Before putting the devices intooperation, please observe the respective country-specific regulations.

Operation
Screw the speaker pole into the subwoofer. Adjust the height of the pole and secure with the pin system. Finally
mount the satellite speaker on top of the pole.
Using a speakeron cable, connect the rear of the satellite speaker to the sub woofer speaker(1). To lock the cable,
rotate the plug clockwise. To unlock and remove the cable, reverse this operation.
Ensure that the satellite volume (2) is turned fully to the left (Min). Make sure that the sub woofer volume (3) is also
turned to the minimum setting.Connect an audio input (mixer, etc) into the rear of the sub via the input sockets (4).
Ensure that you have selected the correct voltage for your region via the voltage selecter (5).Connect the supplied
IEC mains cable into the power socket (6) and connect this to the mains supply.Turn the active subwoofer unit on
via the power switch (7).
Whilst the audio input signal is running, slowly increase the satellite volume (2) to your desired level. Repeat this
operation with the sub woofer volume (3) until you achieve a good mix of bass and mid/treble from the system.
A general guide is to set the satellite volume to the 2 o clock position on the dial and the sub woofer to 12 o clock.
Adjust the input signal from your audio source (mixer, etc) to suit.
When the system is running normally, the clip LEDs (8) will illuminate green. If your audio signal is too powerful for
the system, the clip LEDs (8) will illuminate red. If this occurs, reduce the volume of your audio input. If clipping still
occurs, reduce the volume of the satellite speakers (2) and the subwoofer (3).
Linking multiple Kam X12 Array systems
To link multiple X12 Array systems to each other, connect the audio output (9) of the first speaker (the system to
which the audio input is connected) to the audio input of the next X12 Array system. This audio signal is not
amplified and therefore you can adjust the volume of this second system to match the first or set it’s own level.
If you are using multiple linked X12 Array systems and the units interfere with each other’s audio (you may hear a
phasing effect), adjust the phase switch (10)to the opposite position on one of the systems.
