K-Array Vyper KV52FRW II – White Recessed Wide-Dispersion

Product Overview

The K-Array Vyper KV52FRW II is a white recessed wide-dispersion speaker that pairs flush in-wall mounting with the broad coverage of K-Array's F-series Vyper elements. Eight 1-inch neodymium drivers receive electronically processed signals that widen the emission pattern to 60° vertical by 140° horizontal while delivering 114 dB peak SPL, making it an in-wall wide-coverage line array for conference rooms, boardrooms, and architectural audio where the loudspeaker must vanish into light-colored walls. Selectable 16-ohm or 64-ohm impedance supports multiple elements per amplifier channel without 70V lines. Browse the full lineup in the K-Array collection.

Product Description

The KV52FRW II is the white version of K-Array's wide-dispersion recessed Vyper II element, merging the broad 60° vertical acoustics of the Vyper KV52FW II with the in-wall mounting system of the Vyper KV52RW II. Its eight closely spaced 1-inch neodymium cone drivers are fed electronically processed signals that widen the overall sound emission to 60° in the vertical plane, covering listeners close to the wall as well as at distance, and suiting horizontal center-channel placement in high-end cinema rooms per K-Array's guidance. The complete frame and clamps secure the element flush into drywall or millwork, leaving only a slim 50 mm wide white grille against the wall while the chassis occupies just 37 mm of depth. Covering 150 Hz to 18 kHz, the element handles articulate speech and program audio, and selectable 16/64-ohm impedance allows multiple loudspeakers on one 4-ohm amplifier channel, eliminating 70V lines in distributed systems. A 2-pin Euroblock connector is included, IP65 construction supports indoor and outdoor installations, and dedicated factory presets optimize performance on K-Array amplifiers. The same element in black is 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 from a flush element.
• True In-Wall Recessed Design — A complete frame and clamps secure the element flush into walls so only a slim grille remains visible.
• Architectural White Finish — The white grille blends into light walls, plaster, and millwork without paint or covers.
• Eight 1-Inch Neodymium Drivers — Closely spaced cones deliver low distortion and 114 dB peak output from a half-meter chassis.
• Compact 37 mm Mounting Depth — The shallow recessed chassis fits standard wall cavities without special framing.
• Home Cinema Center Channel Ready — Mounted horizontally, the 60° dispersion suits flush 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 — The element is suitable for indoor and outdoor recessed installations.
• Dedicated Amplifier Presets — Factory presets ensure optimized performance when powered by K-Array amplifiers.

Typical Applications

• Boardrooms and conference rooms where seating extends close to the loudspeaker wall and no hardware may show
• House of worship sanctuaries and heritage interiors with white or light architectural finishes
• Government spaces such as chambers and hearing rooms with strict aesthetic requirements
• Multi-purpose rooms and all-hands rooms needing wide, even coverage from flush elements
• Commercial meeting spaces and training rooms using recessed distributed audio

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the F, R, and W in KV52FRW II mean?

F denotes K-Array's wide-dispersion variant with 60° vertical coverage, R denotes the recessed in-wall version with a complete mounting frame and clamps, and W denotes the white finish.

What amplifier should power the Vyper KV52FRW II?

The KV52FRW 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.

What is included for in-wall installation?

The KV52FRW II ships with its complete recessed mounting frame, clamps, and a 2-pin Euroblock connector. K-Array also publishes a drilling template for accurate cut-outs in drywall and millwork.

How does it differ from the KV52RW II?

Both are white recessed in-wall elements with identical dimensions; the KV52RW II projects a focused 10° vertical line array beam, while the KV52FRW II widens vertical coverage to 60° for rooms that need broader dispersion.

Can it be installed outdoors?

Yes. The KV52FRW II is IP65 rated and suitable for indoor and outdoor 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.
