K-Array Tornado KT2C-HV – 2" 70V Ceiling-Mount Speaker (Black)

Product Overview

The K-Array Tornado KT2C-HV is a 70V flush ceiling-mount point source speaker engineered for constant-voltage distributed audio systems in commercial buildings. It pairs the Tornado 2" neodymium driver with a recessed ceiling enclosure and high-impedance 70V design, making it ideal for multi-zone configurations and long cable runs where dozens of ceiling speakers share single amplifier channels. This black 70V ceiling speaker delivers 150 Hz – 18 kHz response, 107 dB peak SPL, 90° x 90° coverage, and IP65 weather resistance from an enclosure just 125 mm across.

Product Description

Ceiling-distributed 70V audio is the workhorse architecture of commercial AV — paging, background music, and zoned program across offices, civic buildings, and campuses. The KT2C-HV serves that architecture with far better fidelity than commodity ceiling cans: K-Array's proprietary 2" high-efficiency woofer with maximum-linear-excursion suspension reproduces speech and music with very low distortion, and 90° x 90° conical coverage makes layout spacing predictable.

Ceiling brackets ship in the box for flush installation into ceilings, soffits, and millwork, and the machined aluminum enclosure is electronically protected and IP65 rated for exterior soffits and humid spaces. Wiring terminates on a 4-pin Euroblock connector. For low-impedance designs, choose the 8/32 Ω Tornado KT2C. For surface wall mounting on 70V lines, see the KT2-HV, and for white ceilings the KT2CW-HV.

Key Features

• Native 70V constant-voltage operation — Drops directly onto 70V distributed lines, the standard for commercial paging and background music systems.
• Flush ceiling-mount design — Included ceiling brackets recess the speaker for a near-invisible overhead profile.
• Built for multi-zone systems and long runs — High-impedance design supports many ceiling speakers per amplifier channel across large facilities.
• 2" neodymium woofer — 150 Hz – 18 kHz reproduction with very low distortion outclasses typical commodity 70V ceiling speakers.
• 107 dB peak SPL — Capable of foreground program levels, not just background fill.
• 90° x 90° coverage — Predictable conical dispersion simplifies ceiling grid spacing.
• IP65 weather resistance — Deployable in exterior soffits and humid environments.
• Euroblock connectivity — The included 4-pin Euroblock connector speeds daisy-chained installation.

Typical Applications

• Conference rooms and commercial meeting spaces on building-wide 70V systems
• Government spaces with zoned ceiling audio and paging
• Multi-purpose rooms, training rooms, and all-hands rooms
• Houses of worship support spaces and corridors
• Auditorium lobbies and circulation areas

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the KT2C-HV over the standard KT2C?
Choose the HV for 70V constant-voltage systems — many speakers per amplifier channel and long cable runs. The KT2C is the 8/32 Ω low-impedance version for dedicated channels and shorter runs.

Does it work with standard 70V amplifiers?
Yes, the KT2C-HV connects to standard 70V constant-voltage amplifier lines used throughout commercial AV. Creation Networks can help size your amplifier for the planned speaker count.

Can the KT2C-HV be installed in exterior soffits?
Yes — the IP65 rating supports weather-exposed and humid locations.

Is a wall-mount 70V version available?
Yes, the Tornado KT2-HV surface-mounts with an included wall bracket on the same 70V architecture.

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