OVERVIEW

Kam believe in giving you products with the features and performance you
want at a price you can afford and the KT Speaker series is living proof of
our commitment to meeting that goal. The KT Speaker Series is a
combination of passive full range professional speaker enclosures and
active Sub bass speakers. The Sub Speakers have enough amplification on
board to power the full range speakers. The full range speakers stack on
top of the Subs (which have heavy duty wheels) to form a convenienient,

high quality portable PA system.

There are seven products in the KT series:
KT8 150W RMS passive full range speaker
KT10 200W RMS passive full range speaker
KT12 250W RMS passive full range speaker
KT15 300W RMS passive full range speaker
KT12 Sub 2 x 150W + 350W RMS active sub bass cabinet with

integrated additional amplification for satellite speakers

KT15 Sub 2 x 200W + 350W RMS active sub bass cabinet with

integrated additional amplification for satellite speakers

KT8, KT10, KT12 & KT15

These are all two way, full frequency passive loudspeakers and they need to
be connected to an external amplifier. They are ideal for use in conjunction
with a KT Sub but can be used with any suitably powered amplifier.

What sort of amplifier is right for your speakers?

So that you get the best sound and avoid unnecessary damage to your KT
Sereis speakers it is important that you only use them with an appropriate
amplifier.

Your speakers have a maximum power rating;
KT8 can tolerate a 150W Continuous or 300W Peak signal @ 8 Ohms.
KT10 can tolerate a 200W Continuous or 400W Peak signal @ 8 Ohms.
KT12 can tolerate a 250W Continuous or 500W Peak signal @ 8 Ohms.
KT15 can tolerate a 300W Continuous or 600W Peak signal @ 8 Ohms.

These figures are there to guide you in your choice of amplifier. If you use

an amplifier which is too powerful or not powerful enough you could
damage either your amplifier or your speakers so you need to find an

amplifier with a stated maximum power output that is just right for your
speakers.

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR KT8, KT10, KT12 & KT15 SPEAKERS TO
YOUR AMPLIFIER

Connection types

Your speakers have two ‘Speakon’ type connection sockets (pro multi-pole
speaker sockets) on the back. One is marked ‘input’ - this is the one you
use to connect the speakers to your amplifier. The second socket is
marked ‘through’ - this one is used for connecting several sets of KT
speakers ‘in series’ to the same amplifier.

On the back of your amplifier you will find a set of connections marked
either ‘speakers’ or ‘output’. The type of connections you will find will vary
according to the type of amplifier you have. You may need to consult your
amplifier’s user manual to find out what type of speaker output connections
your amplifier has and how you should connect your speakers to it. You will
need an appropriate speaker cable (there is a free cable in the box) to
connect your speakers to your amplifier. Each cable will need to have a pro
multi-pole speaker plug correctly attached at one end and the appropriate
connection type for your amplifier at the other.

• The Speakon type connections on your KT Sereies speakers are all
wired +1/-1. This is the industry standard Speakon wiring configuration.
It is important that you use cable that is configured in this way.

• Always ensure that the amplifier has its volume controls turned to
zero and that it’s mains power is switched off when making connections.

1. Place your amplifier and speakers where you want them but ensure that
you can access the connections.

2. Connect one end of each cable to the speaker output connections on
your amplifier and the other end of each cable to the ‘input’ sockets on your
speakers.

3. Make sure you follow the rules of stereo connection; If you are using a
professional Power Amplifier you should find that if you look at the front of
the amplifier the left channel is marked ‘A’ and the right channel is marked
‘B’. If you look at the back of the amplifier you should find that the speaker
output connections are also marked ‘A’ and ‘B’. Connect the left speaker to
channel ‘A’ and the right speaker to channel ‘B’.

4. Once you have connected your speakers, ensure that you have made the
right connection between your amplifier and the rest of your set up… DJ
mixer, CD player etc. You may need to consult your other equipment’s user
manuals for help with this.
