Italian manufacturer K-array has been busy developing several new additions to its product portfolio across the K-ARRAY, KSCAPE and KGEAR brands ahead of ISE 2026.
K-array has presented at the show the new Thunder KSCARDIO412P cardioid subwoofer and the Koral KO102 compact column loudspeaker. Other highlights from across the K-array group brands include the new KSCAPE CORE controller which brings together audio and lighting, the KGEAR GT8 full-range point source loudspeaker and the K-ARRAY Capture KMC20 MKI line-array microphone – all on show on booth 7G300.
“We are excited to debut so many new innovations from across the K-array brands at ISE 2026,” explained Lorenzo De Poi, brand manager at K-array. “We have been very focused on identifying and bridging any gaps in our product portfolio. Our goal is to offer installers and designers a complete portfolio of solutions to work with from a single, trusted, high-performance ecosystem of products.”
The new Koral KO102 highlights K-array’s approach to blending performance technology with sleek, discreet product design. Combining controlled directivity with a minimal footprint, the KO102 provides the output of a larger system whilst remaining visually discreet enough for premium AV applications, such as high-end hospitality venues, retail, corporate and more.
From discretion to power, the exciting addition of Thunder KSCARDIO412P marks K-array’s first foray into the world of cardioid subwoofers. Engineered to deliver powerful low-frequency output whilst drastically minimising rear sound radiation, Thunder KSCARDIO412P is designed for professional live sound and fixed installations.
“The concept was to deliver a real, powerful cardioid system that is ‘plug and play’ and compact enough for touring and fixed installations, solving stage noise issues without complex setups,” explained De Poi. “With KSCARDIO412P you have more control, less feedback, and versatility without performance loss in both horizontal and vertical positions in a lightweight package, making it a smart choice for clubs, touring and live events.”
Adding to this impressive line-up is CORE, an intelligent control system engineered to deliver effortless integration and simplified management of both audio and lighting within K-array’s KSCAPE ecosystem. Designed to serve as the central brain of any KSCAPE RAIL system, CORE transforms complex technological elements into a single, cohesive experience for architectural applications, offering flexibility with either direct RAIL mounting or remote control unit installation options. In corporate spaces, CORE enhances efficiency and communication, ensuring rapid setup, whilst hospitality environments benefit from the atmosphere of the perfect alignment of light, sound and control.
The KGEAR brand will also welcome a new development to its GT family of products: the GT8. A compact point-source loudspeaker designed for versatile use in small venues, retail spaces, worship environments and portable PA systems, the G8 preserves the same clean voicing and practical design philosophy that defines the rest of the series. A key strength of the GT8 is its ability to be arrayed both vertically and horizontally, enabling scalable system configurations from distributed setups to multi-cabinet clusters. Dual SpeakOn NL4 connectors and an 8-ohm impedance ensure straightforward integration into existing installations or rental inventories.
Finally, a much-anticipated addition to K-ARRAY’s KMC microphone portfolio comes in the form of the new Capture KMC20 MKI, an ultra-slim line array microphone featuring upgraded capsules, built-in preamp, 3D-printed steel body, integrated XLR cable and new mounting accessories. “We created the new Capture KMC20 MKI to deliver superior audio performance, enhanced durability whilst maintaining that elegant, discreet form-factor that characterises the original KM20,” confirmed De Poi. “The improvements we’ve made enhance performance, durability and improve overall system value, making the MKI a more compelling choice in a range of modern audio environments, from meeting rooms to houses of worship.”
Experience innovations from across the K-array ecosystem at the on-stand demo room on booth 7G300. The K-array team also invites attendees to join them on the booth daily from 5 pm onwards for a taste of traditional Tuscan hospitality during their unmissable K-Experience Happy Hour.
