KGEAR releases GH4 and GP12A

K-array brand KGEAR has added two products to its growing catalogue. First is the GH4 ultra-compact point source 4-inch satellite that features a high-performance, full-range driver. Thanks to the cabinet design in the shape of a cube, the GH4’s dispersion pattern reportedly guarantees a much lower emission on the back side of the speaker, improving sound control and preventing loss of energy in unwanted directions.

The robust stainless steel enclosure design with IP64 rating provides durability even in the worst outdoor conditions, while the matte black or white textured finish gives the GH4 a sleek look to match any environment. The unit can be used as a single point source speaker, as well as mounted to create an array with multiple units to obtain even higher performance and directivity. The size-to-performance ratio and flexibility make the GH4 suitable for a wide range of fixed installations, such as small- and medium-sized live venues and pubs/clubs, residential entertainment, as well as large-scale deployments for broadcast, theatres, hospitality, transportation hubs, theme parks and houses of worship.

GP12

Second is the GP12A, a portable high-performance subwoofer and column system that features a 12-inch subwoofer with a ferrite magnet and a modular line array column with 16 2-inch drivers with neodymium magnets, a combination that KGEAR has engineered to deliver a high SPL in a compact format. The active version has a 4x 750W RMS Class-D amplifier with programmable DSP and it can drive up to three full GP12 passive systems at the same time.

The column drivers feature an alternating angle pattern that increases the dispersion up to 140° on the horizontal plane to provide an immersive sound field while assuring a long throw and a narrow vertical dispersion. The GP12A comes with four factory presets to adapt to any needs. Thanks to its flexibility, quick setup and compact form factor, the GP12A/GP12 is an effective solution for small and medium temporary and fixed applications where performance-to-size ratio is important, such as small stages, tradeshows, broadcast and corporate.
