EAW transactions are made with the assumption that the purchaser is a qualified individual or will have only qualified individuals perform work with the equipment. EAW will not be liable for any damages arising from the use of equipment sold to purchaser. -

Although EAW will help in any way possible, it is always the responsibility of the receiving party to file any shipping damage claim. The carrier will help prepare and file this claim. -
Page 6: Kf730 Array Design
Use the KF730 Wizard for designing KF730 arrays. It can be found in the Downloads/Software section of the EAW website (www.eaw.com). The Wizard’s primary function is to determine the configuration that will provide the best vertical performance for a given application. Various venue dimensions are entered that allow the Wizard to calculate the resultant array performance. -

SB730s. 4.4.3 Suspending SB730 Subwoofers The SB730 enclosure rigging is designed to directly couple to a KF730 Fly-Bar and KF730 enclosures. As such, the SB730 can be rigged seamlessly with KF730s. 6 / 4 RD0169 (A) KF730 & SB730 OWNER’S MANUAL Page 7 of 28... - Page 8 KF730 Wizard. When flown separately, SB730s should be flown so that the spacing between the line of SB730 enclosures and KF730 enclosures is about 1 ft / 0.3 m. The SB730 should be suspended in a flat- fronted configuration.

EAW’s recommended processor settings. KF730 array performance, in terms of frequency response, beamwidth consistency, output level capability, and wavefront coherency is dependent on the EAW engineered crossover and other processing settings.

Page 10: Amplifier Gain Settings
The KF730 is a bi-amplified loudspeaker, requiring one LF and one MF/HF amplifier channel. The SB730 has two drivers (SUB 1 and SUB 2) wired separately to the input connectors. This means the drivers can be connected in parallel to a single amplifier channel or each can be connected to a separate amplifier channel. - Page 11 The following tables list the rms voltage limits for the KF730 and SB730. Because of their higher impedance design, multiple KF730s and SB730s can be powered from single amplifier channels. NOTE: The rms Voltage Limit listed for each sub-system (LF, MF/HF, SUB 1/2, or SUB 1 and SUB 2) is the same for any enclosure quantity.

6 dB, which is usually, but not always, true. Under this condition, the thermal limits are unlikely to be exceeded. While this rule of thumb is consistent with the EAW’s testing parameters, it does NOT guarantee trouble-free operation. That is discussed under “Operating Limits.”... - Page 13 SB730 SYSTEM INPUT on one SB730, an NL8 cable carries all amplified signals from the array’s amplifiers to this SB730. Using NL4 cabling from this SB730, you can loop up to eight KF730s and three additional SB730s. With the maximum combination, the nominal load for each of the four amplified signals is 2 ohms.

Page 15: Rigging
Because it weighs approximately 111 lb / 51 kg, always use two people or mechanical assistance to lift an SB730. IMPORTANT RIGGING NOTE: Each Quick Release Pin, used to attach enclosures together, can be inserted into one of several holes in both the Hinges and Hinge Tubes integral to the enclosures. -

Hinge and holes on both sides of each Hinge tube. If properly inserted, a Quick Release Pin will be locked in place and can only be pulled out by pressing the button on its handle.

Each SB730 is supplied with four 1.5 inch Quick Release Pins used for attaching enclosures together or to the Fly-Bar.

6.6.5 SB730 Pallet Place one SB730 or a stack two SB730 enclosures on the pallet oriented right side up. If placing two SB730s on a Pallet, lock the enclosures together by sliding the Hinges from the lower enclosure up into the Hinge Tubes of the upper enclosures. Attach each Hinge to the upper enclosure’s Hinge Tube using the Quick Release Pin from the lower enclosure. -

6.7.3 Attaching a KF730 or SB730 to the Fly-Bar 1. Lift the Fly-Bar onto the top of the KF730 or SB730. Orient the Fly-Bar with its corner Hinge Tubes to the front of the loudspeakers. 2. Remove the four (SB730) or six (KF730) Quick Release Pins from the top of the enclosure’s Hinge Tubes. - Page 21 NOTE: SB730s should always be flown tight-packed to each other. 1. Move an SB730 Pallet so its SB730 is positioned under the bottom SB730 of the array. 2. Remove the four Quick Release Pins from the Hinges of the SB730 on the pallet.

Page 22: Ground Stacking Procedures
IMPORTANT NOTE: If using one or more SB730s as the stacking base, all KF730 and SB730 enclosures are stacked right side up. Always stack all SB730s underneath the KF730s. 1. At the desired stacking location, position an SB730 on the floor with the Hinges on the top, this being the normal orientation for suspension. - Page 23 CAUTION: When attaching Hinges to Hinge Tubes in step 5 for an SB730, position the SB730 so it lies flat on the SB730 below it. In step 5 for a KF730, use the correct holes as determined by the KF730 Wizard or by the user-desired angles to achieve the desired splay angle. Failure to follow this instruction can result in poor acoustical performance.

Page 27: Maintenance
While the enclosure paint finish and wood is of high quality and durability, mars, marks, and other blemishes will likely appear from normal use. For paint touchup, contact the EAW Service Department for original factory paint (Sherwin-Williams Polane® 700T, water reducible polyurethane-acrylic enamel) and instructions for its application. - Page 28 © 2004 EASTERN ACOUSTIC WORKS ONE MAIN STREET WHITINSVILLE, MA 01588 2004 Mar RD0169 Page 28 of 28 RD0169 (A) KF730 & SB730 OWNER’S MANUAL...
