16. WARNING! Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation or placement. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the ins

Integrated Suspension Points (suspended installations) WARNING! When suspending the loudspeakers, installation must be accomplished by or under the supervision of a licensed installation professional. All applicable building codes must be followed. The KW122 enclosure has eight, and the KW152 and KW153 enclosures each feature eleven load-rated M10 installation points. As shipped from the factory, each installation point has a flat head screw installed to acoustically seal the loudspeaker system

If the rear POWER LED does not illuminate when the POWER switch is placed in the ON position during the first 5 minutes of power being applied, verify the AC mains power cord is properly attached to the loudspeaker and plugged into the AC source outlet. Verify the outlet is functioning properly. If the AC mains cord is serviceable and the AC mains outlet is operating properly, but the loudspeaker fails to operate, the loudspeaker may require servicing.

Channel A Channel A accepts either microphone or line level inputs. The MIC/LINE IN A inputs can use either a: • Male XLR connector, or a • Male 1/4" phone jack (TS or TRS type). The KW122, KW152, and KW153 feature a 4-position rotary switch (MIC/LINE GAIN) to provide input gain flexibility. • 0 dB – Regular line level, no additional gain. • 12 dB – Pre-amp is engaged, primarily for low line levels that need extra gain. • 24 dB – Pre-amp is engaged and MIC LED illuminates. For direct microphone

High-frequency EQ On the KW122, KW152 and KW153 there are two high-frequency settings. From the factory, the switch is set to FLAT. This means that the loudspeaker system is producing a flat response through the vocal band. This is the standard setting for most applications. In voice-only reproduction, the switch can be set to the VOCAL BOOST setting. This will engage EQ that gives a stronger presence for vocal intelligibility and presence. It is generally not recommended to use this setting

Additional Features Standby All KW Series models are equipped with an automatic standby feature to conserve energy when the systems are not in use. If no signal is present on any input, or the gain knob is turned to off for five minutes, the power amplifier goes into standby and the green STBY LED illuminates. In this mode, the amplifier is powered down. A small amount of current will continue to flow from the AC power source into the power supply of the KW Series. This current keeps the powe

Remote Gain Attenuator A 3-pin “Euro” connector is provided to attenuate the volume of the KW Series loudspeaker or put the system into standby from a remote location. The Remote Gain connector can only attenuate the output signal level below the level set by the Channel A and Channel B Gain knobs. By varying the voltage on (pin 2) between (pin 1) and (pin 3, ground), the volume can be linearly controlled. The voltage on can be created by using
