Tip
This symbol indicates notes that help you to handle the described products easier.
All specifications in this manual are based on information available at the time of publishing for the
features and safety guidelines of the described products.
Technical specifications, measurements, weights and properties are not guaranteed.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make product alterations within legal provisions as well as changes
to improve product quality.
The speakers may only be mounted to wall and ceilings by qualified personnel.
The technicians responsible for assembling the speakers on site are responsible for the safe setup and
use of the speakers and guarantee this.
Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning or securing the systems.
Before carrying through ceiling and wall installations, it is essential to consider the load capacity of walls,
ceilings and panelling as well as the stability and type of the construction. If there is wall panelling, for
example, it is then necessary to examine the solidity of the wall and use the appropriate wall plugs.
Make sure to comply with the stipulated tightening torques.
If not otherwise stated in this manual, only original KLING & FREITAG parts may be used for mounting the
speakers. The use of other parts - in particular parts by other manufacturers - is not permitted in this case.
Ensure that all installation connections comply with the applicable safety guidelines and that the size
and strength are sufficient.
Ensure that all connections are secured against coming loose and that only authorized, statically tested
and correctly sized supports, mounting equipment, wire ropes and chains are used.
As a basic principle, you must visually inspect all components of the speaker before every use. If there are
signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, then you must replace the parts immediately. The visual inspection
also includes checking the screwed connections on supporting elements.
The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given safety requirements and legal regulations.
Fixed�installations�(stationary):
•For fixed installations without safety, always secure the retainer nut and the M10 thread of the
thread reducer to prevent loosening. ou can do so either by using the provided rubber washer or
– with longer threads – glue for securing screws.
Mobile�installations�(non-stationary):
•Always secure the speaker with a second independent safety device to prevent falling.
•To do so, use an approved safety rope with a 5 mm quick link on the safety eyebolt of the
speaker enclosure. You can get an appropriate quick link available as an accessory from Kling &
Freitag.
