You may discard any other power cables, find an appropriate recycling opportunity or keep them if travel to other regions with the K Series product is likely.
AC Mains Disconnection
Turn the AC power switch to the off position. To remove the AC mains cord, grasp the IEC connector’s plastic body, press the yellow latch release but-

Power Switch
Push in on the top of the rocker switch to apply AC mains power to the powered loudspeaker. Push in on the bottom of the rocker switch to turn the
powered loudspeaker off.

red LIMIT indicator and the green STANDBY will extinguish, and the blue POWER indicator LED will illuminate.
Rear LED POWER Indicator
The blue LED POWER indicator on the rear panel will illuminate when the AC Power switch is in the “ON” position, the unit is not in standby, the
AC mains power cord is connected properly, and the AC mains are functioning properly. The rear LED POWER indicator will extinguish when the AC

If the AC mains cordset is serviceable and the AC mains outlet is operating properly, but the loudspeaker fails to operate, the loudspeaker may
require servicing. Contact QSC’s Technical Services department.
System Power Sequencing
Proper power turn on/turn off sequencing can help to prevent unexpected sounds from being produced by the system (pops, clicks,
thumps). These unintended sounds can be unpleasant and take away from the overall professionalism of the presentation. Always
follow the rule that speakers are “last on, first off”.
Power On Sequence: Bring the output level control of the mixer (or other audio source) feeding your speakers to its minimum position. Turn on all
source devices (CD players, mixers, instruments), turn on subwoofer, then turn on the “top-boxes” (K8, K10, K12). The level controls on your mixer
may now be brought up.
Power Off Sequence: Turn off “top boxes,” turn off subwoofer, then turn off all source devices.
If a K Series speaker is being driven from the output of another K Series unit, it should be turned on after the unit feeding it signal, and turned off
before the unit feeding signal.
