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 configurations 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 amplifier 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
configurations, 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 specifically made by K-array to optimize the system
performance of possible device configurations. 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 configuration 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.
