K-Array Python KP102W I – White Variable Beam Line Array Element

Product Overview

The K-Array Python KP102W I is the white-finish version of K-Array's meter-long variable beam line array element, built for commercial AV installations in bright, design-led interiors where loudspeakers must visually disappear. Twelve 3.15-inch neodymium magnet woofers deliver up to 134 dB peak SPL with adjustable 7°–30° vertical by 90° horizontal coverage, making this white column line array a natural fit against light walls, columns, and millwork in houses of worship, auditoriums, and government spaces. Selectable 4-ohm or 16-ohm impedance simplifies amplifier loading across multi-element passive column speaker systems. For dark interiors, the same element ships as the black Python KP102 I.

Product Description

White interiors are common in modern worship spaces, civic buildings, galleries, and corporate lobbies — and a black loudspeaker on a white wall defeats the purpose of a slim column. The KP102W I solves this with a factory white finish on the same stainless steel, three-inch-wide enclosure that defines the Python series, blending into light architectural surfaces while projecting speech and program material over long throw distances. Its twelve closely spaced 3.15-inch neodymium woofers behave as a true line source with 120 Hz – 18 kHz response and high intelligibility, ideal for front fill, under-balcony fill, and full-room reinforcement. Variable beam control sets vertical coverage between 7° and 30° to match seating depth, and selectable 4/16-ohm impedance allows up to four elements per 4-ohm amplifier channel when set to 16 ohms. SpeakON NL4 connectors loop signal through to the next element, and K-Array's rigging hardware — including white-finish K-WALL2W brackets and K-PMOUNTW pole adapters, all sold separately — keeps the entire installation color-consistent. Custom RAL finishes are also available for exact color matching, and IP65 sealing accessories prepare the element for exterior or humid locations.

Key Features

• Architectural White Finish — The factory white coating blends the slim column into light walls, ceilings, and millwork without sacrificing output.
• Twelve 3.15-Inch Neodymium Woofers — Closely spaced drivers create true line source behavior for long-throw projection with high speech intelligibility.
• 134 dB Peak Output — The meter-long element delivers serious headroom for speech and music reinforcement in medium to large venues.
• Variable Beam Vertical Coverage — Adjustable 7°–30° vertical dispersion matches the beam to throw distance and audience depth without DSP steering.
• Selectable 4/16-Ohm Impedance — Switching to 16 ohms allows up to four elements per 4-ohm amplifier channel, simplifying larger system designs.
• White Rigging Accessories Available — Matching white wall brackets and pole mounts (sold separately) keep the full installation color-consistent.
• SpeakON NL4 In and Through — Loop-through wiring supports clean daisy-chained vertical or horizontal line array configurations.
• IP65 Sealing Accessories Available — Optional connector kits prepare the element for outdoor and high-humidity installations.
• Custom RAL Option — Beyond standard white, K-Array offers custom RAL color matching for exact architectural specifications.

Typical Applications

• House of worship sanctuaries with white or light-toned interiors requiring discreet reinforcement
• Auditoriums and performance spaces where loudspeakers must match light architectural finishes
• Government spaces such as council chambers and courtrooms with formal white interiors
• Multi-purpose rooms and all-hands rooms in design-forward corporate facilities
• Commercial meeting spaces using distributed or front-fill column loudspeakers

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the KP102W I acoustically identical to the black KP102 I?

Yes. The white finish is cosmetic only — drivers, coverage, frequency response, impedance options, and output are identical to the black Python KP102 I.

Are white mounting accessories available?

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

What amplifier should power the KP102W I?

The element is passive with selectable 4/16-ohm impedance. K-Array recommends Kommander amplifiers with dedicated KP102 presets; at 16 ohms, up to four elements can share one 4-ohm amplifier channel.

Does the KP102W I need a subwoofer?

For speech, it covers the full vocal range from 120 Hz on its own. For music programs, K-Array recommends pairing with Thunder or Rumble subwoofers to extend the system across the full musical frequency range.

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.
