Kling & Freitag treble launch at Frankfurt

6 February 2008

Germany - Kling & Freitag will present three new products at ProLight & Sound 2008. After extensive research, K&F reports that it has developed a line array that "unifies - without compromises - aspects of modern line array technologies into a premium quality full-range system". Every element is equipped with two 10" chassis and a tweeter unit with three 1" neodymium drivers.

Two versions of the vertical 7° coverage system - with 77° and 100° horizontal coverage - will be offered; they are combinable with one another, depending on use.

Kling & Freitag will also introduce the smallest speaker in their product range. The passive two-way speaker is equipped with a 5" bass chassis and a 1" dome driver with a coupled 'Waveguide'. With its uniform and wide coverage, the system is ideally suited for near field applications, says the company.

For high-power uses and highest-possible operating safety, the speaker is intended for use with the digital system controllers K&F CD 24 and K&F CD 44.

As the first power amplifier from Kling & Freitag to do so, the newly developed amplifier introduces the concept of an installation amp tailored to meet the demands of modern fixed installations. The two-channel system amplifier with a 19" format and 2 RU is based on linear servo power amplifier circuits with a conventional power supply unit and delivers 1 kW of output power at 4 ohms. Aside from the integrated DSP technology, there is a multitude of interfaces available for controlling and monitoring.
