Warning. Failure to follow these safety instructions 

could result in fire, shock or other injury or damage to 

the device or other property.

General heed and warnings

•  Read these instructions.

•  Keep this instructions.

•  Heed all warnings.

•  Follow all instructions.

•  Do not use this apparatus near water.

•  Clean only with dry cloth.

•  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s instructions.

•  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, 

stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

•  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

•  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table 

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. 

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/

apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

•  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when 

unused for long periods of time.

•  This loudspeaker system is intended for professional use.

•  Beware of sound levels. Do not stay within close proximity of 

loudspeakers in operation. Loudspeaker systems are capable 

of producing very high sound pressure levels (SPL) which can 

instantaneously lead to permanent hearing damage. Hearing damage 

can also occur at moderate level with prolonged exposure to sound. 

Check the applicable laws and regulations relating to maximum sound 

levels and exposure times.

•  Before connecting the loudspeakers to other devices, turn off the power 

for all devices.

•  Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to 

minimum.

•  Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker 

terminals.

•  Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance particularly 

when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load 

outside the amplifier’s rated range can damage the devices.

•  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required 

when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-

supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have 

fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or 

moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

•  K-array will not shoulder any responsibilities for products modified 

without prior authorization.

•  K-array cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use 

of the loudspeakers.
