K-Array Lyzard KZ1 I – Ultra-Mini Aluminum Point Source Speaker (Black)

Product Overview

The K-Array Lyzard KZ1 I is an ultra-mini point source speaker that delivers professional speech and music reproduction from an enclosure only 3.7 cm tall. Machined from solid aluminum and weighing just 21 grams, this miniature commercial loudspeaker is the smallest member of K-Array's Lyzard mid-high range and is built for architectural audio installations where the speaker must disappear into the room. With 140-degree horizontal and vertical coverage, the KZ1 I is a practical choice for designers who need discreet, near-invisible audio in boardrooms, retail-grade meeting spaces, and houses of worship.

Product Description

The Lyzard KZ1 I houses a single 0.5-inch long-excursion neodymium magnet transducer inside an ultra-resistant milled aluminum enclosure measuring 22 x 37 x 11 mm. Despite its discreet dimensions, the KZ1 I produces clear, intelligible audio with minimum residual noise, reaching a peak SPL of 86 dB across a frequency response of 500 Hz to 18 kHz (-6 dB). The wide 140-degree conical coverage pattern lets a small number of units blanket a listening area evenly, which is why integrators specify the KZ1 I for close-proximity fill, under-balcony zones, display audio, and millwork-integrated systems.

As a 16-ohm passive micro loudspeaker, the KZ1 I connects through simple IN+/IN- screw terminals and is designed to run on K-Array amplification with the dedicated Lyzard preset, such as the Kommander KA02 I Class D DSP amplifier. Pair it with a Rumble KU44 ultra-slim subwoofer for full-range coverage, or step up to the Lyzard KZ14 I micro line array when higher SPL and controlled vertical dispersion are required. A white version is available as the Lyzard KZ1W I, and a recessed variant as the Lyzard KZ1R I in-wall version.

Key Features

• Ultra-mini footprint — At 22 x 37 x 11 mm and 21 grams, the KZ1 I installs in sightlines, millwork, and reveals where conventional speakers cannot fit.
• Milled aluminum enclosure — The solid machined-aluminum body resists vibration and damage while giving the speaker a refined architectural finish.
• 0.5-inch neodymium transducer — A long-excursion neodymium magnet driver delivers clean mid-high output with minimum residual noise.
• 140 x 140 degree coverage — Wide conical dispersion covers listeners evenly at close range, reducing the number of units needed per zone.
• 500 Hz – 18 kHz response — Voicing optimized for speech intelligibility and mid-high music reproduction in distributed systems.
• 16-ohm passive design — Multiple units can be combined on K-Array amplifier channels for efficient distributed installations.
• Simple screw-terminal wiring — IN+/IN- terminals keep terminations fast and reliable in tight installation spaces.
• Finish options — Factory finishes include black, white, and custom RAL colors to match interior design requirements.

Typical Applications

• Boardrooms requiring invisible program audio
• Conference rooms and huddle rooms with design-sensitive interiors
• Houses of worship needing discreet fill speakers
• Commercial meeting spaces and multi-purpose rooms
• Broadcast studios where speakers must stay out of camera view
• Government spaces with architectural audio requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier should I use with the Lyzard KZ1 I?
K-Array passive loudspeakers are designed to run on K-Array amplifiers loaded with the dedicated Lyzard preset. The Kommander KA02 I is the standard pairing for small Lyzard systems.

Does the KZ1 I reproduce bass frequencies?
No. The KZ1 I is a mid-high speaker with response from 500 Hz upward. For full-range systems, pair it with a Rumble KU44 series subwoofer to cover low frequencies.

How is the KZ1 I mounted?
The KZ1 I is the surface-mount version of the speaker. If you need a recessed, flush installation, choose the KZ1R I in-wall mounting version with its spring-clip retention system.

Can I run several KZ1 I speakers on one amplifier channel?
Yes. The 16-ohm nominal impedance allows multiple units to be combined on a single K-Array amplifier output; confirm total load against your amplifier's minimum impedance rating during system design.

Is the KZ1 I covered by a manufacturer warranty?
Yes. K-Array products purchased from Creation Networks, an authorized dealer, carry full manufacturer warranty coverage, and our AV team provides pre-sale design help and post-sale support.
