A suitable power cable in compliance with current safety norms must be used to connect the unit.
• The amplifier connected to the unit must only be switched on after having connected and switched on all the other components of the sound reinforcement/recording system, to avoid annoying noises that can sometimes damage the loudspeakers.
• The unit must only be moved when the cables are disconnected.
• Only dedicated accessories, specifically designed for the system, or any standard accessories foreseen may be used when installing.
• The mechanical operation of the product and the accessories used must be checked periodically.
• This unit produces high sound pressure levels that can damage hearing if listened to under incorrect conditions.
• The unit must only be opened and/or repaired by spe- cialist staff.
• For any requirements of a technical nature, contact OUTLINE or authorized staff.

System description.

Conceived and manufactured to give clients a flexible and easy to use product introduction to Outline, the new Ki SP series brings the engineering quality, distinctive lines and audio performance that have made the Italian brand an international reference point in sound reinforcement.
Both Ki 10 SP and Ki 12 SP’s compact dimensions, audio performance and thoughtful design make them ideal solutions for a wide variety of permanently installed applications.
Ki 10 SP and Ki 12 SP self-powered loudspeakers are equipped with 10” and 12” LF transducers respectively, both of which feature a 2.5” voice coil for high power and reliability. A 1.5” diaphragm compression driver provides the HF reproduction. The Outline- designed passive crossover networks fitted to both models also make them very efficient in terms of amplifier channels and external control. Both products also feature another Outline first, a brand new design of rotatable waveguide. Many comparable loudspeakers offer this facility but Outline’s Ki-series are the first to allow the installer to quickly and easily rotate the entire horn and HF section without any disassembly of the loudspeaker. This piece of original engineering offers a real advantage in small rooms or those with low headroom, as the HF horn can be quickly adjusted to ensure the required dispersion (100° x 50° or 50° x 100°) regardless of the orientation of the cabinet.

Operation (rotatable horn).

It is possible to rotate the Ki’s horn without removing the front grille. Just unlock the four screws and spin the wheel using the two openings on the front of the speaker. Then retighten the screws to lock the horn in he new position. Please note that when the horn is in vertical position it is shown through four dedicated red dots in the openings (one on each side as shown in the figure below).

Overall dimensions.

Rigging instructions.

This series offers many rigging possibilities: eighteen M8 points are available for multiple purposes. The loudspeaker can be rigged using the appropriate wall mount accessories (WME75 for Ki 10 SP, WHH100-B,
TH100-B and STAND-WALL1 for both). Outline recommends to always use a secondary safety device when the system are rigged. The loudspeaker can also be mounted directly on a 35 mm speaker stand.

Amplification.

The amplifiers are directly integrated into the cabinet.
The amplifier module is completely autonomous and designed to be immediately ready for use (plug & play) once connected to the power.
The integrated DSP allows the management of the input signal and control through the dedicated section available by connecting to the processor with a USB cable (type B). Before doing this connection, you need to download and install the ArmoníaPlus, amplifiers’ management software.
Below you will find the elements offered by the management panel:

AUTO SELECT 100/240 V~ 50-60 Hz| Input & Output power: Powercon True1 (IP65) with a parallel output link at 220 V or 110 V.
W (order
---|---
| Analog signal input: XLR connector for balanced analog signal.
Analog signal link: XLR connector in parallel to the input connect
| Potentiometer and LEDs: the system gain can be regulated with the dedicated potentiometer which can be set from -∞ to +6 dB.
STATUS LED: if it is off, the system is down. If it is GREEN, the system is ready to play and standby mode is disabled. If it is CYAN the system is ready to play but standby mode is enabled.
It is BLUE when the system is in standby mode; SIGNAL LED: when
it is off there is no input signal, when the signal is present and the output level is in the linear range, it is GREEN. If it is YELLOW, the
input signal is strong enough to engage the output limiter. If it is
RED Input signal is too high; CLIP/TEMP LED: when it is off the
system temperature is ok and there is no signal clipping. A  YELLOW
clip/temp LED indicates high system temperature and the DSP will lower the clipping  voltage level to reduce the output power and limit the increase of temperature. If it is RED,  there is an output signal  clipping. By  factory default the ‘standby mode’ is active. By pressing the preset select push- button for at least 3 seconds the user can toggle the standby mode: when active, after 15 minutes of no input signal (input level below -45 dBu) the Ki-SP  enters a low power operating mode (standby) and sends a signal to the power amplifier that turn off the output stages. The system turns back operating when the input signal level exceeds -45 dBu.
| Preset selection: button for the selection of one of the four available presets. It is possible to see the active preset with the help of the dedicated LEDs.
| USB input type B: USB port dedicated to DSP control through PC and Armonía Plus software.

Presets.

Outline has made available four presets that are potentially useful in any situation.
On the rear panel there is a button for selecting one of the available presets. These presets are named according to the needs they were designed for:

• FLAT;
• BASS BOOST;
• LOUDNESS, for low volume listening;
• PRESENCE, for speech applications.
