FAQ

Q. What is the maximum Delay time?
A. The maximum Delay time is 100mS, which equates to
approximately 112.6ft (34.6m).
Q. Why is there no DEEP setting?
A. DEEP™ (Digital Extension and Excursion Processing) is now
built into a number of Presets, including Dance, Live, Bass
Amp and Studio Monitor. If the user feels there is too much
bass present, it can always be dialed-back through the unit’s
equalization settings.
Q. What is the HI-Z selection on Input 2 for?
A. The HI-Z (High Impedance) input is a 250 kΩ selection for
passive instruments such as electric bass, acoustic guitar,
mandolin, banjo, ukulele, etc.
Q. How do I make my DSP settings (presets/scenes
etc) and input gains tamper-proof?
A. An accessory Lock-out Cover (K.2-LOC) is available.
Q. Can I still defeat the Front Power LED?
A. Yes. Like the legacy K Series, the front LED can be defeated.
Q. Can I link the Front LED to the Limiter like
legacy K?
A. No. This feature has been removed.
Q. Is the K TOTE compatible with both legacy K and
K.2 series?
A. Yes. They can be used interchangeably.
Q. Is the K OUTDOOR COVER compatible with both
legacy K and K.2 series?
A. Yes. They can be used interchangeably.
Q. Is the K YOKE compatible with both legacy K and
K.2 series?
A. No. The K.2 uses a new design of Yoke brackets, specific to
this Series.
Q. Does the new K YOKE operate both vertically and
horizontally?
A. Yes. The Yoke is telescopic and can be shortened or
lengthened to accommodate either orientation.
Q. Is the M10 KIT-C compatible with both legacy K
and K.2 Series?
A. Yes. Please note however that the K.2 includes an integrated
Pull-back point, therefore only two (2) eyebolts are required
for flying the K.2 models, as compared with legacy K which
requires three (3).
Q. How does the weight of the K.2 Series compare
with legacy K?
A. The K8.2 is the exact same weight as the legacy K8 (27 lbs or
12.2 kg) and the K10.2 is the exact same weight as the K10
(32 lbs or 14.5 kg). The K12.2 however is slightly lighter than
the K12 (40 lbs vs 41 lbs or 17.7 kg vs 18.6 kg).
Q. Is the fan in the K.2 Series variable speed?
A. Yes. Once the amplifier reaches a certain temperature, the fan
engages at very a low speed, and as the amplifier heats up,
a clever algorithm in the DSP will instruct the fan to speed up
accordingly.
Q. Can I mix-and-match up my legacy K and KW
Series loudspeakers with newer K.2 loudspeakers?
A. As long as they are separated by a short distance then yes, it
will be fine. For example if you are using the new K.2
oudspeakers for your mains and KW or legacy K’s for your
monitors, then this will work perfectly fine. What is not
recommended however is attempting to “array” K.2
loudspeakers alongside K or KW Series within close proximity.
For broader coverage, two or more speakers may be splayed
(aimed so that the horizontal coverage of the speakers has
minimum overlap). For best results, this should always be
done with identical speakers.
Q. Can I use my existing KW181 with any K.2 model?
A. Yes. In the crossover section, simply select 100Hz which is
phase-optimized for the KW181.
Q. Can I use the new KS212c Cardioid Sub with any
K.2 model?
A. Yes. In the crossover section, simply select 80Hz which is
phase-optimized for the KS Series.
Q. Can I use my existing KSUB with any K.2 model?
A. Yes and no. The smaller K8.2 and K10.2 are a suitable one-to-
one match for the existing KSUB. Simply go to the crossover
section and select the 100Hz setting. The larger K12.2 however
will over-power the KSUB and is not deemed a suitable match.
Q. What is the HF crossover point on the K.2 Series?
A. 2 kHz, which is the optimal lower bandpass for the K.2
compression driver
