IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS – carefully and become familiar with the features
and functions of these products before operating them.
2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS – for future reference.
3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this
product should be adhered to.
4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other
equipment, it is advisable to establish and follow a routine for powering up and
powering down a sound system. With all system components connected, turn
on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback units,
etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up
source equipment can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on.
Make sure that amplier volumes are set to their minimum settings and power
up any system ampliers LAST. It is recommended that all system components
be allowed to stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are
introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting
systems down, turn all amplifiers off first, before powering down any other
system components.
5. CABLES – Do not use shielded or microphone cables for connection between
amplifiers and speakers. Use only approved speaker cables with proper
connectors.
6. CAUTION – These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of
generating very high sound pressure levels. Use care with placement and
operation to avoid exposure to excessive volume levels. Permanent hearing
damage can result when operated to extreme levels.

should not attempt to service this product. Warranty nullication could result if
this is attempted.
8. RIGGING - SUSPENDING - MOUNTING - Rigging suspending or mounting of
speaker systems can expose members of the public to serious health risks and
even death.

OTHERWISE MOUNT THESE SPEAKERS UNLESS YOU ARE
FULLY QUALIFIED AND CERTIFIED TO DO SO BY RELEVANT
LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL AUTHORITIES. ALL RELEVANT

KINETIC SERIES CONNECTION PANELS
Kinetic Series loudspeakers feature parallel wired inputs. Either input can be used
for a simple system, and 2 speakers can be parallel wired using a standard
speaker cable. When parallel wiring loudspeakers always take into consideration
the load you are putting on your amplier. 2 parallel wired Kinetic loudspeakers
will produce a 2 ohm load.

Kinetic 18B Subwoofers have HPF outputs so you can use just one channel of an
amplier for each side of a full range system. Run your speaker wires to the input
of the sub and another speaker wire from the subwoofer hi-pass output to the
input of the full range speaker on a stand or sitting on top of the sub.
