Kling & Freitag SEQUENZA 8
Kling & Freitag (K&F) is setting new standards in professional audio technology with the introduction of the SEQUENZA 8 line array system. Designed for exceptional sound precision, maximum flexibility, and effortless handling, SEQUENZA 8 excels in both touring and fixed installations. Featuring patented TrueShape horn architecture and the revolutionary AutoLock rigging system, it offers an unprecedented combination of performance and efficiency.
SEQUENZA 8 has already proven itself as the main PA system in high-profile beta tests, including the European tour of Swedish band Dirty Loops, the PDC European Darts Championship (with several thousand attendees), and the Dreikönigsspringen ski jumping event of the Four Hills Tournament, where it delivered outstanding sound clarity to an audience of over 14,000 spectators. Both sound engineers and event organizers were impressed by its exceptional audio performance and game-changing rigging system.
The patented TrueShape technology enables tool-free adjustment of the horizontal dispersion in three modes: N (60°), W (90°), and XW (120°), with even asymmetric configurations available. Unlike conventional systems that adjust only part of the horn, TrueShape modifies the entire horn contour, ensuring perfectly even sound distribution across the entire working range of the high-frequency drivers.
The mid and low-frequency sections are equally optimized for maximum efficiency. Four specially developed 4" midrange drivers in bass reflex enclosures provide precise directivity, while outward-angled 8" woofers allow for a sleek and compact enclosure design. The intelligent arrangement of drivers and enclosures also delivers remarkable rear sound attenuation.
The fully redesigned AutoLock rigging system revolutionizes the setup process. The front rigging structure completely eliminates traditional ball lock pins, allowing for the fastest possible setup and teardown with minimal crew requirements. Additionally, the smooth side panels contribute to a clean, elegant, and highly functional design.
