HIGH-PASS mode
7.3.1
Description
In HIGH-PASS mode, the KARA is 100 Hz high-pass filtered and is intended to be used as a fill distributed system to
reinforce a main system.
7.3.2
Connecting KARA to LA8
The first two KARA enclosures are connected to the output channel pairs 1/2 and 3/4 of the LA8 controller. Two
additional KARA enclosures can be connected in parallel with each first one. Therefore a single LA8 amplified controller
can drive up to six KARA enclosures (see Figure 8).

[KARA_FI] preset
The [KARA_FI] preset features a nominally flat contour down to 100 Hz dedicated to short and mid throw distributed
system configurations. This preset is designed for a single element.
Activate the LOAD PRESET menu from the LA8 amplified controller front panel and then select the [KARA_FI] preset.
Refer to the LA8 User manual [3.4] for additional instructions. The preset is also accessible using LA NETWORK
MANAGER Software [3.4]. The accessible parameters in HIGH-PASS mode are shown in the following chart:
