Things you should never do
Although we tried to organize the user interface to avoid misuse, you should be aware of the
following:
Never mismatch parameters and loudspeakers
Parameters identified on a particular loudspeaker model can usually not be used to control a
different loudspeaker model unless the linear and nonlinear parameters of both loudspeakers are
very similar.
Note:
Every initial data set has two unique 8-character identifiers
KCS-ID Identifier
(assigned by the
KCS-ID operation) and
Initial Data Identifier
(assigned by the KCS-Server) which are displayed in the
window
Setup
.
Never change the enclosure
The controller can be used with loudspeakers operated in free air as well as with vented and sealed
enclosures. This information is entered before starting the Initial Identification (KCS-ID). Changing
the type of the enclosure type or size requires a new KCS-ID Parameter Identification creating a new
set of initial parameters.
Never change the polarity
Usually, loudspeaker parameters have an asymmetric characteristic making the polarity of the
connections at the loudspeaker terminals critical for the compensation of nonlinear distortion.
Never change the polarity after Initial Identification as this will lead to additional nonlinear distortion
and a wrong identification of the voice coil rest position.
