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 the 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:
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.
