CONNECTORS
The KT-8A and KT-210A feature balanced XLR input
connection in addition to an XLR output/link connec-
tor. This is shown on the top left-hand side of the rear
panel image above.
In addition to this, the speaker features two RJ-45
connectors for utilizing the onboard CPU. By con-
necting the “LINK” port on one unit to the “IN” port
of another, you’re essentially creating a network of
the KT models.
The MAINS INPUT connections allow power to be
applied to the KT-8A and KT-210A systems. The
systems are powered by the uppermost connection,
while the lower connection (labelled “MAINS LINK”)
is used to link to power additional units.
FUSE & POWER
Below the power connectors you can find a FUSE
holder and main power switch. The power switch can
be defeated within the KT series Windows software.
In the event that the power won’t turn on, ensure that
the power switch is activate within the PC software. If
it is and power will still not turn on, check the system’s
fuse has not blown.
DIP SWITCHES
DIP switches 1 to 5 of the KT series allow users to
establish the ID of the unit. Each unit must have an
independent ID for the KT series software to recog-
nize the product within your network.
DIP 8 being set to ON will enable ‘Initialization Mode’
for the KT-8A or KT-210A. When in this mode, the sys-
tem can be restored and/or new firmware installed.
FANS
Two variable speed fans can be found on the rear of
the KT-8A and KT-210A. These work in conjunction
with the internal temperature control to ensure the
speaker runs cool. Please do not obstruct the fans
for any reason as doing so can be detrimental to the
speaker’s performance and reliability.

ASSEMBLY
The array configuration is
accomplished through a
simple ‘pin-in-hole’ method
of connection. The top
corners of the KT-8A and
KT-210A each feature a
retractable joint bar. These
extend to be inserted into
each of the four slots at
the bottom of the next unit
in the array. The four flight
pins chained to the unit can
be inserted in the appropri-
ate holes to fix the units
together.
The flight pins have a but -
ton on the end that can
be pushed to release the
pin’s latch. This should be
pushed when inserting the
pin into the mounting holes.
The pins should sit flush with the side of the unit and
be unable to wiggle within the frame. To accomplish
this, the pin must be inserted completely through the
mounting holes on both of the KT units being joined
in the array; through the outer-hole on the lower-part
of one unit, through the second unit’s joint bar, and
again through the first unit’s inner-hole.
The lower-front corner of each unit features a single
mounting hole, while the lower-rear corner offers 11
individual holes that will determine the angle between
the two units. Connecting two units at 0° will create
narrower, yet more focused, dispersion. At 10° the
array will create a much wider vertical dispersion.
