Status Led; Connecting Cords - HK Audio 5 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

7 Status LED

This dual-color LED indicates the status of the LINEAR 5 LTS A mid/high
unit (green = power on, red = limit / error). It briefl y fl ashes red to indicate
the Limiter is kicking in when signal levels spike.
Heads up! If the LED always lights up red at peaks, this tells you that the
system is being overloaded. Back off the Gain knob to reduce the input
level. If you are not routing a signal in and the Status LED stays red, an
error has occurred.
8 Power
This is the LINEAR 5 LTS A's on/off button. The status LED lights up green
when this button is engaged.
9 Mains
Use the factory-included IEC mains cord to connect this socket to a wall
outlet.
Note: The LINEAR 5 LTS A is equipped with a V-Lock mains cord retainer.
If you use an optionally available Volex locking cord or another brand of
cord with a compatible design, you can lock the mains cord in place to
prevent accidental disconnection.

2 Connecting Cords

• The LINEAR 5 LTS A is designed mainly to serve as a mid/high unit
in combination with LINEAR SUB series subwoofers. For this primary
application, plug one end of a cord equipped with XLR connectors into the
subwoofer's Line Out Mid/High power and the other end into the LTS A's
Input.
• If you wish to use the speakers without subwoofers purely for speech
reinforcement, insert a cord with balanced XLR / ¼" jack plugs to route
the line signal from the mixing console to the LTS A's Input.
• If you wish to route the incoming signal to another destination, connect
an XLR cord to the THRU port.
3 Operating the Speaker
• Make sure that the LINEAR 5 LTS A is switched off .
Caution! Always make sure the local mains voltage matches the voltage
specifi ed on the LTS A. You may destroy the powered speaker's electronic
components if you connect it to the wrong mains voltage.
• Ensure all connected line sources are switched on before powering up.
First switch on the connected mixer and all signal sources connected to
it, for example, keyboards, amps, eff ects, and so forth. Always switch the
LINEAR 5 LTS A speaker on last; that is, after you switch on all connected
devices, and always switch it off fi rst; that is, before you switch off all
connected devices.
• When you press the Power button, the fan will briefl y start up (system
check) and stop after about fi ve seconds. After this check, the fan will
be managed by the speaker's electronic circuitry. It runs only at very high
volume levels and is temperature-controlled. The Status LED lights up red
during the system check, and then green if there is no malfunction and
the unit is getting mains power.
• The Gain knob's standard setting is the 12 o'clock position (0 dB /center-
notched). This is the preferred setting if you are using a mixing console to
address the LINEAR 5 A LTS A.
• Then select the appropriate mode using the Mid/High Preset rotary
selector.
• If you hear distortion or the signal sounds like it's clipping, fi rst check the
signal sources and, if possible, reduce the output signal level there.
