Let’s find out more closely, in the words with Romano Frenquelli, of the KGEAR brand, which enriches the Frenexport catalog and contributes to a wider and more diversified offer for audio installations.
Romano Frenquelli, Vice President of Frenexport and Director of the Italian company’s Pro AVL Division, introduces us to the world of KGEAR as follows: “This is a brand that completes our range of brands for installation audio systems. These are all collaborations that we have identified over time, in order to offer our customers a range of complementary solutions.”
Frenexport, therefore, confirms that it has a very customer-oriented approach, to which the company tends to offer a wide range of choices and adaptations to their needs. KGEAR, in fact, in the words of Romano Frenquelli, “lends itself particularly to those installations in which, in addition to the excellent sound performance, the client also requests compliance with a set of aesthetic requirements which involve, for example, the need for small size of the speakers and their ability to hide in the environment, with a very polite architectural impact.”
But if we really want to get a little closer to this fascinating brand, among the many distributed in Italy by Frenexport, we need to take a look at some products. We are advised, in the choice, by Romano Frenquelli, who suggests “the columns GF82 and GF22” which, according to him, “are having success because they allow the realization of even very complex audio diffusion projects with small speakers, which could be also considered furnishing accessories.”
In fact, the GF82 is a compact 8×2” Line Array column loudspeaker, equipped with K-array PAT (Pure Array Technology) and capable of delivering up to 100 W RMS. In short, it’s a product that combines the advantages of a line array such as control over long distances and dispersion, with a graceful and minimal design, with low visual impact and without absolutely sacrificing sound quality. The ABS housing makes the GF82 suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, as well as permanent installations for music and voice in hotels, bars, restaurants, retail, stations and conference rooms, or in residential environments. The GF22, on the other hand, is an ultra-compact 2×2” passive full-range point source column speaker that, despite a very small size, offers more performing bass than many other more standard design products, thanks to a bass reflex design of the cabinet and a an optimized driver filter.
For the best performance in music applications, it’s advisable to combine both products with a GS6 subwoofer, a compact 6” passive model, designed for indoor applications and for permanent installations in various environments, from shops to hotels, from restaurants to residential areas. Thanks to an integrated low-pass filter, the GS6 subwoofer requires no additional EQ or DSP and can be connected to the same line of speakers without any problems.
Also with regard to the KGEAR brand, Frenexport “follows the customer in the pre-sale phase, suggesting solutions after carefully listening to the customer’s needs and after analyzing the environment in which the installation is to be carried out. In addition to accompanying the customer during the implementation of the project” – concludes Mr. Frenquelli – “in the post-sales we make sure that the system lasts over time and we test the customer satisfaction and any requests for changes or expansions of the system.”
