Introduction
Design column speakers
The KYRA column speakers range is the elegant result of research in the field of phased
array acoustics. The selection of the highest quality materials including aluminum cone
2” drivers guarantee an extraordinary detail and clarity for music and speech, which is
uncommon for any kind of column speaker available from the market. It makes them
perfectly lend themselves to a wide variety of applications in acoustic difficult environ-
ments such as churches, auditoriums, presentation and meeting rooms where audibility
and intelligibility of music and speech have the highest importance.
They are housed in slim and elegant constructed enclosures made out of aluminum
materials and finished with finely perforated grilles. An included mounting bracket with
minimum distance to the wall allows swivelling and down-tilting for perfect directional
placement.
They come in three different models (KYRA6, KYRA12 and KYRA24) in terms of length
and driver count, all are constructed with the identical high-quality aluminum cone full
range drivers. Each of them with their specific pattern in terms of dispersion and throw
distance. They offer solutions for uniform acoustic performance in any type of system
in reverberant venues, while reducing echo and microphone feedback to optimizes the
intelligibility of music & speech.
A multi-tapping line transformer allows them to be connected to 70V/100V public address
systems with various power tapping settings, while connections in low impedance (12Ω)
systems are also possible.

CAUTION
• USE CABLES OF THE RIGHT GAUGE TO CONNECT THE LOUDSPEAKER
• USE CABLES WITH CLEAR COLOR CODING INDICATING THE POLARITY AND
MAINTAIN THE SAME POLARITY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
• ONLY USE THE CORRECT AMPLIFIER OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND IMPEDANCE.
EXCEEDING THESE LIMITS COULD CAUSE FIRE OR OTHER FAILURES.
AVOID EXPLOSIONS: DO NOT USE THE SPEAKER AROUND GASOLINE,
THINNER OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLES
• AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCKS: SWITCH OFF THE AMPLIFIER WHEN CONNECTING
THE LOUDSPEAKER
• DO NOT USE THE LOUDSPEAKER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AT
DISTORTED SOUND. THIS COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

Installing the KYRA
Mounting the speaker
Every KYRA speaker comes delivered with a two-way revolving bracket, making it
possible to install the speaker at each position and focusing it into the desired direction.
The metal constructed bracket ensures a solid and secure mounting of the loudspeaker
to any possible location.
It consists of two different parts, whereof the first part should be installed to the rear side
of the loudspeaker. It can be assembled on different heights on the rear of the speaker,
depending on the mounting possibilities and required installation height. It is fixated to
the loudspeaker cabinet by inserting the 2 supplied mounting screws into the pre-drilled
and threaded holes at the back of the speaker cabinet.
The second part is a wall plate which has to be fixed to the wall by at least four screws
(preferably six). The type of used fasteners shall be chosen according to the most
suitable type for the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, ...). The mounting holes
are provided according to the positions indicated in the following drawing.

Once both speaker part and wall part are safely attached to their positions, the protective
finishing cover can be assembled over the wall plate by clicking it. Afterwards the speaker
can be assembled to the wall bracket by bringing both parts together and tightening them
through the button head bolt and nuts together through an hex drive key. The upper one
can be used for adjusting the tilt-angle of the speaker.
13°
42°
Once installed, the speaker can be can be panned and tilted, focussing the loudspeaker
into the desired listening direction. This is useful when the installation height on the wall
is limited or the speaker is mounted from the side. The maximum downward tilt is 13°
and the maximum pan in both directions is 42°.

Connecting the speaker
For connecting the KYRA, the wires coming from the amplifier shall be connected to
the 3-pin terminal block connector on the rear of the speaker. Depending whether the
speaker will be used in a low impedance (12 Ω) system or a constant voltage (70V/100V)
system, the appropriate terminals of the connector should get connected as indicated
in the below drawing.

When using in constant voltage 70V/100V systems, the power taps can be adjusted
in 4 steps of impedance through a rotary selector switch on the rear side of the unit.
The switch can be rotated in 4 positions A, B, C & D. Each position corresponds with
a specific impedance / power setting indicated on a label attached to the speaker, and
in the table below.
