QUICK START
The iK81 and iK42 are not only powerful amplifiers but have extremely comprehensive processing
ability allowing complex systems to be designed to suit any application for many applications
however, all you need to do is recall the appropriate Preset, connect your speakers and source
and away you go. This section shows you how to achieve the quickest, most straightforward set
up using an iK42 to drive the XE range of monitors.
Loading XE500 (or XE300 Bi-amp) Presets
1. Connect the amplifier. The iK42 requires mains to be connected to its 32 Amp
PowerCon inlet, and an input feed, either balanced analogue to the input XLRs, AES3
to the dedicated AES XLR, or Dante to the Dante RJ45 port. XE500 and any of the
other monitors run in bi-amp mode can be connected directly to output Speakon 1 and
3 as these also have channels 2 and 4 respectively connected to pins 2+/- specifically
for bi-amp operations. See “AC Power Connection” and “Audio Connections” on page
15 for more details.
