SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Please read all safety instructions found opposite
page 1 of this section of the manual.
KT-8 line array speakers should only be installed
by experienced personnel with adequate knowl-
edge. Phonic takes no responsibility for incorrectly
mounted, suspended, or wired speakers, nor are we
responsible for issues arising from equipment not
inspected prior to use.
When working with the KT-8 line array systems, the
total working load should not exceed the resistance
of each individual component. This includes flight
pins, joint bars, flight frames and speaker cabinets.
While the Phonic flight frame and KT-8 speakers
have a maximum capacity of 1000 kg, consideration
of other elements of the setup should be taken into
consideration. This may including hoisting ropes and
other suspension materials.
Phonic suggests a safety ratio of 5:1. With this in
mind, a total load of 200 kg should be the aim when
creating your line array using the KT-8 and Phonic
FF640 flight frame. As previously stated, however,
the total resistance of other components of the setup
should be taken into account.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CARRY A LINE-ARRAY.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to lift a
line array by yourself. Mechanical winches and other
hoisting devices are recommended.
The KT-8 is equipped with an internal passive cross-
over for mid/highs. There is no crossover present on
the woofer. Please note that incorrectly wired speak-
ers may cause damage to the unit.
Phonic recommends taking the utmost of care
when wiring and/or connecting speakers. A 2-way
crossover with a crossover point at 500Hz is best to
separate low frequencies from the mid/highs. The
ideal frequency range for the KT-8's 8" woofer is
60Hz to 500Hz, while the mid/high range works best
at 500Hz to 20 kHz.
