1. INTRODUCTION
The new K-array KMT12 and KMT18 are much more than standard powered subwoofers.
They are full-featured audio systems, with analog and digital multiple inputs and outputs, a powerful DSP on board
and a memory to store up to 40 congurations of settings.
An integrated touch screen provides intuitive managing and editing of the main DSP functions: input and output
levels, In/Out routing, speakon output delay (up to 12 ms.), subwoofer delay (up to 12 ms.) and overall system
delay (up to 330 ms.).
All DSP functions, including EQ can be controlled with remote managing software via USB or RS485, again
conveniently on a standard XLR.
The amplier mounted on board is class D, delivering 2 x 1050 W at 8Ω with a max THD of 1% (EIAJ test @ 1KHz).
One of the two amplifying channels is dedicated to an output Speakon to connect to many kinds of speaker
congurations, including single mid-high modules (KK52, KK102), multiple line arrays, or the passive version of
an additional subwoofer module (KMT12P or KMT18P).
The rear panel provides input for two balanced line signals and digital signals in AES/EBU protocol, also on an
XLR for ease of cabling.
There are 40 available DSP preset slots, 8 of them are specically made by K-array to optimize the system
performance of possible device congurations. In addition the user can also create, save, and store his/her own
personal presets in the remaining 32 slots on KMT module using the K-framework software.
The unique four-corner port conguration gives symmetrical back loading to the speaker for extended bass
response with very low distortion. This also gives incredible structural strength to the cabinet despite its light
weight.
Pocket handles and an M20 thread mount position for attaching mid-high speakers makes the KMT convenient to
use and ideal for medium throw applications in theaters, concert halls, and Audio/Video installations.
All KTM components are designed by the K-array R&D department and custom-made under the K-array quality
control system.

4. UNPACKING
Each K-array loudspeaker is built to the highest standard and thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory. Carefully
inspect the shipping carton, then examine and test your new loudspeaker. If you nd any damage, immediately notify the
shipping company. Only the consignee may institute a claim procedure regarding the system’s electronic equipment.
5. WARRANTY
K-array systems are warranted against manufacturing defects in materials or craftsmanship over a period of 2
years from the date of original purchase. During the warranty period K-array will, at its discretion, either repair or
replace products which prove to be defective provided that the product is returned in its original packaging, shipping
prepaid, to an authorized K-array service agent or distributor. K-array cannot be held responsible for defects caused
by unauthorized modications, improper use, negligence, exposure to inclement weather conditions, acts of God
or accidents, or any use of this product that is not in accordance with the instructions provided by K-array. K-array
is not liable for consequential damages. This warranty is exclusive and no other warranty is expressed or implied.
This warranty does not affect your statutory rights.
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
volume.
• 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 sound distortion. This is an indication
of malfunction, which in turn can generate heat and
result in a re.
• Only connect the power supply 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
only be performed by factory trained service
personnel.
• Be sure that the adapter has the correct voltage
value.

8.1 AC POWER CONNECTOR
8.2 VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT
8.3 CURRENT REQUIREMENT
The amplier module and the rest of the audio equipment connected to it (mixing consoles, processors, etc.)
must be connected to the AC power distribution in a proper way, preserving AC line polarity and connecting
earth ground such that all grounding points are connected to a single node or common point using the same
cable gauge as the neutral and line(s) cables. Bad grounding connections between speakers and the rest of
the audio system may produce noise, hum and/or serious damage to the input/output stages in the system’s
electronic equipment.
Before applying AC to any K-array self-powered speaker, be sure that the voltage
potential difference between neutral and earth ground is less than 5 VAC.
KMT12 and KMT18 operate safely and without audio discontinuity if the AC voltage stays within 85
and 135V or between 180 and 250V, at 50 or 60 Hz.
Verify that your mains connection is capable to satisfy the power ratings of the device.
CAUTION
Connecting the system to an AC power mains with a voltage exceeding 250V will
cause signicant damage to the device and create a serious risk for users!
KMT12 and KMT18 present a dynamic load to the AC mains, which causes the amount of current to uctuate
between quiet and loud operating levels. Since different cables and circuit breakers heat up at varying rates,
it is essential to understand the types of current ratings and how they correspond to circuit breaker and cable
specications. The maximum continuous RMS current is the maximum RMS current in a period of at least
ten seconds. It is used to calculate the temperature increase in cables, which is used to select cables that
conform to electrical code standards. It is also used to select the cable size and gauge, and the rating for
slow-reacting thermal breakers. The maximum burst RMS current is the maximum RMS current in a period of
approximately one second. It is used to select the rating for magnetic breakers. The maximum instantaneous
peak current during burst is used to select the rating for fast reacting magnetic breakers.
For best performance, the AC Cable voltage drop should not exceed 10% at 115V and 5% at 230V.

OUTPUT
The KMT12 and KMT18 are powered by a 2-channel high power digital amplier feeding the connected
modules with a power output of 1050W in each channel (EIAJ test).
All the specic functions for the KMT12 or KMT18, such as crossovers, equalization, phase response, and
driver protection are controlled by a DSP processor installed inside the amplier.
The devices have two different types of audio signal limiter. The Clip limiter and the Average Power limiter
reduce the risk of damaging the components of the speakers.
A Peak Current Shut Down acts as output stage switching process inhibition that resets itself after 2 seconds.
The tripping point is at 35A.
A temperature protection limiter ensures the output stage gain stays below a temperature of 85° (approximate
temperature of output power device).
