User’s Manual ACCESS SYSTEM
1. General Safety Instructions for Using Speakers
Mounting the speakers
To prevent injury or property damage, this equipment must be securely placed on the floor
or mounted in a different manner according to the mounting instructions on page 40
(Mounting Instructions for Loudspeakers). Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured
with safety straps. Please note that speakers can move as a result of vibrations. To pre-
Warning
vent them from falling from their mounted position, they must be secured properly.
If the weight of the speaker exceeds 20 kg then it is necessary for two people to carry it.
Speakers may only be mounted to walls and ceilings by qualified personnel. The speakers must be hung by using the two designated MAN flying points on the sides of the
speaker. The same applies when lifting and aligning the speakers. Only connections
designed to fit the flying points should be used. If in doubt, please consult the manufacturer.
The bass system ACCESS B10 is not designed for flown applications.
Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning or securing the systems.
When laying the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip.
Never hang more than two speakers under one another without using the designated
Kling & Freitag rigging equipment.
Ensure that all installation connections comply with the applicable safety guidelines and
that the size and strength are sufficient. Further instructions are in our user's manual for
assembly equipment and in the general safety instructions for speakers and accessories.
For mobile and fixed installations, use only mounting accessories from Kling & Freitag, if
possible.
Speakers and mounting accessories must be visually examined at regular intervals. If
there are signs of wear, they must be replaced immediately. Furthermore, screwed connections of supporting parts must be checked routinely.
Warning
Protecting the speakers / avoiding fire hazard
In general, audio signals should not be overdriven. This may be caused by mixing consoles,
equalizers, effect equipment, etc. and should be indicated on this equipment. When a power
amplifier is overloaded at the output (clipping), then the amplifier should activate a clipping
warning signal. Power amplifiers can also be overloaded at the input circuit without the
amplifier signalling the clipping, i.e. when there is not sufficient headroom in the input circuit. We, therefore, recommend turning up the power amplifiers all the way and adjusting
the level before the power amplifier in order to avoid overloading the input circuit. In any
case, the signal must be reduced as soon as it sounds unnaturally distorted.
− To protect the speakers from being destroyed and to avoid fire hazard, they should
only be operated with professional power amplifiers with the following specifications:
−
Amplification according to the instructions in the chapter Recommended Amplifier
Performance for the ACCESS System from page 38 onwards.
− Integrated clipping limiter
− without using a Kling & Freitag controller (not recommended):
Integrated or preceding subsonic filter (approx. 20 Hz, min. 12 dB / octave)
Power amplifiers with power specifications lower than those stated from page
39 onwards must be supplied with a clip limiter for speaker protection, even if
they are operated with a Kling & Freitag system controller.
If you wish to use a speaker with a power amplifier that does not fulfil these specifications,
then the speaker should be controlled using a Kling & Freitag system controller with limiter
function. This is the only way overloading and the risk of fire can be avoided. The results of
such a power amplifier defect cannot be avoided by the controller.
For damage caused by overloading or use with power amplifiers other than those recommended above or with amplifiers with higher output power, Kling & Freitag GmbH
does not assume warranty and excludes liability for possible consequential damage.
KLING & FREITAG GMBH ©1995-2009 Version 6.0, 17.03.2009 Page 5 of 60
User’s Manual ACCESS SYSTEM
The following signals may damage the speakers
− permanent high-pitched signals with high frequency and continuous noise from
feedback.
− permanently distorted signals with high power.
− noises, which occur when the amplifier is on while equipment is being connected,
disconnected or switched on.
Important
Do not install speakers in any of the following places:
− where the speakers are permanently exposed to direct sunlight
− where the speakers are exposed to high moisture or rain
− where the speakers are exposed to strong vibrations and dust.
Damage caused by the speakers' magnetic fields
Speakers are permanently surrounded by a magnetic field, even when they are not operating. Therefore, during transport and placement of the speakers, it is important to
ensure that there is always approx. 1 m between the speakers and magnetic data media
and computer/video monitors.
Preventing hearing damage
To prevent the risk of hearing damage, avoid being too close to operating speakers,
even if the volume level seems to be low enough. In general, volume levels over 90 dB
can cause hearing damage.

3.2 T9 Mid/High System
3.2.1 T9 Applications
The ACCESS T5 is a horn-loaded high-end sound system with a consistent and homogeneous dispersion pattern of 90° x 40°. It is, therefore, extremely well suited for small
to medium coverage requirements with just one system per side such as live concerts in
clubs and sound coverage in discotheques. By using pair clusters with another T9 or
large arrays with the fully compatible T5, it is possible to use the equipment at large
events and mega open-air concerts. The T9 meets all demands at the highest level --from techno to classic. With wideband highest sound pressure up to 139 dB and an
optimal audio quality, a minimum number of units is necessary. This allows for maximum efficiency for set-up and dismantling.

4. The Subwoofers
4.1 Short-Circuit Fuses in the K&F Subwoofer Systems
4.1.1 Risks of using High Performance Power Amplifiers
In recent years, power amplifiers have achieved increasingly higher levels of performance. Some of them can be operated with low-impedance loads. There are, therefore,
strong power amplifiers that can reliably work with impedances below 1 Ω. This development has led to an increased safety risk during defective operations.
When there is a defect, such as a short circuit in the speaker chassis or on the crossover,
it is possible that the power amplifier --- despite existing protective switches --- will not
shut off. Long cable lengths and contact resistance on the plug connections may already
have an electrical resistance of 1 Ω. As a result, the power amplifier cannot ‘‘recognise’’
the operations as being defective and, therefore, delivers unacceptable high currents. In
the worst-case scenario, this may lead to fire damage (hot and charred wiring / connectors as a result of overloaded wires and connectors, etc.).
are lagging behind this development and are thus not up-to-date with this modern
technology.
Normally, the K&F System Controller prevents the speaker from being overloaded. The results of such a defect cannot be avoided by the controller.
The current safety regulations
In order to give consideration to this development, Kling & Freitag now equips its subwoofer systems with short circuit fuses at the signal input. These fuses do not offer
protection for the speaker, but do reduce the risk of consequential damage in the case
of a short circuit.
For systems, which are not serially equipped with a short circuit fuse, Kling & Freitag
offers simple add-on kits so that you can adapt your existing subwoofer systems to the
current power amplifier development.
4.1.2 Identifying the Models with Short-Circuit Fuses
The subwoofer systems, which are serially equipped with short-circuit fuses can be identified as follows; both mentioned stipulations must be fulfilled:

4.1.3 Add-On Kits for Subwoofers without Short-Circuit Fuses
All subwoofer systems, which are not serially equipped with short circuit fuses, can be, if
required, easily and inexpensively upgraded even by yourself.
An instruction manual for this upgrade is delivered with the add-on kit.

8A slow

When necessary, these fuses may only be replaced with the aforementioned original fuse.
4.1.5 Replacement and Positions of the Short-Circuit Fuses
When the fuse is blown, then the chassis is most likely already ruined, as the fuse just
prevents consequential damage resulting from a short circuit of the chassis.
A disassembly of the chassis is, therefore, unavoidable.
The fuse holder of the subwoofers is mounted on the signal wiring behind the input
connector. The ACCESS subwoofers have 2 fuses; one for each of the parallel operating
chassis.
When replacing the fuse, the lid of the terminal with the signal connectors must be
screwed off to reach the fuse holder.
