KADS-100/KADS-1/KADS-2 - Getting Started
Go to http://www.kramerav.com/downloads/KADS-100 to check for up-to-
date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware
upgrades are available (where appropriate).
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
Caution:
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning:
Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit
Warning:
Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause
electrical shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only
Warning:
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the
wall before installing
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your KADS-100, KADS-1, and KADS-2 away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust

KADS-100/KADS-1/KADS-2 - Overview
3 Overview
The KADS-100 is a Master Audio Controller for use with multiple, remote, active
KADS-1 and KADS-2 speakers. It features eight analog audio inputs, an S/PDIF
digital stereo audio input, and a USB connector for mass-storage audio devices.
RS-232 data and commands travel bi-directionally between controller and
speakers, allowing remote status requests and control of up to 99 daisy-chained
KADS-1 and KADS-2 speakers.
The KADS-100 can provide power to support up to eight KADS-1 speakers. By
adding a KADS-2 speaker it provides power to a further eight speakers. This setup
can be extended to control up to 99 speakers.
The KADS-1 is an active speaker with multi-channel, digital audio, RS-232 data,
and power provided over a single cable.
The KADS-2 is similar to the KADS-1 but it also has a power supply to allow
adding more speakers, either by daisy-chaining them or in a tree and branch
configuration.
The KADS-100, KADS-1 and KADS-2 feature:
High resolution audio
Highly flexible layout options
Eight logical audio channels for mapping to physical inputs
Presets for storing commonly used configurations
Power provision to compatible devices
Transmission up to 30m (100ft) between speakers. Total span of 240m
(800ft) for eight KADS-1 speakers without an additional power supply
Remote control using the built-in Web pages (KADS-100)
Standard 1U 19” rack size (KADS-100)

Each speaker can be individually configured:
Using the KADS-100
Locally using the supplied IR remote controller
3.1 Using the IR Transmitter
You can use the IR remote control transmitter provided to control the KADS-1 and
KADS-2 machine via the built-in IR receiver on the front panel, (see Section 8.4).

KADS-100/KADS-1/KADS-2 - Setting the Speaker ID
7 Setting the Speaker ID
Each speaker must have a unique ID, including those in installations with more
than eight speakers. You can set the ID of the speaker (between 01 and 99) using
the rotary switches on the rear panel of the speaker.
Note: ID 00 is reserved for system use and if used may cause the system to
malfunction.
Figure 8: Setting the Rotary Switches
To set the ID of a KADS-1 or KADS-2, (for example, 28 as shown in Figure 8):
1. Turn the KADS-100 off.
2. Using a small screwdriver, turn the left hand rotary switch to the required
number of tens; in this example, 2.
3. Turn the right hand rotary switch to the required number of units; in this
example, 8.
4. Turn the KADS-100 on.

8 Operating the KADS-100
The KADS-100 can be operated using either the front panel buttons (which are
shortcuts to the speaker setup menu of the last configured speaker) or the menu.
On power up, the KADS-100 scans for all connected speakers. This can take up
to 60 seconds.
Each of the eight analog inputs is mapped to one of the eight logical, audio
channels. The S/PDIF, microphone, and USB inputs can be mapped to one or
more of the eight logical, audio channels. Each of the eight logical, audio channels
can be mapped to one or more of the speakers.
8.1 Operating the KADS-100 Using the Front Panel Buttons
8.1.1 Setting up a Channel
When switching a channel to S/PDIF or an mp3 source that is defined as stereo,
the paired channel also switches to this source. Paired channels are:
1 and 2
3 and 4
5 and 6
7 and 8
Examples:
1. The mp3 source is selected as stereo, then:
If channel 1 is switched to mp3, channel 2 automatically switches as well
If channel 4 is switched to mp3, channel 3 automatically switches as well
2. The mp3 source is selected as mono, then:
If channel 1 is switched to mp3, channel 2 does not switch
If channel 4 is switched to mp3, channel 3 does not switch

KADS-100/KADS-1/KADS-2 - Updating the KADS-1 or KADS-2 Firmware
9 Updating the KADS-1 or KADS-2 Firmware
To update the KADS-1 or KADS-2 firmware:
1. Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com and download the latest firmware to
a USB flash-drive or PC, (only .kfw and .rbf file formats are compatible.)
2. Connect the USB flash-drive or the PC to the USB Program connector on
the rear of the KADS-1/KADS-2.
If you are using a USB flash-drive, it is scanned for relevant files, the LED on
the front panel flashes a few times, and the firmware is automatically loaded
to the KADS-1/KADS-2. The procedure takes at least 60 seconds.
If you are using a PC, browse to the folder where the firmware upgrade file
is stored.
3. When the procedure is complete, the speaker automatically reboots with the
new firmware and the flashing LED lights solid.

11 Protocol 3000
The KADS-100 can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote
controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000.
This section describes:
Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 11.1)
Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 11.2)
11.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax
11.1.1 Host Message Format
11.1.1.1 Simple Command
Command string with only one command without addressing:
11.1.1.2 Command String

CR LF
11.1.2.1 Device Long Response
Echoing command:
CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)
11.1.3 Command Terms
Command
A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').
Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.
Parameters
A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters ('0'-'9','A'-'Z','a'-'z' and some special
characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.
Message string
Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message
starting character and ends with a message closing character.
Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by
a pipe ( '|' ) character.
Message starting character
'#' – For host command/query
'~' – For device response
Device address (Optional, for K-NET)
K-NET Device ID followed by '@'
Query sign
'?' follows some commands to define a query request.
Page 50
42
KADS-100/KADS-1/KADS-2 - Protocol 3000
Message closing character
CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)
Command chain separator character
When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( '|' ) character
separates each command.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
11.1.4 Entering Commands
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications
software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial
or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key.
( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some
characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.
11.1.5 Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow
faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.
11.1.6 Chaining Commands
Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is
delimited by a pipe character (“|”). When chaining commands, enter the message
starting character and the message closing character only once, at the
beginning of the string and at the end.
Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.
A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.
11.1.7 Maximum String Length
64 characters
