K-array Launches Blueline Series of Loudspeakers Audio specialist Sennheiser announces the launch of the Blueline series of loudspeakers from its distributed brand K-array. The first product to be launched is the KB1, a powered line-array system featuring a 12'sub-woofer and eight 3" drivers. It weighs 44 pounds, features a carrying case, and is designed to be plug-and-play. The system can be customized using a PC via an integrated USB connector. On-board digital processors and a digital four-input mixer allow users to modify input levels, EQ parameters, add multi-effects, and compress and regulate output channels. A padded cover is included. PC Bryant, a blues, jazz and R&B guitarist who has played with Ben E King, Sidney Youngblood and others, tested the KB1 at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt, Germany last March: "It was very clear with lots of power in the front," he commented. "The speaker has a well-balanced sound with highs, mids, lows--everything. Above all I appreciated the feeling that this is an honest system, despite the potential to mix the sound. I could just sing, and with the KB1 what I sing is what you get."
