  • Page 3: Package Contents

    Depending on the size, Klein + Hummel’s three-way systems are designed for use as near field monitors through to large main control room monitors. They can be used in music, broadcast, and post production studios for tracking, mixing, and mastering.
  • Page 4: System Block Diagrams

    Refer to the detailed product specifications section for information on the crossover frequencies, amplifier power, and driver types. When the Pro C 28 external controller is used on an O 300 D, all internal limiters are bypassed, except the bass channel peak limiter.

XLR digital input connections on the O 300 D An AES3id or S/P-DIF signal (applied to the BNC connector) can be looped using a T-piece connector (not supplied) for connecting additional monitors to the input signal.
  • Page 8: Acoustical Controls

    O 300 D To connect multiple O 300 D monitors together, use BNC T-piece connectors (not supplied) - see picture below. in The digital input can be applied to either the XLR or BNC input of the first loudspeaker in the chain. BNC connectors should be used for the rest of the loudspeakers in the chain.
  • Page 9 The input attenuator control allows the loudspeaker to be matched to a wide range of equipment outputs whilst maintaining the desired acoustical output. In the O 300 D, the attenuator affects the output level as it is positioned after the DAC. As with any other component in the audio chain, it is best to use the lowest gain for the application so as to minimize amplification of the preceding equipment’s source noise.
  • Page 10: Other Controls

    The maximum level that the O 300 electronic balanced input stage can accept is +20 dBu (7.75 V). The maximum level that the O 300 D transformer balanced input stage can accept is +24 dBu (12.3 V). To avoid clipping the input stage, decrease the amount of input attenuation.
  • Page 11 Klein + Hummel On the O 300 D there is the facility to connect a Pro C 28 using the power amplifier direct input. This adds the possibility to compensate the response for amplitude and phase anomalies resulting from the monitor’s placement in the room or the acoustic conditions of the room.
  • Page 12: System Use

    Angled metal brackets on the rear panel can be used to mount the cabinet on a wall or as handles to lift the loudspeaker. Note: Do not place the O 300 (D) face down on a flat surface as the midrange driver will be damaged.
  • Page 13 Failing this, appropriate electronic time delays should be added to compensate for time of flight differences. This can either be a Pro C 28 inserted into the signal chain before an O 300 or a Pro C 28 attached to the power amplifier direct input on an O 300 D.

    As the original packing is primarily designed to get the loudspeaker from the factory to the end user, it is highly recommended that a flight case is used if the loudspeaker is regularly moved between locations. One O 300 (D) can be packed in the flight case.
