KALI AUDIO WS-6.2 Studio Subwoofer User Manual

Sarrera

The KALI AUDIO WS-6.2 is a studio subwoofer featuring two 6.5-inch high-excursion woofers. It is engineered for powerful audio performance within a compact footprint, occupying less than half the space of comparable subwoofers. The WS-6.2 delivers a maximum SPL of 120 dB and extends down to a 27 Hz lower frequency response. Its horizontally opposed woofers are designed to minimize vibration. A built-in 80 Hz high-pass output facilitates seamless integration with popular studio monitors, including Kali’s LP- and IN-Series. A dedicated footswitch jack allows users to bypass both the subwoofer and its crossover, enabling full-range monitoring. The subwoofer supports LFE mode and external crossover configurations, and its polarity can be reversed as needed.

Konfigurazioa

1. Kokapen gomendioak

• Gelaren akustika: Subwoofer placement significantly impacts sound quality. Experiment with different positions in your room.
• Izkinako Plazamendua: Placing the subwoofer in a corner can reinforce bass, but may also lead to muddiness.
• Mid-Wall Placement: Often provides a more balanced bass response.
• Entzuteko posizioa: The "subwoofer crawl" method involves placing the subwoofer at your listening position, then crawling around the room to find where the bass sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot.
• Horizontally Opposed Woofers: The WS-6.2's design minimizes vibration, allowing for more flexible placement without concern for cabinet resonance.

2. Zure sistemara konektatzea

The WS-6.2 can be integrated into various studio setups. The most common method involves connecting your audio interface or mixer to the subwoofer, and then connecting the subwoofer to your main studio monitors.

1. Connect the outputs of your audio interface or mixer to the XLR, TRS, or RCA Inputs on the WS-6.2. Use balanced cables (XLR or TRS) for optimal signal integrity.
2. Konektatu XLR irteerak of the WS-6.2 to the inputs of your main studio monitors. The signal sent to your monitors will be high-passed at 80 Hz when this setting is active on the subwoofer.
3. If using a footswitch (sold separately), connect it to the Oin-etengailua Jack.

3. Energia-konexioa

• Ensure the subwoofer's Pizteko etengailua OFF posizioan dago.
• Konektatu barneko elikatze-kablea AC korronte hartunea on the rear panel of the subwoofer.
• Entxufatu kablearen beste muturra korronte alternoko entxufe egoki batera.

Funtzionamendu-argibideak

1. Piztu/Itzaltzea

• To power on, flip the Pizteko etengailua to the ON position. The LED indicator on the front panel will illuminate.
• To power off, flip the Pizteko etengailua OFF posiziora.
