K-Array Vyper KV102R II – In-Wall 100cm Line Array Element (Black)

Product Overview

The K-Array Vyper KV102R II is an in-wall line array speaker engineered for flush-mount installed audio in boardrooms, houses of worship, and architectural commercial spaces where loudspeakers must disappear into the wall. This recessed 100cm aluminum line array element houses sixteen 1" neodymium magnet drivers in a chassis purpose-built for in-wall recessed installation, delivering 120 dB peak SPL with true line array control. For integrators specifying invisible installed audio with high speech intelligibility, the KV102R II in black provides phase-coherent column performance from a slot barely 5 cm wide.

Product Description

The KV102R II is the in-wall recessed version of K-Array's Vyper KV102 II, designed to mount flush within wall cavities so only a slim black aperture remains visible. Its sixteen closely spaced 1" neodymium cone drivers produce true line array characteristics — phase coherence, low distortion, and focused listening both in the near field and at distance — with controlled 7-degree vertical by 140-degree horizontal coverage that projects sound onto the audience and keeps it off reflective ceilings and floors. The result is consistent speech intelligibility across rows of seating, which is why slim column arrays of this type are widely specified for conference and worship reinforcement.

Selectable 8-ohm or 32-ohm impedance gives system designers real flexibility during commercial AV deployment: up to eight KV102 II-series elements at 32 ohms can share a single 4-ohm amplifier channel, eliminating 70V transformer lines in distributed systems while preserving full-fidelity low-impedance performance. Wiring lands on an included 2-pin Euroblock connector, and dedicated DSP presets are available when the speaker is driven by K-Array amplification such as the Prisma KPRA02+ matrix processing platform. A surface-mount version is available as the Vyper KV102 II, and this recessed model also comes in white as the KV102RW II.

Key Features

• In-Wall Recessed Chassis — The 50 x 1010 x 37 mm aluminum housing is designed specifically for flush in-wall installation, leaving only a slim aperture visible in finished architectural surfaces.
• Sixteen 1" Neodymium Drivers — Sixteen closely spaced neodymium magnet cone transducers form a true line source with phase coherence and low distortion at any listening distance.
• Controlled Vertical Coverage — The 7-degree vertical by 140-degree horizontal pattern directs energy at listeners and away from reflective surfaces, improving speech intelligibility in reverberant rooms.
• Selectable 8/32-Ohm Impedance — Switching to 32 ohms allows up to eight elements on one 4-ohm amplifier channel, removing the need for 70V lines in distributed installed systems.
• 120 dB Peak Output — With 300 W rated power handling and 120 dB peak SPL, a single element covers sizable meeting and worship spaces from one wall position.
• 150 Hz – 18 kHz Response — Full vocal-range reproduction (-6 dB) pairs naturally with a K-Array subwoofer when program music requires extended low frequency.
• Lightweight Aluminum Build — At 1.8 kg, the extruded aluminum element installs into wall cavities without structural reinforcement.
• Euroblock Termination — The included 2-pin Euroblock connector provides secure, installer-friendly terminations inside the wall cavity.

Typical Applications

• Boardrooms where loudspeakers must be flush with millwork and wall finishes
• Conference rooms and commercial meeting spaces requiring intelligible program and conferencing audio
• Houses of worship needing discreet reinforcement that preserves historic or architectural interiors
• Government spaces and council chambers specifying recessed, tamper-discreet installed audio
• Auditoriums and all-hands rooms using distributed column arrays for even coverage
• Multi-purpose rooms and training rooms with zoned low-impedance speaker layouts

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the KV102R II and the KV102 II?
The KV102R II is the in-wall recessed version with a 50 x 1010 x 37 mm chassis built to mount flush inside a wall cavity. The standard KV102 II is the surface-mount version with a slimmer 40 x 1000 x 22 mm frameless chassis for on-wall installation.

What amplifier should drive the KV102R II?
Any quality low-impedance installation amplifier rated for the selected 8-ohm or 32-ohm load works; K-Array electronics such as the Prisma KPRA02+ include dedicated Vyper presets for optimized tuning and driver protection.

How many speakers can share one amplifier channel?
Set to 32 ohms, up to eight KV102 II-series elements can be paralleled on a single 4-ohm amplifier channel, which is how the Vyper line replaces 70V distributed designs without transformers.

Does it need a subwoofer?
For speech reinforcement, no — the 150 Hz to 18 kHz response covers the vocal range. For program music, K-Array recommends pairing with its Truffle or Rumble subwoofer lines for full-range performance.

What is required for in-wall installation?
The element recesses into a prepared wall opening; K-Array publishes a drilling/cut-out template and BIM files for the KV102R II to support pre-construction coordination. Confirm cavity depth of at least 37 mm plus wiring clearance.

What warranty applies?
K-Array loudspeakers are covered by the manufacturer's 5-year warranty policy, and Creation Networks supports specification, ordering, and post-installation questions for commercial integrators.
