  • Sortida de barreja: XLR output for sending a mixed signal of Input A and Input B.
  • ULTRANET In / Thru: RJ45 connectors for ULTRANET digital audio networking, allowing connection to compatible devices for multi-channel audio distribution.
  • Port USB: Type B USB connector for firmware updates and remote control via computer software.
  • Entrada de CA: PowerCon-compatible input for connecting the main power cable.
  • AC Link Output: PowerCon-compatible output for daisy-chaining power to other iQ series loudspeakers.
  • Interruptor d'alimentació: Toggles the unit's power on and off.

5. Configuració i funcionament

5.1 Col·locació física

The iQ8 can be used in various configurations:

  • Muntatge al pal: The loudspeaker features a dual-angle pole mount socket on the bottom, allowing for vertical or downward-tilted placement on a standard speaker pole.
  • Monitor de terra: The cabinet design allows for use as a floor monitor.
  • Suspensió: Integrated M10 rigging points are provided for permanent installation using appropriate hardware (sold separately).

5.2 Connexió d'alimentació

Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Input on the rear panel and then to a suitable mains power outlet. For multiple iQ series loudspeakers, use the AC Link Output to daisy-chain power, ensuring the total current draw does not exceed the maximum rating of the power source.

5.3 Connexions d'àudio

Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer, instrument) to Input A or Input B using XLR or 1/4" TRS cables. Use the Output A/B or Mix Output to send signals to additional speakers or recording devices.

5.4 Initial Power-Up and DSP Control

After making all connections, switch on the power. The LCD display will illuminate, and the unit will initialize. Use the rotary push encoder and the PROCESS, SETUP, EXIT, and ENTER buttons to navigate the DSP menu. The Klark Teknik Digital Signal Processing provides total system control, including:

  • Modelatge de parlants: Access accurate models of industry-standard speakers to emulate their sonic characteristics.
  • SCC (Spatial Contour Control): Adjust frequency response to compensate for the physical placement of the speaker (e.g., wall-mounted, corner, pole-mounted).
  • EQ, Dynamics, and Delay: Fine-tune audio parameters for optimal sound in any environment.

5.5 ULTRANET Networking

The ULTRANET ports allow for digital audio signal distribution and remote control over a single CAT5 cable. Connect the ULTRANET output of a compatible device (e.g., digital mixer, ULTRANET distributor) to the iQ8's ULTRANET In port. Use the ULTRANET Thru port to daisy-chain to other ULTRANET-enabled devices.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja

Clean the exterior of the iQ8 loudspeaker with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the finish. Ensure no liquids enter the cabinet or control panel.

6.2 Emmagatzematge

When not in use for extended periods, store the loudspeaker in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective cover.

7. Solució De Problemes

  • Sense energia: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the loudspeaker and a working power outlet. Check the power switch position.
  • Sense so: Verify that audio cables are correctly connected to inputs and outputs. Check input levels on the iQ8 and the source device. Ensure the master volume is not muted or set too low.
  • So distorsionat: Reduce input levels to prevent clipping. Check cable integrity. Ensure the speaker is not overdriven.
  • DSP Display Not Responding: Try cycling the power. If the issue persists, contact support.
  • ULTRANET Connection Issues: Verify CAT5 cable connections and ensure all ULTRANET devices are compatible and properly configured.
