The KT-8A’s tri-amp system provides three amplier

channels to drive each of the individual drivers. The

low-range amplier provide 400 Watts of power to

the woofer, the mid-range amp provide 300 Watts to

the 6.5” speaker and the tweeter receives 160 Watts.

Similarly, the KT-210A features a bi-amp design that

provides 1200 Watts to the woofers and 300 Watts

to the tweeters.

These congurations guarantee greater sound del-

ity, higher dynamism and a signicant increase in

sound pressure.

CONNECTORS

The KT-8A and KT-210A feature balanced XLR input

connection in addition to an XLR output/link connec-

tor. This is shown on the top left-hand side of the rear

panel image above.

In addition to this, the speaker features two RJ-45

connectors for utilizing the onboard CPU. By con-

necting the “LINK” port on one unit to the “IN” port

of another, you’re essentially creating a network of

the KT models.

The MAINS INPUT connections allow power to be

applied to the KT-8A and KT-210A systems. The

systems are powered by the uppermost connection,

while the lower connection (labelled “MAINS LINK”)

is used to link to power additional units.

FUSE & POWER

Below the power connectors you can nd a FUSE

holder and main power switch. The power switch can

be defeated within the KT series Windows software.

In the event that the power won’t turn on, ensure that

the power switch is activate within the PC software. If

it is and power will still not turn on, check the system’s

fuse has not blown.

DIP SWITCHES

DIP switches 1 to 5 of the KT series allow users to

establish the ID of the unit. Each unit must have an

independent ID for the KT series software to recog-

nize the product within your network.

DIP 8 being set to ON will enable ‘Initialization Mode’

for the KT-8A or KT-210A. When in this mode, the sys-

tem can be restored and/or new rmware installed.

FANS

Two variable speed fans can be found on the rear of

the KT-8A and KT-210A. These work in conjunction

with the internal temperature control to ensure the

speaker runs cool. Please do not obstruct the fans

for any reason as doing so can be detrimental to the

speaker’s performance and reliability.

ASSEMBLY

The array conguration is

accomplished through a

simple ‘pin-in-hole’ method

of connection. The top

corners of the KT-8A and

KT-210A each feature a

retractable joint bar. These

extend to be inserted into

each of the four slots at

the bottom of the next unit

in the array. The four ight

pins chained to the unit can

be inserted in the appropri-

ate holes to x the units

together.

The ight pins have a but-

ton on the end that can

be pushed to release the

pin’s latch. This should be

pushed when inserting the

pin into the mounting holes.

The pins should sit ush with the side of the unit and

be unable to wiggle within the frame. To accomplish

this, the pin must be inserted completely through the

mounting holes on both of the KT units being joined

in the array; through the outer-hole on the lower-part

of one unit, through the second unit’s joint bar, and

again through the rst unit’s inner-hole.

The lower-front corner of each unit features a single

mounting hole, while the lower-rear corner offers 11

individual holes that will determine the angle between

the two units. Connecting two units at 0° will create

narrower, yet more focused, dispersion. At 10° the

array will create a much wider vertical dispersion.

BASIC SETUP

Making Connections

1. First and foremost, make sure the KT series is

turned off and unplugged before making any

connections.

2. Once you ensure the KT line array is off, you can

make your input and output connections. Connect

the main output of your mixer to the input of the

rst KT model in your array. The output connector

on that speaker should be connected to the input

of the next speaker, and so on.

3. The Ethernet connection of your computer or

network should be connected to the ‘IN’ Ethernet

port on the speaker. The ‘LINK’ port should be

connected to the ‘IN’ port of the next speaker, and

so on.

4. Using the included power cable, the ‘MAINS

INPUT’ connection should be connected to an

appropriate power supply. The ‘LINK’ connectors

should be connected to the ‘MAINS INPUT’ on the

next speaker. Continue this chain to power each

speaker in the array. Power on the electrical outlet

that the rst speaker is connected to ensuring it is

of a suitable voltage for the KT speaker.

Software Setup

5. Open the Windows software. Click the “Search

Device” button found at the top of the software.

This will seek KT line array units in your network.

6. Once an appropriate COM PORT is found, click

“Connect”. Once the KT is “Online”, it will appear

within the software. You can double-click the

image to use the software’s control functions.

7. It should be noted that power to the KT line array

speakers is not activated by default. To activate

the speakers, you will need to click ‘Online’ under

S/W Power in the Setup menu. Please note you

can also deactivate the physical power switch in

this menu.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

The latest rmware for the KT series line arrays can

always be found on www.phonic.com. To perform a

rmware update, ensure the speaker is connected

to the network and online. DIP switch 8 on the rear

of the system must also be set to “ON” in order to

receive the new rmware.

1. Select the Update pulldown menu and select

“Firmware Update.”

2. Locate the update le in your Download folder (or

wherever you saved the rmware update).

3. Select the “Update” button to update the rmware

on your KT-8A or KT-210A.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Please read all safety instructions found opposite

page 1 of this section of the manual.

KT-8 line array speakers should only be installed

by experienced personnel with adequate knowl-

edge. Phonic takes no responsibility for incorrectly

mounted, suspended, or wired speakers, nor are we

responsible for issues arising from equipment not

inspected prior to use.

When working with the KT-8 line array systems, the

total working load should not exceed the resistance

of each individual component. This includes ight

pins, joint bars, ight frames and speaker cabinets.

While the Phonic ight frame and KT-8 speakers

have a maximum capacity of 1000 kg, consideration

of other elements of the setup should be taken into

consideration. This may including hoisting ropes and

other suspension materials.

Phonic suggests a safety ratio of 5:1. With this in

mind, a total load of 200 kg should be the aim when

creating your line array using the KT-8A or KT-210A

and the appropriate Phonic ight frame. As previously

stated, however, the total resistance of other com-

ponents of the setup should be taken into account.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CARRY A LINE-ARRAY.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to lift a

line array by yourself. Mechanical winches and other

hoisting devices are recommended.

The KT-8A and KT-210A are equipped with internal

crossovers for mid/highs. There is no crossover pres-

ent on the woofer. Please note that incorrectly wired

speakers may cause damage to the unit.

Phonic recommends taking the utmost of care

when wiring and/or connecting speakers. A 2-way

crossover with a crossover point at 500Hz is best to

separate low frequencies from the mid/highs. The

ideal frequency range for the KT-8A’s 8” woofer is

60Hz to 500Hz, while the mid/high range works best

at 500Hz to 20 kHz.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The KT Windows software needs to be installed to

your system before it can be utilized by the KT line

arrays. Installation is fairly simple.

1. Insert the included CD into your computer’s CD-

ROM drive and close the tray.

2. Navigate the disc to nd the “setup.exe” le. Run

in by either double-clicking the le or by right-

clicking the le and select “Run as Administrator”.

3. Follow the installation instructions.

4. After installation is complete, the KT software can

be run by running the appropriate software icon.

KT-8A / KT-210A

English

MAIN

The “Main” menu in the KT Windows software pro-

vides a number of controls for each of the frequency

ranges provided within the software.

SOLO BUTTON: This will solo the corresponding

mix, whether it’s the INPUT mix or the HF, LF or

MF. When a signal is soloed, all others will mute.

This includes all other speakers connected to your

network. This feature is useful for helping to detect

faults in speakers while suspended. If you “SOLO” the

“INPUT” of the speaker suspected of being at fault,

all others will mute and you can demo the speaker

individually and rule it out as the cause.

ON BUTTON: The on button simply turns the cor-

responding frequency range on and off. Turning the

“INPUT” off will effectively mute the speaker, while

turning off the “LF” (low frequency), “MF” (middle

frequency) or “HF” (high frequency) controls will cut

off their respective frequency ranges. Please note

that the KT-210A only features HF and LF while the

KT-8A features HF, MF and LF.

LEVEL CONTROL: The main menu features a “vir-

tual fader” that can be adjusted by simply dragging

the fader up and down using your mouse. Click the

fader and move the mouse up or down to adjust.

LEVEL METER: Each of the individual level controls

also features a level meter located directly beside it.

When levels are obviously excessive, Phonic advises

reducing them to reduce the risk of distortion.

INVERT PHASE: Immediately below the level con-

trol and meter is an invert phase button. This will

immediately invert the phase of the incoming signal,

whether it’s the “input” signal, or the low, mid, or high

frequencies.

KT-8A / KT-210A

English

HPF

The KT software features a simple high-pass lter

(HPF) to effectively remove low-frequency audio from

your main signal. This can effectively remove stage

rumble and other low-frequency interference that

could ruin an otherwise perfect performance. It also

allows the KT’s internal amplier to concentrate more

on actual program and ignore this low-frequency

audio.

ON BUTTON: The on button simply turns the HPF

on and off.

DISPLAY GRAPH: The HPF can be adjusted within

the display graph. The small icon can be dragged left

or right to adjust the cut-off frequency for the HPF.

TYPE: The type of lter can be adjusted with this

pull-down menu. The default setting for this is 24dB/

Oct but other slopes are available.

FREQUENCY: The frequency is displayed within this

window located beside the TYPE pull-down menu.

The frequency is adjusted using the icon within the

display graph and can be set anywhere between

20Hz and 20kHz.

FILE: The le window will display the currently loaded

preset for the HPF. This can be selected by pushing

the LOAD button.

SAVE: Push the save button to save the current

settings of the HPF. These are saved locally on the

computer and can be recalled at a later time.

LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of

the previously saved HPF settings.

RESET: The reset button will return the HPF back to

its default settings.

GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

The KT software includes two types of equalizers that

can be utilized. The rst is a 31-band GEQ with an

adjustable Q, while the second is a 10-band para-

metric equalizer with adjustable type, gain, frequency

and Q. The equalizer can be utilized

ON BUTTON: The on button simply turns the 31-

band GEQ on and off.

FUNCTION: The function button will allow you to

select whether the EQ is a 31-band GEQ or 10-band

PEQ.

DISPLAY GRAPH: This plotted graph allows you

to view the curve created by the graphic equalizer.

METER: Located beside the display graph, these

level meters provides up-to-the-second information

on your GEQ’s signal input and output levels.

GEQ BANDS: Each of the 31 bands can be adjusted

here. Frequencies available range between 20Hz

and 20kHz. Simply click the virtual control and drag

it up or down to adjust. The adjustment made will be

visible within the display graph.

Q CONTROL: This adjusts the ‘width’ of the bands of

the 31-band GEQ. Use the left mouse button to lower

the value or the right button to increase the value.

FILE: The le window will display the currently loaded

preset for the EQ. This can be selected by pushing

the LOAD button.

SAVE: Push the save button to save the current

settings of the EQ. These are saved locally on the

computer and can be recalled at a later time.

LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of

the previously saved EQ settings.

RESET: The reset button will return the EQ back to

its default settings.

KT-8A / KT-210A

English

PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER

The KT software also includes a 10-band parametric

equalizer that can be utilized instead of the 31-band

graphic equalizer. Simply select the appropriate func-

tion button to activate the 10-band PEQ.

ON BUTTON: This simply turns the PEQ on and off.

FUNCTION: The function button will allow you to

select whether to use the PEQ or GEQ.

DISPLAY GRAPH: This plotted graph allows you to

view the curve created by the graphic equalizer. Each

of the EQ bands can simply be dragged (using the

mouse) to adjust the frequency and level.

METER: Located beside the display graph, these

level meters provides up-to-the-second information

on your PEQ’s signal input and output levels.

PEQ ON/OFF BUTTONS: Each of the 10 bands has

its own independent on/off buttons. When turned off,

the corresponding band will no longer appear in the

display graph.

TYPE: This determines the type of of band used. A

“PEAK” band will simply peak at the selected frequen-

cy/level, while a “SHELF” will level off at the selected

frequency. A “HIGH CUT” or “LOW CUT” will remove

all frequencies above/below the selected frequency.

GAIN/FREQUENCY/Q: The gain, frequency and Q

can be adjusted within these windows. The gain and

frequency can easily be adjusted within the display

graph by moving individual points, however all three

can also be edited here. Push the left mouse button

to reduce the values and the right mouse button to

increase.

FILE: The le window will display the currently loaded

preset for the EQ. This can be selected by pushing

the LOAD button.

SAVE: Push the save button to save the current

settings of the EQ. These are saved locally on the

computer and can be recalled at a later time.

LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of

the previously saved EQ settings.

RESET: The reset button will return the EQ back to

its default settings.

KT-8A / KT-210A

English

CROSSOVER

Both the KT-8A and KT-210A have an internal cross-

over. This essentially separates the high, mid and low

frequency audio from your main signal to be sent to

their respective speakers. LF is sent to woofers, MF

is sent to mid-ranges and the HF is sent to tweet-

ers. The KT-8A includes a three-way crossover (LF,

MF, HF) while the KT-210 has a two-way crossover

(LF, HF).

TYPE: This determines the type of crossover the KT

series will use. The default setting for this is a 24dB/

octave butterworth but a number of other types and

curves are available.

DISPLAY GRAPH: This will show the properties of

your crossover, including frequencies, levels and the

selected curve.

HIGH PASS FILTER (HPF) FREQUENCY: This eld

determines the cut-off frequency of the corresponding

crossover’s HPF. Frequencies below this point will be

removed at a predetermined rate. The rate at which

the frequencies below this point are cut is dependent

on the selected “type”.

LOW PASS FILTER (LPF) FREQUENCY: This eld

determines the cut-off frequency of the corresponding

crossover’s LFP. Frequencies above this point will be

removed at a predetermined rate. The rate at which

the frequencies below this point are cut is dependent

on the selected “type”.

METER: These meters show the KT crossover’s input

and output levels. As this is a crossover, there are

independent level meters for each the low frequency,

mid frequency and high frequency outputs.

FILE: The le window will display the currently loaded

preset for the CROSSOVER. This can be selected

by pushing the LOAD button.

SAVE: Push the save button to save the current set-

tings of the CROSSOVER. These are saved locally

on the computer and can be recalled at a later time.

LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of

the previously saved CROSSOVER settings.

RESET: The reset button will return the CROSS-

OVER back to its default settings.

KT-8A / KT-210A

English

LIMITER

The KT series software includes a compressor/limiter

for each the high, mid and low-frequency audio. A

compressor essentially reduces excessive levels by

a pre-determined ratio. Once the output signal sur-

passes a user-set level, the signal over this level will

be ‘compressed’ at the user-determined ratio. Once

the signal then reaches the “limiter” threshold set by

the user, it will be cut off at that level. Essentially, the

signal level will not surpass the limiter’s threshold.

The rst page of the LIMITER section of the KT

software simply has display graphs for each the low-

frequency, mid-frequency and high-frequency. Users

can simply select these on screen to enter the limiter

for that particular frequency range.

In addition to the graph displaying the compressor/

limiter curve, these windows also include input and

output meters and a gain reduction meter. The gain

reduction meter will display the level that the signal

is reduced when the compressor and limiter are

activated.

LIMITER LF / MF / HF

ON BUTTON: The on button will simply activate and

deactivate the corresponding limiter.

DISPLAY GRAPH: This plots the input/output lev-

els of the compressor and limiter. The individual

threshold (T) and ratio (R) for the compressor can be

adjusted on screen by simply clicking and dragging

the points with your mouse.

LEVEL METER: Directly beside the display graph

is an input and output meter. If output levels are

excessive, the limiter can actually be utilized to help

combat this.

GAIN REDUCTION: This meter will display the level

in which the limiter reduces the output signal.

COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD: This adjusts the

threshold of the compressor. Once your signal level

passes the selected threshold, the compressor will

kick-in at the set ratio.

RATIO: This can be used to adjust the compressor

input/output signal ratio. This essentially determines

the level at which the signal will be cut after the

threshold is surpassed.

KT-8A / KT-210A

English

LIMITER THRESHOLD: This adjusts the threshold

of the limiter function. This works in conjunction with

the compressor. A limiter could be seen simply as a

compressor with an ∞:1 ratio.

OUTPUT GAIN: Increases the nal output level of

the compressor/limiter.

ATTACK CONTROL: The attack control adjusts the

time it will take for the compressor/limiter to kick in

after the signal rises above the set threshold.

RELEASE CONTROL: The release control adjusts

the time it will take for the compressor/limiter to de-

activate after the signal falls below the set threshold.

FILE: The le window will display the currently loaded

preset for the LIMITER. This can be selected by

pushing the LOAD button.

SAVE: Push the save button to save the current set-

tings of the LIMITER. These are saved locally on the

computer and can be recalled at a later time.

LOAD: Selecting load will allow you to recall any of

the previously saved LIMITER settings.

RESET: The reset button will return the LIMITER

back to its default settings.

RETURN BUTTON: Clicking the circular button with

an arrow will return the user to the rst page of the

limiter function.

KT-8A / KT-210A

English

DELAY

Both the KT-8A and KT-210A feature a delay function.

An output delay can be applied to the entire speaker

or individual frequency outputs (high, mid and low).

Adding a delay to an entire speaker array can help to

compensate for distance between speakers in large

multi-speaker setups. A delay time of one millisecond

per foot (or 3 milliseconds per meter) that the speaker

is away from the stage is the general rule of thumb

in this application. This, however, is not always the

case. Thankfully, the KT Network System allows the

delay time to be set in “meters” or “feet” instead of

“milliseconds”, taking a lot of the guesswork out of

the setup.

DELAY CONTROLS: These controls adjust the total

delay time that would be added to their respective

channels (input delay, low frequency, mid frequency

or high frequency). The delay time can be adjusted

in milliseconds, meters and feet.

ON BUTTONS: The on buttons quite simply activate

the delay function of the corresponding channel.

TEMPERATURE: The temperature option allows the

user to set the ambient temperature of the current

venue. This allows the KT Network System to cal-

culate a more accurate delay-time when set in “feet”

or “meters”. In addition to the temperature control,

this section of the Delay function offers “time (ms)”,

“feet” and “meter” buttons, changing the adjustable

delay between these parameters.

PARAMETER BUTTONS: Found on the bottom

right-hand side of the KT Network System software,

these three buttons allow users to select the param-

eter adjusted by the delay controls. Selecting “TIME”

will allow the delay to be adjusted in milliseconds

(recommended for experienced users), while “FEET”

and “METERS” will allow the delay to be adjusted

according to distance. When adjusting the delay by

distance, Phonic recommends using the distance

between the KT line array speaker and the front-of-

house speakers.

KT-8A / KT-210A

menu simple provides the status of the currently

selected KT speaker. When “Online”, it means a

connection was successfully established between

the speaker and the software. The “Connect” button

should be pushed to establish a connection.

POWER SETTINGS: The power settings provide

indicators for the current status of the selected KT

speaker. “ON” indicates that the speaker is activated

while “Standby” means there is currently no sound

from the speaker but it is in standby. The status of

the KT speaker can be adjusted by the “S/W Power”

buttons. “Online” will activate the speaker while “Of-

ine” will put the speaker in standby mode. The power

switch can be de-activated by the “Power Switch”

option. Essentially the disable button will allow you to

bypass the hardwired power switch on the currently

selected KT speaker.

SCENE SETTINGS: The scene feature essentially

allows you to save all of your settings, including your

MAIN, HPF, EQ, CROSSOVER, LIMITER and DELAY

settings. The currently selected SCENE name will

be displayed in the scene window. The SAVE button

will allow you to save your scenes while the LOAD

button will let you load up a previous saved scene.

The “INT” button will initialize the system, basically

resetting all functions back to their factory presets.

When requiring identical settings on multiple speak-

ers within the array, Phonic suggests saving the

scene after everything is set, then reloading these

scenes on all subsequent speakers. This will save

valuable setup time.

DEVICE: The device ID will be displayed within this

window, as set by the KT series’ DIP switches located

on the bottom of the unit. Please note that every de-

vice connected to your KT Network System software

should have its own unique Device ID. This allows

the software to correctly identify each independent

speaker.

Directly below this setting, the current rmware ver-

sion of the system can be found. Please remember,

the latest rmware for your KT speakers can be found

on www.phonic.com.

PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

The KT series line array speakers feature a number

of protection mechanisms in place to ensure no dam-

age occurs to the speakers. This page offers clear,

concise monitoring of many aspects of the KT series.

VOLTAGE METER (V): This shows the voltage

that the amplier is delivering. This helps determine

whether a channel is currently sending high voltage

levels.

CURRENT METER (A): This shows the current that

the amplier is delivering to a load in amps. This is

useful in determining if a speaker load is open or

shorted.

WATT METER (W): This shows the power level in

Watts that the amplier is delivering to speakers. This

can be helpful in determining whether speakers are

receiving adequate power or if they can handle more.

The levels will reduce by 0.5 dB every 6 seconds

and return to normal levels at the same rate once

the issue has been resolved.

POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE (V): This indicates the

+/- voltage provided to channel groups (1 to 4 and 5

to 8). When the supply voltage exceeds +/- 20%, the

power is automatically turned off. When the supply

voltage returns within +/- 20%, the power is automati-

cally activated.

CHANNEL REDUCE LEVEL (dB): These individual

meters give an indication of when protection circuitry

has kicked in and input levels have been reduced to

compensate.

TEMPERATURE (°C): This meter displays the inter-

nal temperature of each channel. Temperatures in

excess of 100°C will trigger the protection circuitry.

DC OFFSET: This indicates if the DC offset protection

was triggered on any channel (LF, HF and/or HF).

AMP SHUTDOWN: These indicators show when an

amplier channel has shutdown. This could be in

response to excessive heat, or potentially overcur-

rent protection.

FAN SPEED: This meter gives an up-to-the-minute

indication of the speed of the internal fan. When the

speed hits maximum, over-temperature protection

may kick in as a response. We suggest manually

reducing levels to help avoid this occurring.

In the above conguration, the front of house mix is

sent to a 2-way crossover before being sent to power

ampliers. The KT-8 speakers are then powered by

at least two separate power ampliers. A crossover

point of 500 Hz is suggested. For information on wir-

ing the NL4 connectors of the KT-8 please consult

page 2 of this manual.

The array conguration has each speaker at a 10

degree angle. This provides wider vertical coverage,

able to cover longer distances for larger audiences.

Congurations can vary. For more direct, robust

audio, for example, the top two or three speakers

can be mounted at a 0 degree angle, while the lower

speakers can sit at 8 or 10 degrees. See the “Sug-

gested Conguration” section for one such example.

En la conguración anterior, la mezcla frontal se

envía a un cruce/Crossover de 2 vías antes de

ser enviada a los amplicadores de potencia. Los

altavoces KT-8 son entonces alimentados por (al

menos) dos amplicadores de potencia separados.

Para obtener información sobre el cableado de los

conectores NL4 del KT-8 por favor consulte la página

2 de este manual.

Cada altavoz de la conguración Array está colo-

cado en un ángulo de 10 grados. Esto proporciona

una cobertura vertical más amplia, capaz de cubrir

grandes distancias para grandes audiencias. Las

conguraciones pueden variar. Para un audio más

robusto y más directo, por ejemplo, los dos o tres

altavoces de la parte superior del Array se pueden

montar en un ángulo de 0 grados, mientras que los

altavoces inferiores pueden ajustar en 8 o 10 grados.

Vea la sección “Conguraciones sugeridas” para

observar este ejemplo.
