    K&F PASSIO 4.1.3 Controller￿Mode￿with￿Subwoofer￿in￿Overlap￿Mode In full-range mode, the speaker PASSIO is compatible with all K&F subwoofers that are run in the 100Hz mode. This so-called 'overlap mode' can make sense for surround uses when the tops should transmit the complete frequency spectrum and the subwoofer is used as an 'effect bass'.
  • Page 15 User's manual K&F PASSIO Passive￿Mode￿(without￿Controller) The PASSIO system is designed so that it can be operated passively without a controller directly on a power amplifier. Follow the instructions in chapter "[Protecting the Speakers / Operating Safety]" be- ginning on page 10.
  • Page 16 User's manual K&F PASSIO Wiring￿instructions • Before connecting your PASSIO loudspeaker switch off all equipment and turn down all level controls. • Only use high-quality speaker cables with a sufficient wire gauge. The wire gauge depends on the length of the speaker cable.
  • Page 17 If speakers are to be flown, this always means there is a high safety hazard. As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the PASSIO System every time you suspend it and take it down. For fixed installations, you must inspect the speaker for signs of wear at regular intervals.
