1. INTRODUCTION
The K-array Anakonda KAN200 is a truly revolutionary speaker module born to meet the needs of places where few had dared
to go up to now. It is designed to be a problem solver in situations where a traditional speaker box can’t be used but where good
intelligibility, ultra-reliability and a sleek design are required.
The KAN200 is the perfect t for any distributed sound application. Its dedicated presets allow KAN200s to serve as a exible
PA system - either standalone or combined with K-array subwoofers. Its lightness and exibility help it to be easily integrated in
existing structures.
Each KAN200 module is 2m (6.6 ft) long. Up to 32 modules can be interconnected, creating a continuous sound line, 64m
(209,97 ft) in length. Integrated male and female speakon NL4 connectors hide all connections inside the “body” of the speaker,
which creates an elegant, seamless line.
Each KAN200 includes 2 fabric socks, one black and one white, which can be used to cover and protect the speaker from foreign
objects such as dust, and to quickly change the system’s color to suit the application. Wall brackets are included in the package
to make the installation as easy and as fast as possible.
All the components of the Anakonda KAN200 are designed by the K-array R&D department and made in Italy under the K-array
quality control system.

6. SAFETY
WARNING
Read all safety information below and operating instructions before using this device to avoid injury.
Safety and handling information
Warning. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, shock or other injury or damage to the device
or other property.
It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner.
Avoiding Hearing Damage. Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high sound levels and should be used
carefully. Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can adapt to a
higher volume that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Hearing loss get worse every time you’re exposed to a
sound level of 90 dB or over for an extended period of time. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening
and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Choking Hazards. This device contains small parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep the device and its
accessories away from small children.
Keeping the Outside Clean. Handle the device with care to maintain its appearance. To clean it, unplug all cables and turn it off. Then
use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia,
or abrasives to clean the device.
Carrying, Handling and Installing the device. The device contains sensitive components. Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush,
bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign objects into it.
Do not operate speakers for an extended period of time with sound distortion. This is an indication of malfunction, which in turn can
generate heat and result in a fire.
To reduce the risk of overheating , avoid installing it near heat emitting appliances, such as a room heater or stove.
No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed near the device.
Operate the device in a place where the temperature is between -20°C and 50°C (-4°F to 122° F). Avoid dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity when using it, as condensation may form on or within the device.
Set your device up on a stable retaining surface. Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit,
far away from people who can interfere with the stability of the system. In case of outdoor installation, assure that the wind does not
interfere with the system’s stability, taking extra securities like any certified anchoring systems. Doing otherwise may result in the
unit falling down, causing personal injury or property damage. The system should only be suspended by qualified personnel following
safe rigging practices. Secure fixings to the building structure are vital. To clarify any doubt you may have, seek help from architects,
structural engineers or other specialists.
This audio system is not intended for use in nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control
systems,or for any other use where any malfunction or failure of the audio system could lead to death, personal injury, or sever
environmental damage.
Do not make repairs yourself. Caution, risk of electric shock. Do not open the device, it contains potentially hazardous voltage.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the system yourself. Disassembling the unit may cause damage that is not
covered under the warranty. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be performed by manufacturing
trained service personnel. Do not connect the unit to an amplifier if you suspect that your device needs service or repair.

FE ATURES
Audio power signal on pins 1+/1- of the NL4 connectors is
fed into the speaker, while the signal on pins 2+/2- passes
through from one socket to the other. Thus, the signal can
pass through multiple KAN200 modules without additional
external cabling. Signal on pins 2+/2- can then be easily fed
into another KAN200, another series of KAN200 modules or a
2
different speaker with the insertion of a K-ANLINK (see p.11).
You can connect a series of up to 16 units (32 m) to a single
channel of a 4Ω amplier.

K-ANLINK (not included)
Use K-ANLINK to pick the signal up from pins 2+/2-
of a KAN200 NL4 connector to feed into a different
loudspeaker. When K-ANLINK is used to connect a
KAN200 to another KAN200 it integrates perfectly to
make a uniform-looking series of speakers.
