THANK YOU
We at Laney are extremely pleased that you have decided to select a KC series product for
your sound requirements and we wish to reinforce your judgement by ensuring you get off
to a flying start by including this comprehensive user manual to assist you in getting to
know your equipment.
Before switching on please read this manual carefully since whilst you may well be an
experienced user no two brands are the same, and on reading this manual you will become
aware of the subtle advantageous differences that the KC series offers over its competitors.
UNPACKING
On unpacking your KC series please check carefully for any signs of damage that may
have occurred whilst in transit from the Laney factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event
that there has been damage please repack your unit in its original carton and consult your
dealer.
We would strongly advise you to store away your original transit carton since in the unlikely
event that some time in the future your unit should develop a fault, you will be able to
return it to your dealer for rectification securely packed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your KC product should be fitted with a three pin 'grounded' (or 'earthed') plug. Please
make sure that the mixer is powered from a 'grounded/earthed' outlet.
If changing or fitting a plug yourself, ensure that the applicable wiring code is adhered to,
for example in the UK the cable colour code for connections are as follows:
EARTH OR GROUND
NEUTRAL
LIVE
The KC series product should never be exposed to moisture or wetness under any
circumstances since this would represent a possible shock or fire hazard, and may cause
expensive damage to your valuable possession.
In the unlikely event that a fuse should blow, it is imperative that you or your engineer, use
a correctly rated replacement.
Details of the fuse required is printed on the rear panel of the amplifier, please take special
care to use a 'time delay' fuse wherever stated.

EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS
REPLACING FUSES: Your amplifier leaves the factory correctly fused. Fuses are fitted
to protect the user from possible injury and your amplifier from possible permanent
damage. Fuses can blow simply from old age, or because the wrong fuse is fitted. If
after replacement with the correct fuse, failure occurs again, it is possible your amplifier
or the power supply to it, has developed a fault.
Under these circumstances you are strongly recommended to consult your local dealer or
a qualified engineer.
Replacing the POWER fuse is a procedure that can be safely undertaken by the user.
In the unlikely event that you are required to replace a blown POWER fuse it is important
to ensure that a fuse of the value and type recommended by Laney is fitted.
Ensure fuse carrier when refitted, indicates correct supply volrage.
The power fuse is located on the rear panel of your amplifier.

should develop contact the dealer from whom you made the purchase and seek their
assistance.
