1. INTRODUCTION
The K-FLY2 system is an accessory needed to fly a cluster of K-array compatible speaker models.
In order to link one speaker to another, the K-J O IN T2 accessory is also needed (not included). One
K-JOINT2 is needed per speaker.
K-FLY2 MAXIMUM RUNNING LOAD = 100 kg
The structure’s safety factor is equal to 7 on the breaking load
1.1 SAFET Y INFORMATION
• Read these instructions.
• Keep this instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. K-array does not assume any
responsibility for damages caused by the use of material that does conform to the specific requirements
listed in this manual.
• Choking Hazards. This device contains small parts, which may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep the device and its accessories away from small children.
• Do not make repairs yourself. Never attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the system yourself.
Disassembling the unit may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. The device contains
no user serviceable parts. Repairs should only be performed by factory trained service personnel.
• Operating environment. The system can be used both outdoors and indoors and can resist saline
environments. It is forbidden to use it in explosive environments.
• Setup. Set up your device on a stable, horizontal surface. When combined or mechanically connected
with other products, always verify the stability of the resulting system. Install the unit only in a
location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and that is far away from interference
with the stability of the system. Ensure the wind does not interfere with the system’s stability by
taking extra securities such as chains, weights, ropes or any other certified anchoring systems.
Otherwise a unit could fall, causing property damage, personal injury or even death. The system
should only be suspended by qualified personnel following safe rigging practices. Securing fixtures
to the building structure are vital. To clarify any doubts you may have, seek help from architects,
structural engineers or other specialists.
• Lifting and storage. The whole system must be transported and stored already dismantled. Assembly
must be done onsite.
• Shutdown. Once the system is no longer being operated it must not be left abandoned. All iron made
material must be disposed of by an authorized scrap yard.

1.3 CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
The regulation of the joints and the choice of the hanging point will generate different array profiles to
meet the different needs of the acoustic sound required for each venue.
Below are some possible configurations.
The array profile also determines the safety factor of the whole
frame.

2. THE HORIZONTAL FLY BEAM
The horizontal beam (A) consists of a perforated bar (A1) to which all devices are fastened and
flown from the tilt joint (A2) to which the joint plates are fastened.
The two components are linked together with two M8x40 stainless steel quick release piston pins
(A3).

3. THE JOINT PLATE
The K-JOINT2 joint plate (B) is a device that joins several speakers and adjusts the tilting angles. It also
connects the entire cluster to the fly bar.
The group is made up of two identical aluminum joints (B1) linked by a stainless steel, quick-release
M8x40 piston pin (B3). The piston pin features a security block (B4) that must be used only in stacked
applications. Do not use it when flying the speakers as it could accidently fall, causing injuries.
Two additional M5x30 stainless steel quick release piston pins (B5) join the central bracket (B2) to the
aluminum joints (B1). Eight cylindrical Allen key screws M5x14 (provided) are needed to fasten the joint
plates to the loudspeaker enclosures.

4. ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
1. First, connect the two aluminum joints (B1) of each K-JOINT2 to each loudspeaker frame with the
provided screws.
• The screws are included; in case of displacement
only use stainless steel A2 CLASS 70 screws.
• The tightening of the screws should be done
with a screw gun or by hand using a dedicated
hex key without using any extensions.

NO
2. The horizontal fly beam must be linked to a lifting device with a lifting chain (C1 - NOT SUPPLIED),
a hook with security fastening (C2 - NOT SUPPLIED) and an Omega shackle (C3 - SUPPLIED).

3. Position the horizontal fly beam (A1) at an appropriate distance from the floor. Fasten the first speaker
to the beam (A1) with a M8x40 piston pin (B3). Lift the beam in order to position the speaker vertically
and then insert the central bracket (B2) and fasten it with the supplied M5x30 piston pins (B5).
• Check that the security sphere of the
piston pin is visible at the opposite
end and cannot fall out.
• The pin must only be released when
the button has been pushed.
4. Repeat Step 3 to connect other speakers.

4.1 ADJUSTING THE ANGLES
Varying the length of the central bracket allows the user to adjust the angle between the speakers. Each
joint allows an adjustment of ±10°.
To adjust the length of the central bracket, unfasten the screw (D1) and rotate the ring (D2) until you
reach the desired angle between the speakers then refasten the screw (D1).
