Connecting Multiple Vyper-KV
The top and the bottom connectors of a Vyper-KV loudspeaker
(the only exception is the Vyper-KV25 II / Vyper-KV25R II
featuring a single input connector) are paralleled so that the
input signal can pass through the Vyper-KV loudspeaker and
can be used to fed another Vyper-KV in parallel with the former
loudspeaker.
This wiring arrangement is useful in either distributed
loudspeaker systems and when stacking multiple Vyper-KV
loudspeakers in longer line array configurations.
Vyper-KV for in-wall installation are not designed
to be stacked for making longer line array.
A proper jumper wire must be prepared to let the signal exit
the former loudspeaker and enter the paralleled loudspeaker
preserving the signal polarity.

Always check the loudspeaker impedance
before connecting the amplifier.
The number of Vyper-KV loudspeakers that can be connected
in parallel to the same amplifier channel depends on the
loudspeaker model, loudspeaker impedance and amplifier power.
The following table shows the available impedance values for
every Vyper-KV model.
Model Selectable impedance
Vyper-KV25 II 8 Ω / 32 Ω
Vyper-KV52 II 16 Ω / 64 Ω
Vyper-KV52F II 16 Ω / 64 Ω
Vyper-KV102 II 8 Ω / 32 Ω
The parallel connection lowers the total load impedance:
caution must be taken to maintain the load impedance of the
paralleled loudspeakers above the amplifier's minimum loading
impedance.
Please refer to the
matching table available on K-array website
for details about the maximum number of
loudspeakers that can be driven by a single
amplifier channel.
Before connecting the loudspeaker cable to the amplifier:
• ensure the loudspeaker impedance matches the amplifier
channel rated load impedance, especially when connecting
multiple loudspeakers in parallel;
• load the dedicated loudspeaker factory preset on the
amplifier DSP.
Before driving the loudspeakers
ensure to load the proper loudspeaker factory
preset on Kommander-KA amplifier
