About Your Subwoofer

Features

Footswitch Bypass

Turn off the subwoofer and listen to your mix through your full-range speakers so you can hear how it 

will translate to systems that don’t have a sub. Footswitch sold separately; most music retailers sell a 

variety of 1/4-inch footswitches that will work. Contact Kali Customer Support if you need assitance in 

selecting a suitable footswitch. 

Limiter Circuit

The WS-6.2 is equipped with a limiter circuit that will protect the speaker from unsafe operating lev-

els. In other words, you don’t need to worry about blowing up the subwoofer by playing it too loud. 

Unsafe playback levels will be plainly audible as distortion, indicating that the speaker is receiving too 

much input signal. If this is the case, it is recommended to reduce the volume of the playback mate-

rial. In some cases, the subwoofer will shut itself down to protect itself from harm. See page 18 for 

what to do if this happens to you. 

Small Form Factor

The WS-6.2 is less than half the volume of other subwoofers with similar output and bandwidth specs. 

This allows a variety of placement options that aren’t possible with a larger sub.
