Connectors 

XLR connectors (1) 

The K Sub 1801 dp should be connected with a standard symmetrically wired XLR cable. To con-

nect the input signal to further devices, use the male XLR Loop thru connector. To obtain full power 

performance  from  the  system,  the  signal  source  should  be  able  to  provide  a  minimum  of  6  dBu 

distortion free output voltage. 

PowerCon blue (2) 

Power supply input voltage 110-230 VAC. This connector provides the function of an on-off switch. 

After powering on (turn the connector to the right until it locks), the systems starts up and is ready 

for use after approximately 3 seconds. Avoid repeatedly switching the system on and  off, particu-

larly when it is operating. 

PowerCon grey (3) 

110-230  VAC  loop-through  connector.  This  connector  is  to  be  used  when  multiple  active  loud-

speakers  are  to be  provided  with power  from  one  source. Please  observe  carefully  the  maximum 

power capacity of the power source. 

 

The  nominal  power  consumption  of  the  K Sub 1801 dp  under  full 

power is 4.2 A (measured with pink noise, Crest Factor 8). Transient 

peaks  can,  however,  cause  much  higher  momentary  power  drain. 

Observe  carefully  the  nominal  power  consumption  when  connecting 

the  loudspeaker(s)  to  the  power  source,  and  observe  carefully  the 

cut-off current of the safety circuit breakers. We recommend using the 

loudspeaker on power circuits with circuit breakers with C characteris-

tic. 

 

SpeakON black (4) 

This 

connector 

is 

used 

to 

connect 

and 

power 

further 

external 

K Sub 1801. 

ATTENTION

!

 The total impedance of the connected passive systems must be 8 Ohm or more! It 

is highly recommended to not connect more than one passive K Sub 1801 to this output.
