DESCRIPTION
KXL 4-A / KXL C4-A – KXP 4-A / KXP C4-А – KXW 4-A / KXW C4-А The KX 4-A and KX C4-A
modules deliver top quality sound for demanding events indoors or outdoors, and for small- to medium-sized areas. Their design provide the audio engineer with tonal balance and intelligibility while maintaining an unobtrusive and adaptable footprint. Offering all the advantages of line array technology, such as high directivity, long range and uniform level distribution, they are the preferred sound set-up for high quality suspended systems both in vertical and horizontal arrangement. Each model offers a different coverage depending on the horn mounted on the speaker.
REAR PANEL FEATURES AND CONTROLS
- FEMALE XLR INPUTS (BAL/UNBAL) The system accepts XLR input connectors.
- MALE XLR SIGNAL OUTPUT The output XLR connector provides a loop through for speakers daisy chaining. The balanced connector is connected in parallel and can be used to send the audio signal to other amplified speakers or supplementary amplifiers.
- SYSTEM SET UP ENCODER Pushing the encoder allows the user to select a function (gain reduction, delay, preset). Rotate the encoder to select a value or a preset.
- A POWER / GAIN REDUCTION LED POWER LED: This LED illuminates green when the speaker is properly connected to the main power supply, confirming that the device is powered and ready for operation. GAIN REDUCTION LED: This LED activates when the gain adjustment encoder is pressed. Once lit, rotating the encoder allows the user to set the desired gain reduction. The adjustment provides fine control:
- Increments of 0.1 dB for the first 10 dB of reduction.
- Increments of 1 dB beyond 10 dB up to the maximum reduction of 99 dB.
- This system ensures precise and customizable volume control tailored to the audio environment.
- DELAY / SIGNAL LED SIGNAL LED: This indicator lights green when an audio signal is detected at the main input, confirming that the signal is actively being received by the speaker. DELAY LED: Press the encoder twice to activate the delay adjustment mode, indicated by the green delay LED. Rotate the encoder to set the desired delay value. Adjustments are made in 0.1-meter increments for the first 10 meters. Beyond 10 meters, adjustments are made in 1-meter increments. The maximum delay setting is 20 meters. This feature allows precise time alignment for audio systems, ensuring that sound reaches the audience in synchronization across multiple speaker setups.
- PRESET / LIMITER LED LIMITER LED: The amplifier includes a built-in limiter circuit designed to prevent amplifier clipping or overdriving the transducers. When the soft clipping circuit is engaged, the LIMITER LED blinks red. Occasional blinking is normal and indicates the limiter is functioning as intended to protect the system. However, if the LED lights continuously, it signals excessive input levels, and the signal level should be reduced to prevent potential damage. PRESET LED: Press the encoder three times to activate the preset selection mode, indicated by the PRESET LED lighting green. Rotate the encoder to select and load the desired preset, allowing quick configuration changes to match the specific audio requirements of the system.
- SYSTEM SET UP DISPLAY It displays the system setting values. In case of RNet active connection a rotating segment will light up.
- RNET LOCAL SETUP/BYPASS. When released the local setup is loaded and RDNet can only monitor the speaker. When switched the RDNet setup is loaded and bypass any speaker local preset.
- ORNET IN/OUT PLUG SECTION The RDNET IN/OUT PLUG SECTION features ether CON connectors for the RDNet protocol. This allows the user to completely control the speaker using the RDNet software.
- POWERCON INPUT SOCKET PowerCON TRUE TOP IP-Rated power connection.
- POWERCON OUTPUT SOCKET Sends the AC power to another speaker. Power link: 100V~ 13A MAX 1300W | 240V~ 16A MAX 3500W.
WARNING: The Powercon connector is used to disconnect the system from the power supply network. It shall be easily accessible after the installation and during the use of the system.
CONNECTIONS
The connectors must be wired according to the standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society).BEFORE CONNECTING THE SPEAKER
On the rear panel you will find all the controls, signal and power inputs. At first verify the voltage label applied to the rear panel (115 Volt or 230 Volt). The label indicates the right voltage. If you read a wrong voltage on the label or if you can’t find the label at all, please call your vendor or authorized RCF SERVICE CENTRE before connecting the speaker. This fast check will avoid any damage. In case of need of changing the voltage please call your vendor or authorized RCF SERVICE CENTRE. This operation requires the replacement of the fuse value and is reserved to an RCF SERVICE CENTRE.
BEFORE TURNING ON THE SPEAKER
You can now connect the power supply cable and the signal cable. Before turning on the speaker make sure the volume control is at the minimum level (even on the mixer output). It is important that the mixer is already ON before turning on the speaker. This will avoid damages to the speaker and noisy “bumps” due to turning on parts on the audio chain. It is a good practice to always turn on the speakers at last and turning them off immediately after their use. You can now turn ON the speaker and adjust the volume control to a proper level.
PROTECTIONS
The speakers are equipped with a complete system of protection circuits. The circuit is acting very gently on audio signal, controlling level and maintaining distortion at acceptable level.
VOLTAGE SETUP (RESERVED TO THE RCF SERVICE CENTRE)
100-240 Volt, 50-60 Hz SETUP:
FUSE VALUE T6.3 A L 250V
WARNING! CAUTION! Loudspeaker connections should be only made by qualified and experienced personnel having the technical know-how or enough specific instructions (to ensure that connections are made correctly) in order to prevent any electrical danger. To prevent any risk of electric shock, do not connect loudspeakers when the amplifier is switched on. Before turning the system on, check all connections and make sure there are no accidental short circuits. The entire sound system shall be designed and installed in compliance with the current local laws and regulations regarding electrical systems.
PRESETS IMPORTANT
OTE: The following presets are valid for KXL 4-A, KXP 4-A and KXW 4-A only
To select a PRESET, push the encoder until the preset led lights up. Rotate the encoder to the desired PRESET, then push the encoder again to confirm the selection.
- Ll – LINEAR Is the totally linear preset. The speaker curve response is perfectly lineac It is ideal when listening outdoor or in low reverberation rooms, at medium distance and at a medium or high sound pressure level.
- L2 – LINEAR HIGH PASS This preset is the same as Ll with a 24 dB/oct. high pass filter at 100 Hz. To be used when the speaker is a part of a bigger system, when is a satellite of a subwoofer system or when the application is speech reproduction.
- L3 – LINEAR LOW LEVEL – PLAYBACK This preset is linear with a gentle +3 dB boost at low frequency. To be used when playing at low level or for playback music.
This preset is linear with a gentle -3 dB shelf at low frequency. It is ideal for a better sound balance in reverberant rooms - L4 – LINEAR INDOOR and for indoor speech reproduction.
- Cl – CLOSE Close listening preset. To be used when the average listener is closer than 3 meter. The preset shows a gentle -3 dB shelf in high frequencies. The sound balance is natural and never aggressive.
- C2 – CLOSE HIGH PASS This preset is the same as Cl with a 24 dB/oct. high pass filter at 100 Hz.
- Fl – FAR Far listening preset. To be used when the average listener distance is more than 10 meter.
The preset shows a +3 dB shelf in high frequencies to compensate the air absorption. The clarity and intelligibility in distance are improved. - F2 – FAR HIGH PASS This is the same as Fl with a 24 dB/oct. high pass filter at 100 Hz.
- Sl, S2 – SIDE COUPLING PRESETS These presets are linear when the speaker are coupled side to side. These presets are properly designed for speakers coupled with a horizontal coupling angle from 700 to 800. The front of the cabinets shall be split and the rear of the cabinets shall be close. The S2 preset features the low frequency high pass filter.
- Ul, U2 – VERTICAL COUPLING PRESETS These presets are linear when the speaker are coupled vertically. The vertical coupling angle can vary from 00 to 100 in 20 steps. Smaller coupling angles offers a narrower directivity but a better sound projection and far distance definition. The U2 preset features the low frequency high pass filter.
To reset the speaker to the original settings :
- Turn off the speaker
- Keep the encoder pressed
- Turn on the speaker (The status yellow led will blink slowly, keep the encoder pressed)
- Wait until the 2 digits display will turn to show the completed reset procedure
- Now release the encoder
The reset procedure is finished
Using the RDNet IN/OUT connection it is possible to load in the speaker memory a dedicated user equalisation. The speaker reset procedure will cancel even this equalisation.
FLOOR CONFIGURATIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The following configurations are valid for KXL 4-A, KXP 4-A and KXW 4-A only
SUSPENDED CONFIGURATIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The following configurations are valid for KXL 4-A, KXP 4-A and KXW 4-A only
SINGLE SUSPENSION ON VERTICAL FLYBAR
This configuration is suggested for KXL 4-A, KXP 4-A and KXW 4-A. The speakers can be suspended with the vertical flybar (FL-B V TT 4) indifferently with the horn in upper or lower position.
UNLOCKING THE SUSPENSION BRACKET
The bracket locks itself in two positions as shown in the pictures: POSITION “1”, for a line array cluster configuration (horizontal) and POSITION “2”, for a sound column cluster configuration (vertical)
PREPARING THE FLYBAR
It is possible to place the tube on the flybar in two different positions as shown in the pictures
WARNING! CAUTION! Always lock the tube on the flybar with the two pins pointed on the picture and secure them with the split pins on the other side.
Depending on the speaker orientation (with the horn on the upper or lower side) place the flybar on the speaker and secure the two linking brackets with the quick lock pins as shown on the following pictures:
LINKING THE FLYBAR TO THE SPEAKER
On one side of the speaker lower the linking bracket and fix it to the speaker with the quick lock pin On the other side of the speaker raise the linking bracket and fix it to the flybar with the quick lock pin.
DOUBLE SUSPENSION ON VERTICAL FLYBAR
This configuration is suggested for KXL 4-A and KXP 4-A; not suggested with KXW 4-A.
Two linked speakers can be suspended on the vertical flybar (FL-B V TT 4). The speakers must be positioned with their horns side by side and linked together with the linking brackets.
Once the first speaker is linked to the flybar, the second speaker can be suspended to the first speaker.
Follow the instructions on PART 7.1 to link the first speaker to the flybar.
On one side of the speaker lower the linking bracket and fix it to the speaker with the quick lock pin
WALL MOUNTING
This configuration is suggested for KXL 4-A, KXP 4-A and KXW 4-A.
The speakers can be mounted on a wall with the vertical bracket V-BR TT 4.
Unscrew the four M8 lateral screws from the speaker, position the bracket and screw it to the speaker with the same M8 screws as shown in the image (place the bracket exactly as shown in the image). Use the flat washers and the serrated washers provided to install the vertical bracket. Place the V-BR bracket on the speaker and secure it using the M10 screws (Use the flat washers and the serrated washers provided).
Do not completely clamp the screws to allow the speaker inclination. Now define the inclination angle and fix the speaker with the M6 screws provided, then clamp the M10 screws completely.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For wall mounting use wall inserts (screw anchor or chemical) with the followings specs:
- min nominal share load 167 N
- min nominal traction load 3047 N
- safety factor equal or higher than 4
PRESETS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The following presets are valid for KXL C4-A, KXP C4-A and KXW C4-A only.
Since KX C4-A speakers are studied to be used in clusters, the usual RCF line array preset management is considered To select a PRESET, push the encoder until the preset led lights up. Rotate the encoder to the desired PRESET, then push the encoder again to confirm the selection.
LOW FREQUENCY PRESET
In the low frequency range the interaction between the sound of single cabinets produces an increase of sound level in low frequencies proportional to the number of loudspeakers in the cluster. This effect unbalances the global equalization of the system: the interaction between the loudspeakers decreases, increasing the frequency (they become more directive) For the control of the displacement described above it is necessary to progressively reduce the low frequencies level in the global equalization reducing the gain if the frequency decreases (low shelf filter). The preset is suggested considering the number of the cabinets in the cluster: the final tuning of the system should be done with measurements and listening sessions, considering the environmental conditions.
HIGH FREQUENCY PRESET
The sound propagation, in particular the high frequencies (1.5 KHz and up), depends essentially on the conditions of the air in which it travels We can generally affirm that air absorbs high frequencies and the amount of absorption depends on temperature, humidity and the distance that sound covers. The decibel decrease is well modelled by a mathematical formula that combines the three parameters (temperature, humidity and distance) giving a profile of the absorption in function of the frequency .
In the case of a loudspeaker cluster the goal is the audience coverage with the best possible uniformity, obtainable only by compensating for the absorption introduced by air? It is easy to understand that every cabinet should be compensated differently from the other array cabinets because the compensation should consider the distance at which the cabinet is aiming The compensation should be translated in terms of decibels that should be progressively added with the increase of high frequencies
There are 4 groups of 4 prestes, making a total of sixteen presets:
- C – CLOSE (C1, C2, C3, C4)
When the listening distance is less than 8 meters. - M – MEDIUM (M1, M2, M3, M4)
When the listening distance goes from 8 to 16 meters. - F – FAR (F1, F2, F3, F4)
When the listening distance goes from 16 to 32 meters. - H – HIGH DISTANCE (H1, H2, H3, H4)
When the listening distance is more than 32 meters.
The number following the letter stands for the number of speakers on the cluster.
