2.INTRODUCTION

The KF730 Line Array represents EAW’s latest technology for arrayable loudspeakers. The KF730 is a small format line array system for venues with listener distances up to about 200 ft / 65 m. The KF730 Series is designed to provide the highest output possible from a compact line array format. The Series includes the 3-way, bi-amplified KF730 full-range and the complementary dual 12 in SB730 subwoofer.

This manual provides information about the design, configuration, and operation of KF730 Line Arrays. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the KF730 Wizard Windows®-based software. Please thoroughly familiarize yourself with this manual. The more you learn and understand the KF730 Line Array the easier you will find it to use. This is not so much because of any inherent complexities, but because it is actually easier to use than most, if not all, array systems.

3.2SHIPPING DAMAGE

After unpacking, if the loudspeaker is found to have shipping damage, save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection, notify the carrier immediately, and file a shipping damage claim.

Although EAW will help in any way possible, it is always the responsibility of the receiving party to file any shipping damage claim. The carrier will help prepare and file this claim.

3.3RETURNING PRODUCTS TO EAW

If the loudspeaker must be returned to EAW, contact the EAW Service Department for a Return Authorization (See Chapter 7). Use the original shipping carton and packing materials. If the shipping carton is damaged, contact EAW for a new carton, for which there will be a small charge. EAW will not be responsible for damage caused by inadequate packing.
