SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The uniform dispersion of the Kinetic Active Series makes it easy to position the speakers where
you need them, rather than trying to rearrange the room to accommodate the sound system. And
the trapezoidal shaped cabinet with heavy duty handles makes transporting the speakers that
much easier. An integral Aluminium stand socket(Kinetic 18BA) allows you to place the speakers
high above the audience for best sound coverage..
When you don't think you are getting all the bass you need, the Kinetic Active Series has a
great sub: the Kinetic 18BA. This is a powerful bass reflex subwoofer that gives you the lowest
frequencies and the punch you need. The Kinetic 18BA is a straight forward, no nonsense 18-inch
bass reflex subwoofer with exceptional low frequency response.

CONNECTIONS AND WIRING

Connecting the Kinetic Active Series to your system is easy. The input panel includes parallel
TRS 6.35mm(1/4") and XLR connectors. Run your signal wires from your mixer or other line level
components, to the speaker; you can use either input connector. Be sure to run the audio cables
separately from the power cables.
In addition to microphones, your Kinetic Active system will accommodate many sources. Some of
these sources may require special adapters or adapter cables. See the "Connectors" section for
more information.

CONNECTING A PASSIVE MONITOR TO THE Kinetic 12MA

When additional coverage or power is needed an extra passive monitor(For example the Kinetic
12M) can be powered in parallel from the internal amplifier of the Kinetic 12MA.
A standard speaker cable is used to connect the Kinetic 12MA output to the input of the additional
monitor.
