1. INTRODUCTION
The K-array KMT21 is a full-featured audio system, featuring a 21” powered subwoofer, programmable on-board
DSP and multiple analog and digital inputs and outputs for creating a wide array of speaker congurations.
The KMT 21 features an integrated touch screen, providing intuitive control over the main DSP functions: input
/ output levels, signal routing, offset delays for subwoofer and speakon output (up to 12 ms., each) and overall
system delay (up to 330 ms.). All DSP functions, including EQ, can also be remote controlled via software over
USB or RS485 (3-pin XLR).
The KMT series provides two balanced analog line level inputs and a two-channel AES/EBU digital input. An
integrated class D amplier delivers 2 x 2000 W at 4Ω, with a max THD of 1% (EIAJ test @ 1KHz). The KMT21
features multiple analog and digital outputs, including a Speakon output to connect a wide array of passive
speakers including mid-high modules (KP52, KP102) or additional passive subwoofers (KMT21P). To optimize
performance, the on-board DSP includes up to 40 programmable presets. The rst 8 have been designed by
K-array, the additional 32 slots can be used to create, save, and store personal presets using the K-framework
software.
The KMT series’ unique four-corner port conguration provides symmetrical back loading to the speakers, for
extended bass response with very low distortion. The port conguration also provides incredible structural strength
to the cabinet, despite its light weight. Pocket handles and an M20 thread mount position for attaching mid-high
speakers makes the Redline series convenient to use and ideal for medium throw applications in theaters, concert
halls, and Audio/Video installations.
All KMT components are designed by K-array and custom-made under K-array’s quality control system.

6. SAFETY
WARNING
• Professional loudspeakers are capable of
producing extremely high sound levels and should
be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and
can result from extended exposure to levels in
excess of 90dB.
• Always use loudspeaker systems in a safe manner.
Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high
volume.
• Only install the speaker in a location that can
structurally support the weight of the unit. Doing
otherwise may result in personal injury and property
damage.
• The system should only be suspended by qualied
personnel, following safe rigging practices. If
there is any doubt, seek professional help from
architects, structural engineers or other specialists
before proceeding.
• Do not operate the speaker for an extended period
of time if the sound is distorted. This is an indication
of malfunction, which can cause heat build-up and
result in a re.
• Only connect the power supply to an appropriate
power adapter.
• Do not install the speaker in wet or humid locations
without using weather protection.
• Do not allow water or any foreign object to get inside
the speaker. Do not put objects containing liquid on,
or near, the unit.
• To reduce the risk of overheating the amplier,
avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. Do not install the
unit near heat emitting appliances, such as a room
heater or stove.
• Never place open ame sources, such as lighted
candles, near the device.
• The speaker should be placed in a location that
does not interfere with its proper cooling.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The unit

be performed only by factory trained service
personnel.
• Be sure that the adapter has the correct voltage
value.
