READ THIS FIRST! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

Warning symbol. This symbol is designed to warn the user of the presence of important instructions mentioned in the user manual and relating to the handling and maintenance of the device.

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all the instructions.
5. To avoid damaging your hearing, do not listen to loudspeakers at high volumes for long periods of time. Listening to loudspeakers at high volumes can cause damage to the user’s ears and may lead to hearing problems (temporary or permanent deafness, buzzing in the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis). Exposure to excessive volumes (over 85 dB) for more than one hour can cause irreparable damage to your hearing.
6. If a subwoofer is installed in the vehicle, it is important to secure it by attaching it firmly. We recommend fixing the sub to the floor or chassis of the vehicle for safety. If the subwoofer is not properly secured, it could become a projectile in the event of an accident. This is even more important if the subwoofer is installed in a hatchback, a station wagon, a utility vehicle or a van.
7. If cords or connectors are supplied, use them properly as described in this user manual without substituting them or modifying them in any way.
8. If the kit or connector includes a fuse, it must only be replaced by a fuse of the same rating. (CEI 60417-6044)

The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to any surface (vehicle floor or chassis) depend on the conditions and standards of installation, refurbishment, safety and cabling in force and applicable to the surfaces and/or brackets involved. In addition, the products may vibrate and damage the brackets onto which they are mounted. For this reason, the installation operations must be performed by a qualified professional who is familiar with installation and safety standards. Focal does not provide any end-of-use warranty for a given bracket or installation, as installing the loudspeakers is the customer’s sole responsibility. Focal is therefore not liable in any capacity whatsoever in the event of incident, accident and/or any other result or damage of any kind related to the installation of loudspeakers.
In the event of a problem, please contact your Focal dealer.

Thank you for purchasing a Focal product. Welcome to our High-Fidelity world. Innovation, tradition, excellence and pleasure are our values; our one and only aim is to bring you a sound that is rich, pure and true. To get the most out of your product, we recommend that you read the instructions in this booklet, then store it in a safe place to refer to in the future if needed.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

First of all, check the space available for fitting the speaker drivers (refer to the plans on the packaging) then proceed with the cutting required. If mounted in the factory location, check that there is sufficient space between the speaker driver and the protective grille.

• Keep the speaker drivers clear of any metal shavings and dust particles during the cutting process.
• Clean thoroughly before fitting the speaker drivers.
• Ensure that there are no objects positioned across the grille, as this could damage the speaker drivers.

Choosing an amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeaker and drivers, but rather a lack of power. It is recommended to use an amplifier that delivers 20% more power than the system’s total power to avoid a surge or damage to the products. Your dealer will be able to guide you, depending on your tastes and budget. Ensure that you follow the recommendations for your amplifier in order to correctly connect each product from the K2 Power M line.
Pre-installation wiring You will only be able to begin fitting your loudspeakers once you have connected them using the terminal block on the speaker drivers (fig. 3). We recommend using a cable with a marker to ensure the polarity of the speaker drivers is respected (+/-).

INSTALLATION

Please use suitable screws to avoid damaging your sub, your vehicle trim or any of its other components (fig. 1).

Loudspeaker positioning
The loudspeakers in the range have been designed to deliver the most faithful sound reproduction for any style of music. Nonetheless, a few simple rules should be followed to optimise their performance and to guarantee good tonal balance and a realistic sound image (fig. 4 & 5).

SUB 5 KM
Please use suitable screws to avoid damaging your sub, the floor of your vehicle or any of its other components (fig. 8). Connect your subwoofer to the amplifier using the terminal block located on the side of the speaker driver (fig. 9). Ensure that the subwoofer is pointing towards an open space in order to achieve the best performance.

For the purposes of improvement or to take into account any legal or regulatory changes, FOCAL-JMLab reserves the right to modify the technical specifications of its products without prior notice. Where applicable, the images shown are intended for illustration purposes only, and may differ slightly from the product sold.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Maintenance
To look after the K2 Power M loudspeakers, simply dust using a dry cloth. If the grille is marked, we recommend that you use just a damp duster. Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrapers or scouring utensils to clean the surface of the speaker drivers.

Running-in period
The speaker drivers used are complex mechanical components that require a running-in period to operate at their best. This running-in period varies depending on the conditions in question and may take several weeks. To reduce this time, we recommend operating your speaker drivers for about 20 hours at a moderate volume. Once the speaker drivers’ characteristics have fully stabilised, you will be able to enjoy the performance of your K2 Power M products to the full.

Conditions of warranty

All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by the official Focal distributor in your country. Your distributor can provide all details concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty cover extends at least to that granted by the legal warranty in force in the country where the original purchase invoice was issued.
