Common Features: 4 Two 1.4” titanium diaphragm tweeters matched with neodymium magnets 4 Straightforward rigging system allows splay angles from 0° to 10° 4 Made of sturdy, multi-layer birch plywood with tough black coating 4 XLR input and link ‘thru’ connectors as standard 4 PowerCON AC power input/output KT-8A / KT-210A 1 English Congratulations on your purchase of another great Phonic product. The KT-8A and KT-210A line array speakers were carefully designed so as to provide phenomenal performance in a low-weight, easilymanageable constructions. These active line array speakers provide extensive signal processing as well as reliable and robust amplification to provide phenomenal sound pressure levels in all manner of large-scale installations. We know how eager you are to get started – getting the speaker out and hooking up all your gear is probably your number one priority right now – but before you do, be sure to carefully read through this manual. Inside, you will find important facts and figures on the set up, use and applications of your brand new KT8A or KT-210A. Remember that safe operation of a speaker is of the utmost importance, so we strongly recommend that users heed all warnings and instructions listed in this manual. English The KT-8A and KT-210A feature balanced XLR input connection in addition to an XLR output/link connector. This is shown on the top left-hand side of the rear panel image above. In addition to this, the speaker features two RJ-45 connectors for utilizing the onboard CPU. By connecting the “LINK” port on one unit to the “IN” port of another, you’re essentially creating a network of the KT models. The MAINS INPUT connections allow power to be applied to the KT-8A and KT-210A systems. The systems are powered by the uppermost connection, while the lower connection (labelled “MAINS LINK”) is used to link to power additional units. FUSE & POWER Below the power connectors you can find a FUSE holder and main power switch. The power switch can be defeated within the KT series Windows software. In the event that the power won’t turn on, ensure that the power switch is activate within the PC software. If it is and power will still not turn on, check the system’s fuse has not blown. DIP SWITCHES DIP switches 1 to 5 of the KT series allow users to establish the ID of the unit. Each unit must have an independent ID for the KT series software to recognize the product within your network. DIP 8 being set to ON will enable ‘Initialization Mode’ for the KT-8A or KT-210A. When in this mode, the system can be restored and/or new firmware installed. FANS 2 The array configuration is accomplished through a 10° simple ‘pin-in-hole’ method of connection. The top 9° corners of the KT-8A and 8° KT-210A each feature a retractable joint bar. These 7° extend to be inserted into 6° each of the four slots at 5° the bottom of the next unit in the array. The four flight 4° pins chained to the unit can 3° be inserted in the appropriate holes to fix the units 2° together. 1° The flight pins have a but0° ton on the end that can be pushed to release the pin’s latch. This should be pushed when inserting the pin into the mounting holes. The pins should sit flush with the side of the unit and be unable to wiggle within the frame. To accomplish this, the pin must be inserted completely through the mounting holes on both of the KT units being joined in the array; through the outer-hole on the lower-part of one unit, through the second unit’s joint bar, and again through the first unit’s inner-hole. The lower-front corner of each unit features a single mounting hole, while the lower-rear corner offers 11 individual holes that will determine the angle between the two units. Connecting two units at 0° will create narrower, yet more focused, dispersion. At 10° the array will create a much wider vertical dispersion. JOINT BAR JOINT BAR PIN HOLES Two variable speed fans can be found on the rear of the KT-8A and KT-210A. These work in conjunction with the internal temperature control to ensure the speaker runs cool. Please do not obstruct the fans for any reason as doing so can be detrimental to the speaker’s performance and reliability.

KT-8 line array speakers should only be installed by experienced personnel with adequate knowledge. Phonic takes no responsibility for incorrectly mounted, suspended, or wired speakers, nor are we responsible for issues arising from equipment not inspected prior to use. When working with the KT-8 line array systems, the total working load should not exceed the resistance of each individual component. This includes flight pins, joint bars, flight frames and speaker cabinets. While the Phonic flight frame and KT-8 speakers have a maximum capacity of 1000 kg, consideration of other elements of the setup should be taken into consideration. This may including hoisting ropes and other suspension materials. Phonic suggests a safety ratio of 5:1. With this in mind, a total load of 200 kg should be the aim when creating your line array using the KT-8A or KT-210A and the appropriate Phonic flight frame. As previously stated, however, the total resistance of other components of the setup should be taken into account. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CARRY A LINE-ARRAY. Under no circumstances should you attempt to lift a line array by yourself. Mechanical winches and other hoisting devices are recommended. The KT-8A and KT-210A are equipped with internal crossovers for mid/highs. There is no crossover present on the woofer. Please note that incorrectly wired speakers may cause damage to the unit. Phonic recommends taking the utmost of care when wiring and/or connecting speakers. A 2-way crossover with a crossover point at 500Hz is best to separate low frequencies from the mid/highs. The ideal frequency range for the KT-8A’s 8” woofer is 60Hz to 500Hz, while the mid/high range works best at 500Hz to 20 kHz. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION The KT Windows software needs to be installed to your system before it can be utilized by the KT line arrays. Installation is fairly simple. 1. Insert the included CD into your computer’s CDROM drive and close the tray. 2. Navigate the disc to find the “setup.exe” file. Run in by either double-clicking the file or by rightclicking the file and select “Run as Administrator”. 3. Follow the installation instructions. 4. After installation is complete, the KT software can be run by running the appropriate software icon. 4 BASIC SETUP Making Connections 1. First and foremost, make sure the KT series is turned off and unplugged before making any connections. 2. Once you ensure the KT line array is off, you can make your input and output connections. Connect the main output of your mixer to the input of the first KT model in your array. The output connector on that speaker should be connected to the input of the next speaker, and so on. 3. The Ethernet connection of your computer or network should be connected to the ‘IN’ Ethernet port on the speaker. The ‘LINK’ port should be connected to the ‘IN’ port of the next speaker, and so on. 4. Using the included power cable, the ‘MAINS INPUT’ connection should be connected to an appropriate power supply. The ‘LINK’ connectors should be connected to the ‘MAINS INPUT’ on the next speaker. Continue this chain to power each speaker in the array. Power on the electrical outlet that the first speaker is connected to ensuring it is of a suitable voltage for the KT speaker. Software Setup 5. Open the Windows software. Click the “Search Device” button found at the top of the software. This will seek KT line array units in your network. 6. Once an appropriate COM PORT is found, click “Connect”. Once the KT is “Online”, it will appear within the software. You can double-click the image to use the software’s control functions. 7. It should be noted that power to the KT line array speakers is not activated by default. To activate the speakers, you will need to click ‘Online’ under S/W Power in the Setup menu. Please note you can also deactivate the physical power switch in this menu. FIRMWARE UPDATE The latest firmware for the KT series line arrays can always be found on www.phonic.com. To perform a firmware update, ensure the speaker is connected to the network and online. DIP switch 8 on the rear of the system must also be set to “ON” in order to receive the new firmware. 1. Select the Update pulldown menu and select “Firmware Update.” 2. Locate the update file in your Download folder (or wherever you saved the firmware update). 3. Select the “Update” button to update the firmware on your KT-8A or KT-210A. KT-8A / KT-210A MAIN SOLO BUTTON: This will solo the corresponding mix, whether it’s the INPUT mix or the HF, LF or MF. When a signal is soloed, all others will mute. This includes all other speakers connected to your network. This feature is useful for helping to detect faults in speakers while suspended. If you “SOLO” the “INPUT” of the speaker suspected of being at fault, all others will mute and you can demo the speaker individually and rule it out as the cause. ON BUTTON: The on button simply turns the corresponding frequency range on and off. Turning the “INPUT” off will effectively mute the speaker, while turning off the “LF” (low frequency), “MF” (middle frequency) or “HF” (high frequency) controls will cut off their respective frequency ranges. Please note that the KT-210A only features HF and LF while the KT-8A features HF, MF and LF. KT-8A / KT-210A LEVEL CONTROL: The main menu features a “virtual fader” that can be adjusted by simply dragging the fader up and down using your mouse. Click the fader and move the mouse up or down to adjust. LEVEL METER: Each of the individual level controls also features a level meter located directly beside it. When levels are obviously excessive, Phonic advises reducing them to reduce the risk of distortion. INVERT PHASE: Immediately below the level control and meter is an invert phase button. This will immediately invert the phase of the incoming signal, whether it’s the “input” signal, or the low, mid, or high frequencies. 5 English The “Main” menu in the KT Windows software provides a number of controls for each of the frequency ranges provided within the software. HPF English The KT software features a simple high-pass filter (HPF) to effectively remove low-frequency audio from your main signal. This can effectively remove stage rumble and other low-frequency interference that could ruin an otherwise perfect performance. It also allows the KT’s internal amplifier to concentrate more on actual program and ignore this low-frequency audio. ON BUTTON: The on button simply turns the HPF on and off. DISPLAY GRAPH: The HPF can be adjusted within the display graph. The small icon can be dragged left or right to adjust the cut-off frequency for the HPF. FILE: The file window will display the currently loaded preset for the HPF. This can be selected by pushing the LOAD button. SAVE: Push the save button to save the current settings of the HPF. These are saved locally on the computer and can be recalled at a later time. LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of the previously saved HPF settings. RESET: The reset button will return the HPF back to its default settings. TYPE: The type of filter can be adjusted with this pull-down menu. The default setting for this is 24dB/ Oct but other slopes are available. FREQUENCY: The frequency is displayed within this window located beside the TYPE pull-down menu. The frequency is adjusted using the icon within the display graph and can be set anywhere between 20Hz and 20kHz. 6 KT-8A / KT-210A GRAPHIC EQUALIZER ON BUTTON: The on button simply turns the 31band GEQ on and off. FUNCTION: The function button will allow you to select whether the EQ is a 31-band GEQ or 10-band PEQ. DISPLAY GRAPH: This plotted graph allows you to view the curve created by the graphic equalizer. METER: Located beside the display graph, these level meters provides up-to-the-second information on your GEQ’s signal input and output levels. Q CONTROL: This adjusts the ‘width’ of the bands of the 31-band GEQ. Use the left mouse button to lower the value or the right button to increase the value. FILE: The file window will display the currently loaded preset for the EQ. This can be selected by pushing the LOAD button. SAVE: Push the save button to save the current settings of the EQ. These are saved locally on the computer and can be recalled at a later time. LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of the previously saved EQ settings. RESET: The reset button will return the EQ back to its default settings. GEQ BANDS: Each of the 31 bands can be adjusted here. Frequencies available range between 20Hz and 20kHz. Simply click the virtual control and drag it up or down to adjust. The adjustment made will be visible within the display graph. KT-8A / KT-210A 7 English The KT software includes two types of equalizers that can be utilized. The first is a 31-band GEQ with an adjustable Q, while the second is a 10-band parametric equalizer with adjustable type, gain, frequency and Q. The equalizer can be utilized PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER English The KT software also includes a 10-band parametric equalizer that can be utilized instead of the 31-band graphic equalizer. Simply select the appropriate function button to activate the 10-band PEQ. ON BUTTON: This simply turns the PEQ on and off. FUNCTION: The function button will allow you to select whether to use the PEQ or GEQ. DISPLAY GRAPH: This plotted graph allows you to view the curve created by the graphic equalizer. Each of the EQ bands can simply be dragged (using the mouse) to adjust the frequency and level. METER: Located beside the display graph, these level meters provides up-to-the-second information on your PEQ’s signal input and output levels. PEQ ON/OFF BUTTONS: Each of the 10 bands has its own independent on/off buttons. When turned off, the corresponding band will no longer appear in the display graph. TYPE: This determines the type of of band used. A “PEAK” band will simply peak at the selected frequency/level, while a “SHELF” will level off at the selected frequency. A “HIGH CUT” or “LOW CUT” will remove all frequencies above/below the selected frequency. GAIN/FREQUENCY/Q: The gain, frequency and Q can be adjusted within these windows. The gain and frequency can easily be adjusted within the display graph by moving individual points, however all three can also be edited here. Push the left mouse button to reduce the values and the right mouse button to increase. FILE: The file window will display the currently loaded preset for the EQ. This can be selected by pushing the LOAD button. SAVE: Push the save button to save the current settings of the EQ. These are saved locally on the computer and can be recalled at a later time. LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of the previously saved EQ settings. RESET: The reset button will return the EQ back to its default settings. 8 KT-8A / KT-210A CROSSOVER TYPE: This determines the type of crossover the KT series will use. The default setting for this is a 24dB/ octave butterworth but a number of other types and curves are available. DISPLAY GRAPH: This will show the properties of your crossover, including frequencies, levels and the selected curve. HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF) FREQUENCY: This field determines the cut-off frequency of the corresponding crossover’s HPF. Frequencies below this point will be removed at a predetermined rate. The rate at which the frequencies below this point are cut is dependent on the selected “type”. KT-8A / KT-210A LOW PASS FILTER (LPF) FREQUENCY: This field determines the cut-off frequency of the corresponding crossover’s LFP. Frequencies above this point will be removed at a predetermined rate. The rate at which the frequencies below this point are cut is dependent on the selected “type”. METER: These meters show the KT crossover’s input and output levels. As this is a crossover, there are independent level meters for each the low frequency, mid frequency and high frequency outputs. FILE: The file window will display the currently loaded preset for the CROSSOVER. This can be selected by pushing the LOAD button. SAVE: Push the save button to save the current settings of the CROSSOVER. These are saved locally on the computer and can be recalled at a later time. LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of the previously saved CROSSOVER settings. RESET: The reset button will return the CROSSOVER back to its default settings. 9 English Both the KT-8A and KT-210A have an internal crossover. This essentially separates the high, mid and low frequency audio from your main signal to be sent to their respective speakers. LF is sent to woofers, MF is sent to mid-ranges and the HF is sent to tweeters. The KT-8A includes a three-way crossover (LF, MF, HF) while the KT-210 has a two-way crossover (LF, HF). LIMITER English The KT series software includes a compressor/limiter for each the high, mid and low-frequency audio. A compressor essentially reduces excessive levels by a pre-determined ratio. Once the output signal surpasses a user-set level, the signal over this level will be ‘compressed’ at the user-determined ratio. Once the signal then reaches the “limiter” threshold set by the user, it will be cut off at that level. Essentially, the signal level will not surpass the limiter’s threshold. The first page of the LIMITER section of the KT software simply has display graphs for each the lowfrequency, mid-frequency and high-frequency. Users can simply select these on screen to enter the limiter for that particular frequency range. In addition to the graph displaying the compressor/ limiter curve, these windows also include input and output meters and a gain reduction meter. The gain reduction meter will display the level that the signal is reduced when the compressor and limiter are activated. 10 LIMITER LF / MF / HF ON BUTTON: The on button will simply activate and deactivate the corresponding limiter. DISPLAY GRAPH: This plots the input/output levels of the compressor and limiter. The individual threshold (T) and ratio (R) for the compressor can be adjusted on screen by simply clicking and dragging the points with your mouse. LEVEL METER: Directly beside the display graph is an input and output meter. If output levels are excessive, the limiter can actually be utilized to help combat this. GAIN REDUCTION: This meter will display the level in which the limiter reduces the output signal. COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD: This adjusts the threshold of the compressor. Once your signal level passes the selected threshold, the compressor will kick-in at the set ratio. RATIO: This can be used to adjust the compressor input/output signal ratio. This essentially determines the level at which the signal will be cut after the threshold is surpassed. KT-8A / KT-210A OUTPUT GAIN: Increases the final output level of the compressor/limiter. RESET: The reset button will return the LIMITER back to its default settings. RETURN BUTTON: Clicking the circular button with an arrow will return the user to the first page of the limiter function. ATTACK CONTROL: The attack control adjusts the time it will take for the compressor/limiter to kick in after the signal rises above the set threshold. RELEASE CONTROL: The release control adjusts the time it will take for the compressor/limiter to deactivate after the signal falls below the set threshold. FILE: The file window will display the currently loaded preset for the LIMITER. This can be selected by pushing the LOAD button. SAVE: Push the save button to save the current settings of the LIMITER. These are saved locally on the computer and can be recalled at a later time. LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of the previously saved LIMITER settings. KT-8A / KT-210A 11 English LIMITER THRESHOLD: This adjusts the threshold of the limiter function. This works in conjunction with the compressor. A limiter could be seen simply as a compressor with an ∞:1 ratio. DELAY English Both the KT-8A and KT-210A feature a delay function. An output delay can be applied to the entire speaker or individual frequency outputs (high, mid and low). Adding a delay to an entire speaker array can help to compensate for distance between speakers in large multi-speaker setups. A delay time of one millisecond per foot (or 3 milliseconds per meter) that the speaker is away from the stage is the general rule of thumb in this application. This, however, is not always the case. Thankfully, the KT Network System allows the delay time to be set in “meters” or “feet” instead of “milliseconds”, taking a lot of the guesswork out of the setup. DELAY CONTROLS: These controls adjust the total delay time that would be added to their respective channels (input delay, low frequency, mid frequency or high frequency). The delay time can be adjusted in milliseconds, meters and feet. ON BUTTONS: The on buttons quite simply activate the delay function of the corresponding channel. 12 TEMPERATURE: The temperature option allows the user to set the ambient temperature of the current venue. This allows the KT Network System to calculate a more accurate delay-time when set in “feet” or “meters”. In addition to the temperature control, this section of the Delay function offers “time (ms)”, “feet” and “meter” buttons, changing the adjustable delay between these parameters. PARAMETER BUTTONS: Found on the bottom right-hand side of the KT Network System software, these three buttons allow users to select the parameter adjusted by the delay controls. Selecting “TIME” will allow the delay to be adjusted in milliseconds (recommended for experienced users), while “FEET” and “METERS” will allow the delay to be adjusted according to distance. When adjusting the delay by distance, Phonic recommends using the distance between the KT line array speaker and the front-ofhouse speakers. KT-8A / KT-210A SETTING CONNECT: The connect window within the setting menu simple provides the status of the currently selected KT speaker. When “Online”, it means a connection was successfully established between the speaker and the software. The “Connect” button should be pushed to establish a connection. POWER SETTINGS: The power settings provide indicators for the current status of the selected KT speaker. “ON” indicates that the speaker is activated while “Standby” means there is currently no sound from the speaker but it is in standby. The status of the KT speaker can be adjusted by the “S/W Power” buttons. “Online” will activate the speaker while “Offline” will put the speaker in standby mode. The power switch can be de-activated by the “Power Switch” option. Essentially the disable button will allow you to bypass the hardwired power switch on the currently selected KT speaker. KT-8A / KT-210A When requiring identical settings on multiple speakers within the array, Phonic suggests saving the scene after everything is set, then reloading these scenes on all subsequent speakers. This will save valuable setup time. DEVICE: The device ID will be displayed within this window, as set by the KT series’ DIP switches located on the bottom of the unit. Please note that every device connected to your KT Network System software should have its own unique Device ID. This allows the software to correctly identify each independent speaker. Directly below this setting, the current firmware version of the system can be found. Please remember, the latest firmware for your KT speakers can be found on www.phonic.com. 13 English The setting menu includes a number of properties that can be adjusted, including connection and power settings. SCENE SETTINGS: The scene feature essentially allows you to save all of your settings, including your MAIN, HPF, EQ, CROSSOVER, LIMITER and DELAY settings. The currently selected SCENE name will be displayed in the scene window. The SAVE button will allow you to save your scenes while the LOAD button will let you load up a previous saved scene. The “INT” button will initialize the system, basically resetting all functions back to their factory presets. PROTECTION CIRCUITRY English The KT series line array speakers feature a number of protection mechanisms in place to ensure no damage occurs to the speakers. This page offers clear, concise monitoring of many aspects of the KT series. CHANNEL REDUCE LEVEL (dB): These individual meters give an indication of when protection circuitry has kicked in and input levels have been reduced to compensate. VOLTAGE METER (V): This shows the voltage that the amplifier is delivering. This helps determine whether a channel is currently sending high voltage levels. TEMPERATURE (°C): This meter displays the internal temperature of each channel. Temperatures in excess of 100°C will trigger the protection circuitry. CURRENT METER (A): This shows the current that the amplifier is delivering to a load in amps. This is useful in determining if a speaker load is open or shorted. WATT METER (W): This shows the power level in Watts that the amplifier is delivering to speakers. This can be helpful in determining whether speakers are receiving adequate power or if they can handle more. The levels will reduce by 0.5 dB every 6 seconds and return to normal levels at the same rate once the issue has been resolved. DC OFFSET: This indicates if the DC offset protection was triggered on any channel (LF, HF and/or HF). AMP SHUTDOWN: These indicators show when an amplifier channel has shutdown. This could be in response to excessive heat, or potentially overcurrent protection. FAN SPEED: This meter gives an up-to-the-minute indication of the speed of the internal fan. When the speed hits maximum, over-temperature protection may kick in as a response. We suggest manually reducing levels to help avoid this occurring. POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE (V): This indicates the +/- voltage provided to channel groups (1 to 4 and 5 to 8). When the supply voltage exceeds +/- 20%, the power is automatically turned off.

KT-8A / KT-210A 17 INTRODUCCIÓN English Le damos la enhorabuena por comprar otro gran producto de Phonic. Los altavoces line array KT-8 lineares fueron cuidadosamente diseñados para proporcionar un rendimiento fenomenal. Su construcción le permite ser ligero y fácilmente manejable. Combinado con un crossover de 2 vías y amplificadores de potencia, los altavoces pasivos line Array KT-8 pueden crear niveles de presión sonora fenomenal y cobertura extendida para todo tipo de instalaciones a gran escala. Español Sabemos que está impaciente para empezar - conseguir el altavoz y conectar todo su equipo es probablemente su prioridad número uno ahora mismo - pero antes de hacerlo, asegúrese de leer cuidadosamente este manual. En el interior, encontrará datos y cifras importantes sobre la configuración, uso y aplicaciones de su nueva KT-8. Recuerde que utilizar el altavoz de forma segura es sumamente importante, por lo que se recomienda que los usuarios presten atención a todas las advertencias e instrucciones que figuran en este manual. CONFIGURACIÓN Para operar el sistema bi-amp requiere dos canales de amplificación. Es posible conectar el Tweeter / de gama media y el Woofer, a sus respectivos canales de amplificación con un solo cable. Esta configuración garantiza una reproducción de sonido más fiel, mayor dinamismo y un aumento significativo en la presión acústica. 1+ + 1- - LF HF CARACTERÍSTICAS 4 Woofer de 8”, Woofer de gama media de 6.5” con bobinas de voz de 2” 4 Tweeter de 1.4” con diafragma de titanio e imanes de neodimio (Dos) 4 Potencia nominal (RMS): 150 vatios (LF), 110 vatios (MF / HF) 4 Impedancia nominal: 16Ω (LF), 8Ω (MF / HF) 4 Nivel de presión acústica máxima: 128 dB (Pico) 4 Dispersión horizontal 120°, vertical 10° 4 Sistema de aparejo sencillo permite ángulos de separación de 0° a 10° 4 Respuesta de frecuencia excepcionalmente amplia: 70Hz a 19KHz (-3 dB) 4 Configuración Bass-reflex para una respuesta de gama baja ampliada 4 Hecho de múltiples capas de abedul contrachapado con revestimiento resistente negro 4 Dos conectores Neutrik NL4 resistentes al agua y al polvo 2+ 2- X-OVER MF CONECTORES El KT-8 cuenta con un conector de altavoces de 4 pines NL4. Esto proporciona conectores positivos y negativos para el Woofer de baja frecuencia, y el Tweeter de gama media. El altavoz line-array KT-8 posee ambos conectores “IN” y “THRU” en el panel posterior. El conector marcado “IN” conecta el amplificador al altavoz, mientras que el conector “THRU” encadena altavoces adicionales para compartir el poder del amplificador.

Phonic sugiere un cable de calibre 10 para distancias más largas. Tenga en cuenta que muy largas distancias pueden resultar en pérdida de resistencia. La imagen de arriba indica la polaridad de cada conductor que se encuentra en el conector NL4. Por favor, asegúrese que este cableado es seguido para garantizar el funcionamiento correcto del altavoz.

Cada esquina superior de la KT-8 dispone de una articulación retractable. Estas se extienden para ser insertadas en cada una de las cuatro ranuras en la parte inferior de la siguiente unidad. Los pines de bola de pasador encadenados a la unidad pueden ser insertados en los orificios adecuados para fijar las unidades juntas. Los pines de bola de pasador tienen un botón en el extremo que se puede empujar para liberar el pestillo de la clavija. Esto debe ser empujado al insertar la clavija en los orificios de montaje. Los pines de bola de pasador deben estar al ras de la unidad, y esta debería ser incapaz de mover dentro del marco de construcción. Para lograr esto, el pin bola de pasador debe insertarse completamente a través de los orificios de montaje en ambas unidades KT-8; a través de los orificios de montaje situados en la parte inferior de la unidad, a través de la barra de articulación de la segunda unidad, y en el centro de la primera unidad. La esquina inferior, en la parte frontal de cada unidad cuenta con un orificio de montaje. Mientras que la esquina inferior en la parte trasera de la unidad ofrece 11 orificios de montaje individuales que van a determinar el ángulo de dispersión acústica entre las dos unidades. Si conecta dos unidades a 0 ° creará una dispersión acústica más estrecha, pero más centrada. A los 10° las unidades crearán una dispersión vertical mucho más amplia. 2 Español Baja (-) MONTAJE English Los cables utilizados para conectar los altavoces KT-8 deben tener un diámetro adecuado. Ese diámetro se determina según la longitud de los cables utilizados. La resistencia presentada por el cable reducirá la potencia de salida de la señal cuando esa está transferida a través largas distancias. Siendo este el caso, un cable de menor diámetro se debe utilizar en distancias más largas.

Bajo ninguna circunstancia se debe intentar levantar un A rray por sí mismo. Se recomienda utilizar diversos dispositivos mecánicos de elevación. El KT-8 está equipado con un Crossover pasivo interno para medias/altas. No hay Crossover presente en el Woofer. Tenga en cuenta que los altavoces incorrectamente cableados/montados pueden causar daños a la unidad. Phonic recomienda tomar el máximo cuidado al realizar el cableado y / o la conexión de los altavoces. Un Crossover de 2 vías con un punto de corte en 500Hz es mejor separar las frecuencias bajas de las frecuencias medias/altas. El rango de frecuencia ideal para el Woofer de 8” del KT-8 es de 60 Hz a 500 Hz, mientras que la gama media/alta funciona mejor de 500 Hz a 20 kHz. English Le pedimos que lea todas las instrucciones de seguridad, las cuales se encuentran junto la página 1 de esta sección del manual. Los altavoces KT-8 sólo deben ser instalados por un personal experimentado con el conocimiento adecuado. Phonic no se responsabiliza de los altavoces montados incorrectamente que esos sean, suspendidos o cableados, ni somos responsables de un equipo que no ha sido inspeccionado antes de su uso. Cuando se trabaja con los sistemas line Array KT-8, la carga total nunca debería superar la capacidad de resistencia de cada componente individual. Esto incluye Los pines de bola de pasador, articulaciones de barras, marco de construcción de suspensión y de los altavoces. Mientras que el marco de construcción de suspensión de los altavoces KT-8 de Phonic tiene una capacidad de resistencia máxima de 1.000 kg, el examen de otros elementos de la instalación debe ser tomado en consideración. Esto puede incluir cables y otros materiales de suspensión. Phonic sugiere una margen de seguridad basada en 1/5 (un quinto) de la capacidad de resistencia de peso en total. Con esto en la mente, el peso máximo del conjunto de Altavoces KT-8 / (Array) no debería alcanzar más de 200 kg utilizando el marco de construcción de suspensión de Phonic FF640. Como se indicó anteriormente, sin embargo, el peso y la resistencia total de otros componentes de la configuración deben ser tomados en cuenta.

The KT-8 speakers are then powered by at least two separate power amplifiers. A crossover point of 500 Hz is suggested. For information on wiring the NL4 connectors of the KT-8 please consult page 2 of this manual. The array configuration has each speaker at a 10 degree angle. This provides wider vertical coverage, able to cover longer distances for larger audiences. Configurations can vary. For more direct, robust audio, for example, the top two or three speakers can be mounted at a 0 degree angle, while the lower speakers can sit at 8 or 10 degrees. See the “Suggested Configuration” section for one such example. KT-8A KT-8 KT-8A // KT-210A KT-210A iAMP3020 AMPLIFIERS / AMPLIFICADORAS En la configuración anterior, la mezcla frontal se envía a un cruce/Crossover de 2 vías antes de ser enviada a los amplificadores de potencia. Los altavoces KT-8 son entonces alimentados por (al menos) dos amplificadores de potencia separados. Para obtener información sobre el cableado de los conectores NL4 del KT-8 por favor consulte la página 2 de este manual. Cada altavoz de la configuración Array está colocado en un ángulo de 10 grados. Esto proporciona una cobertura vertical más amplia, capaz de cubrir grandes distancias para grandes audiencias. Las configuraciones pueden variar. Para un audio más robusto y más directo, por ejemplo, los dos o tres altavoces de la parte superior del Array se pueden montar en un ángulo de 0 grados, mientras que los altavoces inferiores pueden ajustar en 8 o 10 grados. Vea la sección “Configuraciones sugeridas” para observar este ejemplo. 1 DIMENSIONS DIMENSIONES Appendix Apéndice 380 / 15 640 / 25.2 380 / 15 640 / 25.2 240 / 9.4 240 / 9.4 8° Measurements are shown in mm/inches Todas las medidas están mostradas en mm/pulgadas 2 KT-8A / KT-210A NOTES Appendix Apéndice KT-8A / KT-210A 3
