ProAc K1
Due to the success of the ‘K Series’ floor-standing speakers, we were asked to produce a stand-mounted speaker for the range.
And, after years of research and development, we designed the K1.
Music is at the heart of the ProAc family and plays a vital part in the development of the ProAc ‘perfectly natural’ sound.
Originally founded by Stewart Tyler, ProAc is a 40-year-old family run business based in the UK designing and manufacturing high-quality world renowned loudspeakers.
A meticulous approach to sonic design is applied to the build quality of all ProAc speakers where only the finest components are used, reflecting the leading edge of audio technology with each new model.
Our loudspeakers work for everyone, now gracing the homes of music and home cinema lovers, as well as professional recording studios worldwide.
The ProAc brand has become a byword for sonic excellence.

The K1 stand-mounted speaker uses our specialist Kevlar cone and proven ribbon tweeter, which is used throughout the K Series range. We have however, made certain modifications to the cabinet, bass driver and tweeter to make it adaptable and suitable for a stand-mounted loudspeaker.
Although the K1 is a stand-mounted speaker, it has a surprisingly extended and accurate bass response with the familiar, beautiful midrange from the K Series bass drivers.
The unique K design cabinet, with its vent porting, has been incorporated into the K1 alongside a specially designed dedicated stand to complement and bring out the best in the speaker. The K1 stand is also available separately.
Considering its size, the K1 gives an impressive sound stage for a stand-mounted speaker with an almost electrostatic open midrange and very accurate bass, a characteristic of the K Series range.
We are sure that the K1 will not disappoint.
