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 is introducing 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,” explains 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 blends performance technology with sleek, discreet product design. Combining controlled directivity with a minimal footprint, the KO102 provides the output of a larger system while remaining visually discreet enough for premium AV applications, such as high-end hospitality venues, retail, corporate and more.
The addition of Thunder KSCardio412P marks K-array’s first foray into the world of cardioid subwoofers. Engineered to deliver powerful low-frequency output while minimizing 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,” explains 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.”
Core, an intelligent control system engineered to deliver easier 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 changes 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 is designed to enhance efficiency and communication, ensure rapid setup, while hospitality environments benefit from the atmosphere of the 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 voicing and 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, an 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 characterizes the original KM20,” confirms 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.”
ISE attendees are invited to K-Array’s 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.
