K-WALL2L: A longer wall-mounting bracket.
- Assembly: Involves removing the bottom screw of the bracket, drilling two holes 180mm (7.08in) apart on the surface, installing the bracket with the K-shaped hole, unscrewing the back plate of the loudspeaker, and then matching and fixing the two parts of the bracket.
K-KBASEFL (for Kobra-KK102 only): A floor-standing base for the Kobra-KK102.
- Dimensions: 300mm (11.8in) x 300mm (11.8in) base, with a total height of 486mm (19.1in) for the column and 507mm (20.0in) for the base and column combined.
- Assembly: Involves passing a speaker cable through a hole in the plate, securing the K-KBASEFL to a supporting surface, plugging a jumper cable to the loudspeaker, and assembling the K-KJUNCT1.
K-KBASEFT (for Kobra-KK102 only): A floor-standing base with a shorter column.
- Dimensions: 300mm (11.8in) x 300mm (11.8in) base, with a total height of 560mm (22.0in) for the column and 507mm (20.0in) for the base and column combined. The base has a thickness of 40mm (1.6in) and a foot height of 45mm (1.8in) with 8mm (0.3in) clearance.
- Assembly: Similar steps to K-KBASEFL assembly, allowing up to 2x Kobra-KK102 loudspeakers to be aligned on top using the K-KJUNCT1.
K-KBASETK (for Kobra-KK102 only): A ground-stake base.
- Dimensions: 300mm (11.8in) x 300mm (11.8in) base, with a total height of 1000mm (39.4in) for the stake and 507mm (20.0in) for the column. The stake has an 8mm (0.3in) thickness.
- Assembly: Requires digging a hole and driving the K-KBASETK into the ground, then following the K-KBASEFL assembly steps.
K-KJUNCT1 (for Kobra-KK102 only): A junction accessory for connecting multiple Kobra-KK102 loudspeakers.
- Dimensions: 27mm (1.1in) width, 45mm (1.8in) height, 59mm (2.3in) depth. The full shield has a length of 1003mm (39.5in) and a width of 48mm (1.9in).
- Assembly: Used to align and connect up to 4x Kobra-KK102 loudspeakers by repeating steps for jumper cable connection and shield attachment.
K-KBASE3: A floor-standing base for Kobra-KK, Python-KP, and Kayman-KY line array loudspeakers. Also allows installation of column loudspeakers on top of Thunder-KS4 I / KS4P I subwoofers.
- Dimensions: 390mm (15.4in) x 310mm (12.2in) base, with a thickness of 26mm (1.0in) and a foot height of 31mm (1.2in). Features an M20 threaded hole.
- Assembly: Involves assembling the K-FOOT3 on top of the K-KBASE3 and using the joint to attach the column loudspeaker. For subwoofer integration, rubber feet are removed from the K-KBASE3, four M8 screws are unscrewed from the top of the Thunder-KS4 I / KS4P I, and the K-KBASE3 is fixed with four M8 screws on top of the subwoofer, then the K-FOOT is assembled on top of the K-KBASE3.
