7.1 aC PoweR
The amplifier module and any audio equipment connected to it (mixing consoles, processors, etc.) must
be properly connected to the AC power distribution, preserving the AC line polarity. Every grounding
point must be connected to a single node or common point using the same cable gauge as the neutral
and line cable. Bad grounding connections between speakers and the rest of the equipment may
produce noise, hum or serious damage to the input/output stages in the system’s electronic equipment.
Before applying AC to any K-array self-powered speaker,
ensure that the voltage potential difference between neutral
and earth ground is less than 5 VAC.

7.2 volTaGe ReQUIReMenT
The auto-range power supply feature allows the amp unit to operate safely and without any audio
discontinuity when the AC voltage stays within a nominal range of 100-240V (operating range 85- 265V)
at 50 to 60Hz. Please verify that your AC mains power connections are capable of satisfying the power
rating for the device.
CAUTION: Do not connect the system to AC power mains
exceeding 265V. Doing so will cause significant damage to the
device and create serious risk for users!
7.3 CURRenT ReQUIReMenT
The amplifier presents a dynamic load to the AC mains power, drawing additional current as operating
levels increase. Different cables and circuit breakers heat up at varying rates, so it is essential to
understand current ratings and how they correspond to circuit breaker and cable specifications. Maximum
Continuous RMS Current — measured over a period of at least ten seconds — is used to calculate the
temperature increase in cables, which drives the proper size and gauge cable and rating for slow-
reacting thermal breakers. Maximum Burst RMS Current — measured over a period of approximately
one second — is used to select the rating for fast reacting magnetic breakers.
For best performance, voltage drops should not exceed 10% at 100V or 10% at 230V. The minimum
electrical service amperage required by a K-array loudspeaker system is the sum of their Maximum
Continuous RMS Current. K-array recommends allowing an additional 30% above the minimum amperage
to prevent peak voltage drops at the service entry.
