K-array Introduces Anakonda: A "Bendable Speaker" Adaptable to Almost Any Integration EnvironmentAudio specialist Sennheiser announces the availability of the latest product from its distributed brand K-array. Anakonda is a bendable speaker that combines outstanding audio quality with an enormous range of configuration and installation possibilities. Anakonda is a viable solution for a variety of indoor or outdoor applications such as theme parks, museums, broadcast studios, and many others. Since each speaker element is bendable, the Anakonda can be wrapped around poles, columns, or mounted to curved or otherwise uneven surfaces. Speakers are available in six-foot lengths, and can link to up to 16 combined elements using the Anakonda's integrated NL4 connectors. The speaker's dedicated presets support a variety of configurations, including both standalone and combination use with K-array KMT Series subwoofers. "The Anakonda establishes a completely new set of possibilities for rental companies, integrators, and end-users," commented Vanessa Jensen, senior product specialist, integrated systems, Sennheiser. "The speaker's flexible design makes it perfect for both portable and installation designs, indoor or outdoor. With the Anakonda, it is now possible to get great sound just about anywhere." The Anakonda looks as great as it sounds. The speaker delivers crisp, intelligible audio while enhancing the aesthetics of just about any installation environment. Each Anakonda includes a wall bracket, as well as fabric covers in both white and black to enhance visual appeal and protect against dust. Adding to its flexibility, the Anakonda is compatible with other K-array products such as the KA40 amplifier and the KMT12 and KMT18 subwoofers. Each KA40 amplifier can drive up to 16 Anakonda (KAN200) elements per channel, and the KMT12 and KMT18 subwoofers can support up to eight Anakonda's per channel.
