.

What is different from the standard KZ1 I?
Acoustics are identical. The KZ1R I adds the recessed mounting system, a slightly larger 28 x 43 mm faceplate, and an IP64 rating; the surface-mount version is the KZ1 I.

Can the KZ1R I be used in damp locations?
Its IP64 rating protects against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for humid interiors and covered outdoor areas; it is not rated for direct, sustained water exposure.

What amplifier and subwoofer should I pair with it?
Use a K-Array amplifier with the Lyzard preset, such as the Kommander KA02 I, and add a Rumble KU44 subwoofer when the system needs low-frequency extension below 500 Hz.

Is warranty support included?
Yes. As an authorized K-Array dealer, Creation Networks provides full manufacturer warranty along with system design assistance before and after your purchase.
