Duck & Waffle, the renowned high-altitude dining destination, has elevated its sensory experience by deploying a sophisticated, low-profile audio infrastructure from K-Array. To meet the venue’s dual requirements for high-fidelity sound and architectural invisibility, a specialized system was chosen to provide uniform coverage without compromising the restaurant’s signature aesthetic.
The focal point of this technical deployment is a pair of two KF26 full-range speakers, engineered specifically for high-end hospitality environments where space is at a premium but performance cannot be sacrificed. Each ultra-slim chassis houses a coaxial transducer that delivers a consistent 90° horizontal and vertical dispersion pattern, ensuring that the targeted zone remains within a precise "sweet spot" of the sound stage.
The selection of the KF26 offers several critical technical advantages, most notably its variable impedance technology. With selectable 8Ω and 32Ω settings, these units allow for highly flexible system design and the ability to run multiple speakers in parallel without overtaxing the amplification stages. Furthermore, the rugged stainless steel chassis provides the thermal stability and durability required for continuous, high-duty cycle operation in busy venues, maintaining a smooth frequency response from 100Hz up to 20kHz.
To provide a comprehensive, full-range frequency spectrum, the system is reinforced by a robust low-frequency foundation featuring a combination of three KMT12P and three KMT18P passive subwoofers. These high-output units allow the venue to maintain a powerful, punchy low-end that anchors the room during high-energy periods, while the KF26 units handle the critical mid-high frequencies with clinical clarity. By opting for this specialized K-Array ecosystem, Duck & Waffle has secured a resilient, professional-grade audio solution that meets the reliability and precision modern hospitality engineering demands.
