QUICK START

The iK81 and iK42 are not only powerful amplifiers but have extremely comprehensive processing

ability allowing complex systems to be designed to suit any application for many applications

however, all you need to do is recall the appropriate Preset, connect your speakers and source

and away you go. This section shows you how to achieve the quickest, most straightforward set

1. Connect the amplifier. The iK42 requires mains to be connected to its 32 Amp

PowerCon inlet, and an input feed, either balanced analogue to the input XLRs, AES3

to the dedicated AES XLR, or Dante to the Dante RJ45 port. XE500 and any of the

other monitors run in bi-amp mode can be connected directly to output Speakon 1 and

3 as these also have channels 2 and 4 respectively connected to pins 2+/- specifically

for bi-amp operations. See "AC Power Connection" and "Audio Connections" on page

15 for more details.

2. Power up the amplifier, once it has completed its power-up cycle press INPUT and

press the down arrow once to show the Preset recall for Channel A:
