How the level was stated. Calculated for 1 m from sensitivity and amplifier peak power (full-space for full-range); not a measurement. Page also prints a continuous figure of 122 dB at 1 m.

Coverage definition. Printed as nominal coverage angle, axisymmetric (so H = V). The K.2 series spec table labels it -6 dB; the per-model page does not repeat the definition.

Notes. No sensitivity printed. Pole cup mounts (standard and 7.5 degree down-tilt) listed; pole socket diameter not printed on this page. Dimensions labelled H x W x D on page.

Coverage shape

Horizontal: 105° (seen from above)
Vertical: 105° (seen from the side)

What the figures mean at distance

Taking 128 dB at 1 m on axis and the free-field rule of 6 dB lost per doubling of distance, this is the most the speaker can reach and how wide and high its nominal coverage is at each distance. A real room adds reflections, and a speaker is not normally run at its maximum.

See level and distance and coverage angles for how these are worked out.

Planning estimate only. The calculation ignores reverberation, reflections and room modes. See terms and disclaimer.
