It serves to balance the volume levels of the various systems. In or- der to avoid overloading the input circuit or mixer’s output circuit, it should normally be set in the case of K&F full-range systems at 0 dB (centre notch setting).

The coverage pattern of the speaker can be adapted to special needs by a 90° rotatable horn. The following graphics demonstrate how to recognize how the built-in horn emits in a standing speaker: To determine the coverage pattern of the high frequency horn, shine a flashlight through the front covering at the level of the horn.
User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP 9. Mounting Instructions for Speakers Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the speakers securely so that they do not fall. Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured with securing straps.
User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP 9.2 Arrayed Speaker Systems (Cluster) If the loudspeakers are operated through the optional K&F C2 System Controller, we recommend turning on the 'Top Low Cut' switch for clustered operation.

User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP 11. Configurations and Connecting Diagrams 11.1 Operating the Systems without C2 Controller The full-range system can be used alone or in conjunction with an SP subwoofer. The subwoofer has an integrated filter for use in this mode, which limits the bandwidth. The full-range system is protected against low frequency (subsonic) signals by a high- pass filter and when used with bass speakers it is phase aligned with the subwoofers by means of alignment filters.
User’s Manual LINE 212-6 - SP / LINE 212-9 - SP 11.1.2 Full Range Mode with Subwoofer You can link the input signal (for example from the mixer) from one loudspeaker to another. It makes no difference whether the input signal reaches the bass speaker first and is then transmitted to the mid-high speaker or the other way around.
