K-array KH4 User Manual Download Page 9

KH4 and KS4 have a powerful DSP that manages all the functions of the speakers. Each system can store on board 16 preset that

can be recalled pushing the PRESET button. Once the preset will appear on the lower line of the display it will become automatically

available after few seconds. If you desire to set a preset as

default

you just need, once selected it, to keep pressed for five seconds

the PRESET button. After that, this preset will automatically be recall each time you will switch on your module. It is also possible to

remote each module by an RS485 serial port. In order to remote your system, you need to set each module on a different address, so

that, in your chain, no one module will have the same address. Two rotary encoders allow you to set the desired address number that

will appear on the top line of the display. Using the remote control software it is possible to mute each system, select a desired preset

loaded on-board or download a new preset pack.

For remote control operation please refer to REMOTE CONTROL AND SOFTWARE MANUAL in the next pages.

8.1 Cloner  function  &  preset  systems

It  is  possible  to  clone  the  entire  presets  bank  from  Speaker  to  Speaker  without  any  PC  connected.  We  will  call  SpeakerA

the  one  with  the  presets  bank  that  you  want  clone,  and  SpeakerB  the  one  that  will  be  upgraded.

Set  the  SpeakerA on  ID  99,  will  appear  CLONER  on  the  display

Keep  SpeakerB  on  any  ID  number  between 10  and  90.

Turn  off  both  the  speakers  and  connect  by  a  RJ45  8  poles  cable

Turn  on  the  SpeakerB  and  after  the  SpeakerA

SpeakerA will  start  to  clone,  on  the  display  will  appear  a  cont  down  (00/15,  01/15,  etc)

Wait  till  20  seconds  after  15/15

Change  the  ID  of  the  SpeakerA to  any  other  ID  and  turn  off  both  Speakers

Turning  on  the  SpeakerA check  that  it  is  on  mode  16x16  and  NOT  4x4.

If  SpeakerA is  in  mode  4x4,  just  turn  off  the  speaker  and  keep  press  the  Preset  button  during  the  turning  on

The  preset  are  cloned  to  the  SpeakerB
