Established in 1946, the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, (NASM), in Washington, D.C., has been undergoing a variety of renovations.

NASM’s transformation includes the reimagining of 23 galleries, brand-new exhibits, and updated presentation halls. To accurately transform the user experience, the NASM chose to install a custom K-array sound system that would create a deeply immersive and sonically impressive environment – a truly “out of this world” experience for visitors to the exhibit.

To achieve all required audio needs and maintain museum aesthetics, K-array provided 74x KP52, 3x KAN200+8, 4x KK52, 2x KV52, 4x KY52 speakers, 7x KTR26 and 2x KU44 subwoofers paired with 83x KA02, 2x KA14, 2x KA34 and 1xKA104 amplifiers to power the exhibit.
