Pinnacle

Fast Rigging, Flexible Deployment, and Precision Sound Control

In a professional audio market packed with line arrays and column systems that promise “easy setup,” very few actually deliver it. Pinnacle does and then goes several steps further.

Designed for speed, portability, and precision, K-array’s Pinnacle series simplifies rigging and mounting without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re building a touring system, installing a house of worship, or outfitting a corporate venue, Pinnacle is engineered to get exceptional sound in the air faster and keep it exactly where you need it.

Lightweight by Design, Built for One-Person Handling

One of Pinnacle’s most immediate advantages is physical practicality.

Each column is compact and light enough for single-person handling. That means:

  • Faster load-ins and load-outs

  • No heavy-duty hoists or oversized rigging points

  • Lower labor requirements

  • Reduced installation time

Despite the minimal weight, the system delivers powerful, full-range output from tightly integrated components — an uncommon balance of portability and performance. For both temporary events and permanent installs, this translates directly into real-world efficiency.

Precision-Engineered Rigging for Rapid Assembly

Rigging shouldn’t slow down a show or complicate an install. Pinnacle’s hardware is purpose-built for fast, repeatable deployment.

Columns connect quickly to extend vertical coverage, allowing engineers to scale systems based on venue size and throw distance. The modular approach ensures consistent coverage while keeping setup intuitive even under tight schedules.

In short: fewer tools, fewer steps, fewer opportunities for error.

Pure Array Technology: Controlled Coverage Without Compromise

Every Pinnacle system integrates K-array’s proprietary Pure Array Technology (PAT).

Instead of using separate HF drivers, LF drivers, and crossovers, PAT employs closely spaced full-range sources that operate without crossover points. The result:

  • Perfect phase coherence

  • High intelligibility

  • Wide horizontal coverage

  • Narrow vertical dispersion

  • Reduced floor and ceiling reflections

This focused beam control delivers consistent tonal balance across distance — often eliminating the need for delay speakers in reverberant spaces.

And when greater throw is required, multiple PAT columns combine seamlessly to extend coverage uniformly.

Discreet Design with Full Customization

Performance is only part of the equation. Pinnacle is also designed to visually disappear into architecture.

Columns are slim, discreet, and available in custom RAL colors, allowing them to blend into corporate environments, houses of worship, theaters, and concert venues without visual disruption.

Smaller size also gives designers greater freedom to position loudspeakers exactly where coverage demands — instead of hiding them where aesthetics allow. That means better audio outcomes with cleaner visual results.

Element-by-Element Angle Adjustment

Most column systems offer a single overall tilt angle. Pinnacle goes further.

Each column element can be individually angled, enabling engineers to:

  • Target audience zones precisely

  • Overcome balcony and rake challenges

  • Adapt quickly to changing room layouts

  • Optimize coverage without re-rigging entire arrays

Adjustments are fast and straightforward, ideal for venues that host multiple event types or touring productions that face changing room geometries.

Flexible Flying and Ground Stacking Options

Pinnacle adapts to the venue, not the other way around.

  • Fly up to eight columns for large-scale coverage

  • Ground-stack on subwoofers for stable floor deployment

  • Transition between configurations quickly

Whether permanent installation or mobile production, rigging remains consistent, safe, and efficient.

Integrated Modeling and DSP for Venue-Specific Tuning

Rigging and aiming are only half the story. Pinnacle systems are supported by advanced acoustic modeling tools and onboard DSP, allowing system designers to:

  • Simulate coverage before installation

  • Tune performance to the room

  • Maintain consistent clarity across the audience area

The result is predictable performance from design through deployment.

Engineered to Make Sound Deployment Easier

Pinnacle combines lightweight construction, fast rigging, precise coverage control, and architectural discretion into a single, purpose-built system.

For audio professionals, that means:

  • Faster setup

  • Cleaner installs

  • Greater placement freedom

  • Reliable, repeatable results

Whether you’re a system tech, installer, integrator, or venue operator, Pinnacle is designed to make your job easier while delivering sound that speaks for itself.
