Introduction

Design column speakers

The KYRA column speakers range is the elegant result of research in the field of phased array acoustics. The selection of the highest quality materials including aluminum cone 2" drivers guarantee an extraordinary detail and clarity for music and speech, which is uncommon for any kind of column speaker available from the market. It makes them perfectly lend themselves to a wide variety of applications in acoustic difficult environments such as churches, auditoriums, presentation and meeting rooms where audibility and intelligibility of music and speech have the highest importance.

They are housed in slim and elegant constructed enclosures made out of aluminum materials and finished with finely perforated grilles. An included mounting bracket with minimum distance to the wall allows swivelling and down—tilting for perfect directional placement.

They come in three different models (KYRA6, KYRA12 and KYRA24) in terms of length and driver count, all are constructed with the identical high-quality aluminum cone full range drivers. Each of them with their specific pattern in terms of dispersion and throw distance. They offer solutions for uniform acoustic performance in any type of system in reverberant venues, while reducing echo and microphone feedback to optimize the intelligibility of music & speech.

The KYRA24 design column speaker consists of 24 x 2" high-quality aluminum cone full-range drivers, delivering extraordinary clarity and detailed sound. The overall continuous power handling reaches 240 Watt with a maximum power of 480 Watt and the overall impedance of 4Ω allows it being connected to any low impedance power amplifier.

Installing the KYRA

Mounting the speaker

Every KYRA speaker comes delivered with a two-way revolving bracket, making it possible to install the speaker at each position and focusing it into the desired direction. The metal constructed bracket ensures a solid and secure mounting of the loudspeaker to any possible location.

It consists of two different parts, whereof the first part should be installed to the rear side of the loudspeaker. It can be assembled on different heights on the rear of the speaker, depending on the mounting possibilities and required installation height. It is fixated to the loudspeaker cabinet by inserting the 2 supplied mounting screws into the pre-drilled and threaded holes at the back of the speaker cabinet. The KYRA24 comes with two different speaker parts included, which can be selected depending of the required incline angle.

The second part is a wall plate which has to be fixed to the wall by at least four screws (preferably six). The type of used fasteners shall be chosen according to the most suitable type for the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, ...). The mounting holes are provided according to the positions indicated in the following drawing.

Once both speaker part and wall part are safely attached to their positions, the protective finishing cover can be assembled over the wall plate by clicking it. Afterwards the speaker can be assembled to the wall bracket by bringing both parts together and tightening them through the button head bolt and nuts together through an hex drive key. The upper one can be used for adjusting the tilt-angle of the speaker.

Once installed, the speaker can be can be panned and tilted, focussing the loudspeaker into the desired listening direction. This is useful when the installation height on the wall is limited or the speaker is mounted from the side. Depending on the selected speaker part, the downward tilting angle can be adjusted within a range of 0^ and 6.5^ , or within a range of 6.5^ and 13^ . The maximum pan in both directions is 42^ .

Connecting the speaker

For connecting the KYRA24, the wires coming from the amplifier shall be connected to the 3-pin terminal block connector on the rear of the speaker. The polarity and pin designation is indicated on a label attached to the rear of the speaker and shown in the image below:
