associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your KADS-100, KADS-1, and KADS-2 away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

3 Overview
The KADS-100 is a Master Audio Controller for use with multiple, remote, active
KADS-1 and KADS-2 speakers. It features eight analog audio inputs, an S/PDIF
digital stereo audio input, and a USB connector for mass-storage audio devices.
RS-232 data and commands travel bi-directionally between controller and
speakers, allowing remote status requests and control of up to 99 daisy-chained
KADS-1 and KADS-2 speakers.
The KADS-100 can provide power to support up to eight KADS-1 speakers. By
adding a KADS-2 speaker it provides power to a further eight speakers. This setup
can be extended to control up to 99 speakers.
The KADS-1 is an active speaker with multi-channel, digital audio, RS-232 data,
and power provided over a single cable.
The KADS-2 is similar to the KADS-1 but it also has a power supply to allow
adding more speakers, either by daisy-chaining them or in a tree and branch
configuration.
The KADS-100, KADS-1 and KADS-2 feature:
High resolution audio
Highly flexible layout options
Eight logical audio channels for mapping to physical inputs
Presets for storing commonly used configurations
Power provision to compatible devices
Transmission up to 30m (100ft) between speakers. Total span of 240m
(800ft) for eight KADS-1 speakers without an additional power supply
Remote control using the built-in Web pages (KADS-100)
Standard 1U 19” rack size (KADS-100)
