1. Introduction
Philosophy
The Piccolo audio system from K-array has been designed to satisfy music lovers who are looking for
the highest quality sound from a virtually invisible speaker system.
K-array has over twenty years of research and development experience in acoustics and digital audio
signal processing design and production of professional sound systems for live theatre and concert
performances.
When we put our minds to our first “home system” we were intent on developing a product that would
have the power to fill your living room or study with concert hall sound and crystal clear definition in a
perfectly elegant and discreet format.

Components
The Piccolo audio system is comprised of two mid-high speaker components, a sub woofer with a 6”
driver and a passive radiator, and the amplifier and control module.
There are no extraneous elements that are not essential to producing the highest level of fidelity and
to enhance the listening experience.
A basic kit for wiring, two brackets for wall installation and two stands for table or shelf mounting are
included in the packaging as well, to make the installation quick and easy for any use.
Use
The Piccolo audio system is a perfect example of K-Array’s design focus on user-friendly operation.
One control on the top of the amplifier turns the system on and off and sets the volume.
Signal inputs connect to balanced XLR and standard RCA connectors.
K-Framework PC software interfaces via USB, providing an intuitive 10-band equalizer which allows
the user to optimize the system frequency response to the specific environment and personal taste.
Installation is also made very easy. The two mid-high speakers can be mounted to a wall or to a shelf
using the mounting accessories and the wiring kit included in the package.

4. Safety and handling information
Read all safety information below and operating instructions before using Piccolo to avoid
injury. For a downloadable version of the Piccolo User Manual and the latest version of this
Important Product Information Guide, visit: www.k-array.com
Warning. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, shock or other injury
or damage to Piccolo or other property.
It is important that loudspeaker systems are
used in a safe manner.
Avoiding Hearing Damage.
Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high
volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that
may sound normal but can be damaging to your
hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears
or muffled speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less
time is required before your hearing could be
affected.
Choking Hazards.
Piccolo contains small parts, which may present a
choking hazard to small children. Keep Piccolo and
its accessories away from small children.
Avoiding Water and Wet Locations.
Do not install the speaker in wet or humid locations
without using weather protection. Take care not to
spill any food or liquid on Piccolo. To clean Piccolo,
switch the system off, and unplug all cables and
allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again.
Do not attempt to dry Piccolo with an external heat
source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.
A Piccolo that has been damaged as a result of
exposure to liquids could be not serviceable.
Keeping the Outside of Piccolo Clean.
Handle your Piccolo with care to maintain its
appearance. To clean Piccolo, unplug all cables
and turn off it. Then use a soft, dry or slighty
damp cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners,
aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or
abrasives to clean Piccolo.
Carrying, Handling and Installing Piccolo.
Piccolo contains sensitive components. Do not
drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform,
puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or
insert foreign objects into Piccolo.
Do not operate the speaker for an extended
period of time with sound distortion. This is
an indication of malfunction, which in turn can
generate heat and result in a fire.
To reduce the risk of overheating the amplifier,
avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
Do not install the unit near heat emitting
appliances, such as a room heater or stove.
No naked flame sources such as lighted candles
should be placed near the device.
Operate Piccolo in a place where the
temperature is between -20°C and 50°C (-4°F to
122° F). Avoid dramatic changes in temperature
or humidity when using Piccolo, as condensation
may form on or within Piccolo.
During the use, it is normal for Piccolo to get
warm. The exterior of Piccolo functions as a
cooling surface that transfers heat from inside
the unit to the cooler air outside.

Piccolo
Piccolo should be placed so that its location does
not interfere with its proper cooling.
Repairing or Modifying Piccolo. Never attempt to
disassemble, repair or modify the system yourself.
Disassembling Piccolo may cause damage that is
not covered under the warranty. The unit contains
no user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be
performed by factory trained service personnel.
Voltage requirement. Be sure that the supplied
voltage stays between the specified range.
Piccolo operates safely and without audio
discontinuity if the AC voltage stays within both
85-132 V and 170-264 V , at 50 or 60 Hz. Verify
that your mains connection satisfies the power
ratings of the device. Only connect the power
supply to an appropriate power adapter.
Warning: connecting the system to an AC
power mains with a voltage exceeding 270V
will cause significant damage to the device
and create a serious risk for users!
