K-Array Vyper KV52F II – Wide-Dispersion Ultra-Flat Speaker

Product Overview

The K-Array Vyper KV52F II is a wide-dispersion line array speaker in an ultra-flat aluminum chassis just 22 mm deep, built for installations that need broad, even coverage from a nearly invisible loudspeaker. Its eight 1-inch neodymium drivers are fed electronically processed signals that widen the emission pattern to 60° vertical by 140° horizontal — six times the vertical coverage of the standard KV52 II — while still producing 114 dB peak SPL. This makes it a slim wide-coverage passive speaker for conference rooms, multi-purpose rooms, and home cinema center channels. Browse the full lineup in the K-Array collection.

Product Description

The KV52F II is the wide-dispersion member of K-Array's half-meter Vyper II family. Where the standard Vyper KV52 II projects a tight 10° vertical beam for long-throw focus, the KV52F II feeds its eight closely spaced 1-inch neodymium cone drivers with electronically processed signals that widen the overall sound emission to 60° in the vertical plane. Mounted horizontally, that 60° dispersion makes it ideal where wider coverage is required — K-Array specifically cites the center channel of a home cinema configuration — and in commercial rooms it covers seating areas close to the speaker that a narrow-beam element would miss. The frameless precision-extruded aluminum chassis supports clean, bracketless surface mounting on any flat wall or ceiling, covering 150 Hz to 18 kHz for articulate speech and program audio. Selectable 16/64-ohm impedance allows multiple elements per 4-ohm amplifier channel, eliminating 70V lines in distributed systems, while two-pin Euroblock connectors, IP65 construction with the included IP accessory, and dedicated K-Array amplifier presets round out the installation package. A white version is available as the Vyper KV52FW II, and a recessed in-wall version as the Vyper KV52FR II.

Key Features

• Wide 60° x 140° Coverage — Electronically processed driver signals widen vertical dispersion to 60°, covering near-field listeners and broad seating areas a narrow-beam element would miss.
• Ultra-Flat 22 mm Profile — At under one inch deep, the element mounts nearly flush to walls and ceilings for minimal visual impact.
• Eight 1-Inch Neodymium Drivers — Closely spaced cones deliver low distortion and 114 dB peak output from a half-meter chassis.
• Frameless Aluminum Chassis — The precision-extruded, frameless design supports clean bracketless application on any flat surface.
• Home Cinema Center Channel Ready — Mounted horizontally, the 60° dispersion suits center-channel duty in high-end cinema rooms, per K-Array's own guidance.
• Selectable 16/64-Ohm Impedance — Multiple elements can share one 4-ohm amplifier channel, removing the need for 70V lines in distributed systems.
• IP65 Rated — With the included IP accessory the element is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.
• Dedicated Amplifier Presets — Factory presets ensure optimized performance when powered by K-Array amplifiers.
• Premium Finish Options — Black, white, custom RAL, and 24K Gold, Polished, and Brushed premium finishes are available.

Typical Applications

• Conference rooms and boardrooms where seating extends close to the loudspeaker wall
• Multi-purpose rooms and all-hands rooms needing wide, even coverage from slim elements
• House of worship spaces with broad or tiered seating layouts
• Commercial meeting spaces and training rooms with low-profile distributed audio
• Broadcast studios requiring discreet wide-coverage playback

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the F in KV52F II mean?

The F models are K-Array's wide-dispersion Vyper variants. The drivers receive electronically processed signals that widen vertical coverage from 10° on the standard KV52 II to 60° on the KV52F II, for applications that require wider coverage.

What amplifier should power the Vyper KV52F II?

The KV52F II is a passive loudspeaker with selectable 16/64-ohm impedance. Dedicated factory presets optimize performance on K-Array amplifiers, but any professional installation amplifier with appropriate power and DSP can drive it.

Is mounting hardware included?

The frameless chassis allows clean bracketless application on any flat surface; brackets for other mounting scenarios are sold separately. Creation Networks can help select the right mounting package.

Can it be used as a home cinema center channel?

Yes. K-Array specifically recommends the KV52F II mounted horizontally as a center channel, where its 60° dispersion provides wide coverage across the seating area.

Is there a recessed in-wall version?

Yes. The Vyper KV52FR II adds a complete frame and clamps for recessed in-wall mounting with the same wide-dispersion acoustics.

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.
