1. INTRODUCTION
KN6 and KN10S are stainless steel, self-powered, 2-way full range speaker systems. Tey
are compact and powerful with multiple D class amplier channels dedicated to each of their
transducer elements. KN6 has a wide 130° vertical coverage pattern and the ability to
select the horizontal coverage from 10° to 130°, making it usable as both a point source and
as a line array element.
The system is ideal for medium throw applications in theatres, concert halls, houses of worship
and AV installations. KN6 uses two 6” Neodymium cone speakers with 2.5” voice coils for
low-mid frequencies. The mid-high frequency section employs three 1” voice coil Neodymium
compression drivers. The transducers are optimized with on-board DSP pre-sets. KN6 is
designed to easily integrate with KN10s selfpowered subwoofer.
The KN10s subwoofer module employs two 10” transducers with Neodymium magnet
structure and suspensions engineered for maximum linear excursion.
All KN6 and KN10S components are designed by the K-array R&D department and custom
made under the K-array quality control system.

6. SAFETY
• It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner.
• Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high sound levels
and should be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and can result from levels
above 90dB if people are exposed for an extended period.
• Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high level.
• Suspending the system should only be done by qualied personnel following safe
rigging practices. Secure xings to the building structure are vital. Seek help from
architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt.
• Do not operate the speaker for an extended period of time with the sound distorting.
This is an indication of malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate and
result in a re.
• Connect the power supply only to an appropriate power adapter.
• Do not install the speaker in wet or humid locations without using weather protection.
• Do not allow water or any foreign object to get inside the speaker. Do not put objects
containing liquid on, or near, the unit.
• To reduce the risk of overheating the amplier, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
Do not install the unit near heat emitting appliances, such as a room heater or stove.
• No naked ame sources such as lighted candles should be placed near the device.
• The speaker should be placed so that its location does not interfere with its proper
cooling.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The unit contains no user serviceable parts.
Repairs should be performed only by factory trained service personnel.
• Be sure that the adapter has the correct voltage value.
