Kosmos® v2

Spectrum Enhancement System

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Kosmos® v2.

The Kosmos® v2 is a second generation subharmonic and stereo image enhancement system. As the successor to the award- winning Kosmos®, it incorporates improved circuitry and adds features to provide even more functionality for live sound and recording applications. Like the original Kosmos®, it can provide planet rattling bass as its subharmonic processor watches the source material, analyzes the bass, then generates additional phase-synced low frequencies an octave below it. Borrowing from the Kosmos® Pro, the damping (tracking) has two preset ranges.

When using the Kosmos® v2, it is recommended that other equalization (especially output equalization) be set flat. Adjust the Kosmos® v2 to optimize the tone quality, then make any fine adjustments with the other gear. You may find that little needs to be tweaked, since the Kosmos® v2 corrects deficiencies in the speaker system. Bass boost applied before the Kosmos® v2 may defeat what you are trying to accomplish by causing the sound to be muddy or distorted.

FEATURES:

•Creates intelligent, phase-synced subharmonics that don’t overpower existing material

•Dynamic source tracking yields tight, clean bass sounds

•Subharmonic activity indicator shows processing status

•A specially tuned low frequency circuit, compliments the subharmonics and can be used to fatten the low end

•High frequency image enhancement provides atmosphere through improved stereo separation and clarity

•A rear panel stereo/mono switch allows use as a channel insert or in a monophonic system

•Internal 90 Hz crossover signal can be removed from the subwoofer output when used as a side-chain effect

•Master output level controls left, right, and subwoofer output levels simultaneously

•All inputs & outputs are balanced XLR or 1/4" TRS jacks

•Signal and Peak lamps monitor signal activity and warn of overload

•Independent subwoofer output level control

Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment

Connecting your Kosmos® II in your signal chain:

Direct: Insert Kosmos® v2 between the output of the mixer and the input of the power amp

As An Effect: Create an effects loop between your mixer and Kosmos® v2 by connecting an Aux send from your mixer into the Kosmos® v2, and return the signal to your mixer through an aux return or channel strip input. See MONO (15) on page 9.
