6 Applications The K Series has been primarily designed for portable audio reinforce- ment. This includes a variety of uses in reinforcement for entertainers and presenters. The K8, K1 0 and K1 2 are all designed to perform well on their own in full-range audio. They can be used singly, in stereo pairs or in distributed or delayed systems. They per[...]

7 Installation Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brack- ets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation or placement. Any such condition sev[...]

8 Integrated Suspension P oints (suspended installations) The K8, K1 0 and K1 2 enclosures each feature three load-rated M1 0 installation points. As shipped from the factor y, each pick point has a rubber plug installed to retain the sleek look of the enclosure. These installation points are designed for use with the eyebolts included in the avail[...]

9 AC Mains Connect AC power to the I EC socket on the back of the amplifier by locating the I EC connector-end of the AC power cord and inser ting it fully into the I EC inlet on the power amplifier module. NOTE: T urn off the AC power switch before connecting AC power. The V-L OC K power cord has a special latching feature to prevent the po wer [...]

10 Input Connections K8, K1 0, K1 2 The K8, K1 0 and K1 2 are designed to accept MI C Level and Line Le vel inputs with several different connectors. There are three input connection points on the input panel. Channel A will accept MI C or Line Level inputs by connecting a male XLR cable or a male 1 / 4" phone cable (either TS or T RS type may[...]

11 Balanced Inputs: Connect to the plug as shown. Unbalanced Inputs: Connect to the plug as shown. If a 3 conductor (TR S) plug is used to connect an unbalanced source, Pin 3 and pin 1 must be connected with a jumper as shown. Input Connections KSub The KSub is designed to accept Line Level inputs connected either by male XLR or 1 / 4" phone ([...]

12 Output Connections K8, K1 0, K1 2 Both Channel A and Channel B have discreet direct outputs on female XLR connectors.

Additionally, signal delivered on the RC A (phono) [...]

13 DS P Features The K Series features advanced DSP (digital signal processing) circuitr y that per forms many functions. Some functions are set at the design/production level and are not user accessible. These functions include crossovers, time alignment, limiting and protection, thermal management and a number of proprietary features. QS C has de[...]

14 Subwoofer Polarity Polarity (sometimes improperly referred to as phase) refers to the voltage of an input signal and whether it is a positive or negative voltage at any given time. In most cases a positive voltage causes a woofer cone to move forward with respect to the cabinet orientation, and a negative voltage then moves the woofer cone backw[...]

15 Remote Gain Attenuator A 3 pin “Euro” connector has been provided to adjust the volume of the K Series loudspeaker or put the system into standby . (Figure 1 3) By varying the voltage on the pin between +5V (provided on pin) and ground ( pin), the volume can be linearly controlled. The voltage on the pin can be created by using a potentiomet[...]
