Description
A 3-way tri-amplified full range system in a trapezoidal enclosure. Includes a 15 in woofer in a wave guide cavity with ARCT device, a horn-loaded 10 in midrange cone and a 2 in exit compression driver mounted coaxially in the wave guide cavity on a 55° x 40° constant directivity horn.

Applications
The KF850 Virtual ArrayT loudspeaker is the world touring standard, accepted in more technical riders than any other loudspeaker. True 3-way design dramatically improves the quality of vocal reproduction while the cone-driven midrange horn and horn-loaded woofer extend pattern control to the lowest octaves. Effective for large format permanent or portable applications.
