Operating Instructions K&F GRAVIS 15 In general, audio signals must not be overdriven. This may be caused by mixing consoles, equalizers, effect equipment, etc. and should be indicated on this equipment. When a power amplifier is overloaded at the output (clipping), then the amplifier activates a clipping warning signal.
For flying the loudspeaker or for fixing it on a wall or ceiling we recommend you to use the accessories "Adjustable Speaker Mount GRAVIS 15", "U-Mount Wall/Ceiling Bracket GRAVIS 15" or "Adjustable Wall Mount 50". By using these accessories, you can easily adjust mounted speakers to the desired position.
When operating upright, the GRAVIS 15 N has a practice-orientated coverage characteristic of 65° x 50° (hor. x vert.), the GRAVIS 15 W has 90° x 50° (hor. x vert.). When you use it as a stage monitor, you have a good coverage into the depth of the stage and an optimal lateral sound field boundary on the stage.
Configuration and Connecting Diagram Controller Mode 'Full-Range' If you want to operate the GRAVIS 15 in fullrange mode, then select in the CD 44 the LSBlock Gra-15N FR for the GRAVIS 15 N or the Gra-15W FR for the GRAVIS 15 W.
