Installing and connecting the KH 80 DSP

CAUTION

Danger of injury and material damage due to tipping/dropping of the product!

If improperly mounted, the product and/or the mounting hardware (e.g. rack) can tip over

or drop down.

Always have the product mounted by a qualiﬁed specialist according to local, national

and international regulations and standards.

Use the mounting systems recommended by Neumann and always provide sucient

additional protection against tipping or dropping.

CAUTION

Damage to the product due to overheating!

If air cannot circulate properly around the cooling vents on the rear of the product, the

ampliﬁer(s) may overheat leading to premature activation of the thermal protection system

which limits the maximum output level of the loudspeaker. In rare cases, damage to the

product may also occur.

Never cover the cooling vents.

When installing the product into tight spaces such as wall recesses, maintain an air gap

of at least 5 cm (2") around the top, rear and side panels of the product and provide suf-

ﬁcient air circulation. If necessary, use forced-air cooling (e.g. in OB vans).

For information on installation, please refer to the supplied “Getting Started Quickly”

supplement. This will help you set up the loudspeakers in a way that will give you the

best acoustic performance from the system.

For further information on setting up loudspeakers, please refer to the “Questions &

Answers” section on the product page at www.neumann.com.

Preparing the loudspeakers

CAUTION

Risk of staining surfaces!

Some surfaces treated with varnish, polish or synthetics may suer from stains when they

come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used

by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining.

Do not place the loudspeaker on delicate surfaces.

To place the loudspeaker on a ﬂat surface:

Attach the supplied self-adhesive feet to the bottom of the cabinet.

This reduces the risk of scratching the surface and acoustically isolates the loudspeaker

from the surface.

Preparing the room

Arrange all acoustically relevant surfaces and objects symmetrically on either side of the

listening axis of the room (left/right).

Minimize the sound that is reﬂected back to the listening position by using angled surfaces

and/or acoustical treatment.

This product has been optimized for use in recording studios. In order not to aect the

quality of reproduction, make sure that the product is used in an EMC (electromagneti-

cally compatible) environment.
