KALI AUDIO WS-12 Studio/Live Subwoofer User’s Guide 9
Volume Control
The volume control allows users to adjust the output of the speaker from -∞ to
+6 dB. There is a center detente at the +0 dB setting. When using the crossovers
for the LP-6 or the LP-8/IN-8, leave the volume at the center detente on all Kali
speakers. We have calibrated the levels, which will help you get closer to a precise
match in your environment.
For all other speakers, it will be necessary to match the level of the subwoofer to
the other speakers manually.
RCA Inputs (-10 dBV Sensitivity)
The RCA input is for use with consumer devices like record players, laptops, smart
phones, and media players. Commonly, the playback device will either have an
RCA or a 3.5mm (Aux) output. Cables from either of these outputs to RCA are easy
to find.
By default, the RCA input on the speaker is OFF. This is to prevent interference
when that input is not being used. When connecting to the RCA input, enable it
by moving switch #8 on the dip switches UP to the ON position. If the RCA input is
no longer being used, be sure to move switch #8 back DOWN to the OFF position.
Inputs and Controls
Dip Switch Quick Reference Guide
The quick reference guide on the back of the speaker can help you set the dip
switches to the appropriate positions for your application without needing to con-
sult this manual.
XLR Outputs
Use the XLR Outputs to pass signal through the subwoofer and to a stereo pair
of speakers. The signal from the subwoofer will be high-passed according to the
crossover set with dip switches 1-4. If using more than 2 full-range speakers, it is
recommended to use an external processor and crossover.
XLR/TRS Combi Jack Inputs (+4 dBu Sensitivity)
The XLR/TRS input is for use with professional audio devices like mixers, interfaces,
and controllers. Depending on your device, it will either use XLR or ¼” TRS out-
puts, either of which can be used with this input.
