Installing and connecting the KH 805
Have the product installed and connected by a specialist . Due to his/her technical training,
know-how and experience as well as knowledge of relevant provisions, regulations and stan-
dards, the specialist must be able to assess assigned tasks, recognize potential hazards and
ensure appropriate safety measures . The following safety and mounting instructions are
addressed to this specialist .
CAUTION
Danger of injury and material damage due to tipping/dropping of the product!
If improperly mounted, the product and/or the mounting hardware (e .g . rack) can tip over
or drop down .
X
Always have the product mounted by a qualified specialist according to local, national
and international regulations and standards .
X
Use the mounting systems recommended by Neumann and always provide sufficient addi-
tional protection against tipping or dropping by means of safety wires .
CAUTION
Damage to the product due to overheating!
If air cannot circulate properly through the ventilation openings
8
on the rear of the prod-
uct, the power amplifiers may overheat leading to premature activation of the thermal pro-
tection system which limits the maximum output level of the subwoofer . In rare cases, dam-
age to the product may also occur .
X
Never cover the ventilation openings
8
.
X
When installing the product into tight spaces such as wall recesses, maintain an air gap
of at least 2" (5 cm) around the subwoofer’s backplate to ensure a free air flow through
the ventilation openings .
For information on installation, please refer to the supplied “Getting Started Quickly”
supplement . This will help you set up the subwoofers and loudspeakers in a way that
will give you the best acoustic performance from the system . For further information on
setting up subwoofers and loudspeakers, please refer to the “Questions & Answers”
section at www .neumann .com .
Preparing the subwoofer
CAUTION
Risk of staining surfaces!
Some surfaces treated with varnish, polish or synthetics may suffer from stains when they
come into contact with other synthetics . Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used
by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining .
X
Do not place the KH 805 on delicate surfaces .
The bottom of the subwoofer features rubber feet which reduce the risk of scratching the sur-
face and the subwoofer cabinet, and acoustically isolate the subwoofer from the surface .
If you want to hide the subwoofer:
X
Use a thin open weave cloth . To provide visual cover, you can use two layers of the cloth .
Preparing the room
X
Arrange all acoustically relevant surfaces and objects symmetrically on either side of the
listening axis of the room (left/right) .
X
Minimize the sound that is reflected back to the listening position by using angled surfaces
and/or acoustical treatment .
This product has been optimized for use in recording studios . In order to avoid affecting
the quality of reproduction, make sure that the product is used in an EMC environment .
