Substances Directive.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions - Keep these instructions
Heed all warnings
Installation and commissioning may only be carried out
by qualified and authorized personnel.
Switch-off the mains power supply before carrying out
any connection or maintenance operations.
• Read these instructions.
• Keep this instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
• This loudspeaker system is intended for professional use.
• Beware of sound levels. Do not stay within close proximity of
loudspeakers in operation. Loudspeaker systems are capable
of producing very high sound pressure levels (SPL) which can
instantaneously lead to permanent hearing damage. Hearing damage
can also occur at moderate level with prolonged exposure to sound.
Check the applicable laws and regulations relating to maximum sound
levels and exposure times.
• Before connecting the loudspeakers to other devices, turn off the power
for all devices.
• Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to
minimum.
• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker
terminals.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance particularly
when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load
outside the amplifier’s rated range can damage the devices.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
• K-array will not shoulder any responsibilities for products modified
without prior authorization.
• K-array cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use
of the loudspeakers.
Warning. Failure to follow these safety instructions
could result in fire, shock or other injury or damage to
the device or other property.

Setup
Lyzard and Vyper loudspeakers perform best when
positioned on a planar surface such as a wall.
Find the proper installation height, aiming the loudspeaker at
the listening position. We suggest the following configurations:
Lyzard wirings
Lyzard loudspeakers are already pre-wired with 5 m (16.4ft)
of ultra-thin speaker cable to be directly connected to the
K-array Kommander-KA02 power amplifier.
Before connecting the loudspeaker cable to the amplifier:
• insure the amplifier’s minimum loading impedance
is matched, especially when connecting multiple
loudspeakers in parallel (see next paragraph);
• insure that the amplifier is switched off.
In case of cable replacement, for a cable run of up to 5 m
(16.4ft) use wire gauge of 0,5 mm2(24 AWG) at least.
For longer cable runs a wider gauge is recommended.
In order to screw the terminals of the Lyzard loudspeakers,
use 2mm (5/64 in) standard (flat-blade) screwdriver.
The Lyzard’s ultra-thin speaker cable
should not be cut, jointed or soldered.
Instead of altering the wiring, replace the cable.
Loudspeaker Wirings
Cables with proper terminal connectors are provided within
the package: follow the hardware configuration section for
setting the connections.

Installation
Adhesive strips and Dual Lock pads
The adhesive strips and Dual Lock pads are intended for
quick and clean installation on flat surfaces, being ready to
use for either fixed and temporary installations.
Permanent installation, wall plug
For permanent installation a kit including a proper screw and
plug is provided.
Follow these operating instructions:
1. Before permanently affixing the loudspeaker to the
surface, gently remove the outer grill;
2. Drill a 4 mm (0.15 in) diameter hole in the surface with a
deep of at least 20 mm (0.80 in);
3. Set the wall plug in place and gently screw the
loudspeaker to the surface;
4. Reposition the outer grill on the loudspeaker.

Local streaming
This feature allows to manage a group of Kommander-KA02
Azimut amplifiers by a single Azimut system.
Preliminary setup:
• Connect all the Kommander-KA02 to the same network;
• Set a unique name on each device in order to ease its detection and
setup (see Advanced section for details);
• Select one Azimut system as Master device on the network: this device
will stream its music to any other Azimut system marked as Slave.
Local streaming setup:
1. Connect to one Azimut system and access its Azimut Control Interface;
2. Browse the Main menu and click on Local streaming: the view will
show the complete list of the Azimut systems within the network of the
Azimut you are connected to;
3. For each listed Azimut system you can:
• set it as Master: this device will stream the music to any other Slave
Azimut system in the network.
WARNING: only one Master device is allowed within the network
• set it as Slave: this device will playback the music streamed by the
Master;
• toggle the standby mode in order to wake up or turn off the system
(resume or stop playback accordingly);
• set the playback volume.
By accessing the Azimut Control Interface of an Azimut
system within the network it is possible to override the Local
streaming setting and free the device.
