K-Array Tornado KT2-HV – 2" 70V Point Source Speaker (Black)

Product Overview

The K-Array Tornado KT2-HV is the 70V high-impedance version of the ultra-compact Tornado 2" point source speaker, engineered specifically for constant-voltage distributed audio systems. Where the standard KT2 serves low-impedance designs, the KT2-HV connects directly to 70V commercial amplifier lines, making it the right choice for multi-zone configurations and long cable runs across large facilities. This 70V compact aluminum speaker retains the family's 150 Hz – 18 kHz response, 107 dB peak SPL, 90° x 90° coverage, and IP65 weather resistance in a wall-mount enclosure under three inches square.

Product Description

In a 70V constant-voltage system, dozens of speakers share one amplifier channel over a single cable run — the standard architecture for paging, background music, and zoned audio in commercial buildings. The KT2-HV is built for exactly this: K-Array engineered the HV variant for 70V high-impedance distributed audio systems, ideal for multi-zone configurations and long cable runs where low-impedance wiring becomes impractical.

Acoustically it is a true Tornado: a proprietary 2" high-efficiency neodymium woofer with a suspension built for maximum linear excursion delivers clear speech and music with very low distortion. The machined aluminum enclosure is electronically protected and IP65 rated, the included wall bracket handles fixed surface installation, and wiring lands on a 4-pin Euroblock connector. If your design calls for low-impedance speakers instead, see the 8/32 Ω Tornado KT2. For flush ceiling placement on 70V lines, choose the KT2C-HV, and for light interiors the white KT2W-HV.

Key Features

• Native 70V operation — Connects directly to 70V constant-voltage amplifier lines, the standard for commercial distributed audio, paging, and background music systems.
• Built for multi-zone systems and long cable runs — High-impedance design lets many speakers share one amplifier channel across large facilities with minimal line loss.
• 2" neodymium woofer — The proprietary driver reproduces 150 Hz – 18 kHz with very low distortion, a clear step up from typical commodity 70V speakers.
• 107 dB peak SPL — Real output for foreground music and intelligible paging, not just background fill.
• Ultra-compact aluminum enclosure — The 74 x 74 x 118 mm machined body suits architectural and space-sensitive installations.
• 90° x 90° coverage — Wide, predictable dispersion simplifies speaker spacing in distributed layouts.
• IP65 weather resistance — Deployable outdoors, in entries, and in humid environments.
• Wall bracket and Euroblock included — Ships installation-ready for fixed surface mounting.

Typical Applications

• Commercial meeting spaces and multi-purpose rooms on building-wide 70V systems
• Government spaces with zoned paging and program audio
• Houses of worship distributing audio across overflow and support spaces
• Training rooms and all-hands rooms fed from central amplifier racks
• Auditorium lobby and corridor distributed audio

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of the 70V KT2-HV over the standard KT2?
The KT2-HV connects to 70V constant-voltage lines, allowing many speakers per amplifier channel over long cable runs — ideal for building-wide, multi-zone commercial audio. The standard KT2 is the 8/32 Ω low-impedance version for shorter runs and dedicated channels.

Does the KT2-HV work with any 70V amplifier?
It connects to standard 70V constant-voltage amplifier lines used throughout commercial AV. Contact Creation Networks for help matching amplifier power to your speaker count and tap requirements.

Can the KT2-HV be installed outdoors?
Yes — the aluminum enclosure is IP65 rated for weather-exposed locations as well as indoor spaces.

Is there a ceiling-mount 70V version?
Yes, the Tornado KT2C-HV provides flush ceiling installation on the same 70V architecture.

What warranty applies?
K-Array products carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty. Creation Networks provides pre-sale design assistance and post-sale support — see the full K-Array collection.
