1. General Advice for Using Loudspeakers
Erection of the Loudspeakers
To ensure that the loudspeakers do not topple or fall and cause damage or injury, please alway s
take care to mount the loudspeakers securely.
At all times hang up the speakers on at least 2 of the 10 threads available. The same goes for the
lifting and setting up of the speakers.
Do not hang more than three loudspeakers on top of each other without using special Kling &
Freitag installation fittings.
Please check whethe r the installation connections c omply with a pplicable safe ty guidelines and if
they are of a n adequate size or strength. You w ill find information about t his in our Installa tion
Fittings User Ma nua l.
For both mobile and fixed installations, please use only assembly fittings provided by Kling &
Freitag. Make sure to observe the installation instructions and safety notes shown in the Installation Fittings User Ma nua l.
Assembly fittings and loudspeakers should undergo regular visual checks. At any sign of wear,
fittings should be replaced immedia tely . F urther more , all sc rew ed c onnect ions should be che cke d
regularly.
Do not Install Loudspeakers in any of the Following Places:
-
Where the speakers are permanently subjected to direct sunlight (with the exception of the
‘All Weathe r ’ version, w hich has been specially developed for out door usa ge ).
-
Where the loudspeakers are subjected to dampness (with the exception of the ‘All Weather’
and ‘Outdoor’ versions, provide d t he la t t e r a re not subjected t o dir e ct weather conditions).
-
Where the loudspeakers are subjected to strong vibrations and dust.
Speaker System ELA MK II
Damage Caused by Magnetic Fields of the Loudspeakers
Loudspeakers are surrounded by a permanent magnetic field even when they are not connec ted
up. Therefore, please take care especially during transport and installation that a distance of 1m
away from magnetic data carriers and computers/video monitors is kept.
Protection of the Loudspeakers
For the selec tion of P ower Amplifie rs, it should be made sure tha t the ir dimensions a re suffic ient.
Power Amplifiers which have a too low power output can cause damages to the loudspeakers
through their ove r loa d (clipping).
Power Amplifiers should never be overloaded. Especially for Power Amplifiers with a nominal
power higher than that of the loudspeaker, overload may cause damages to the loudspeakers.
The following Signals may damage the Loudspeakers
-
Permanent high- pit ched signals with high fre que ncy and continuous tone through feedbac k .
-
Permanently distorted signals wit h high power.
-
Noises that occ ur when an appliance is connec ted, disconnected or switc hed on while the
amplifier is on.
Advice on Protection Circuits
The ELA MK II is equipped with protection circuits for the 1“ tweeter as well as the crossover,
which interrupt the signal flow in the case of extreme overload. If the loudspeaker switches off,
decrease the volume and after a few seconds the loudspeaker will automatically switc h itself on
again. If the halogen lamp is blown, you can replace it on the crossover circuit (Position and
specificat ion se e illust r a t ion on pa ge 4).
Avoid Ear Damage
Please do not risk damaging your ears, by staying too close to operating speakers even if you feel
that the volume is low enough.

2. Wiring and Pinning
Speaker System ELA MK II
☞
Wiring:
If you use two or more speakers, please observe the correc t +/- polarity of the loudspeakers at
the amplifiers in or de r t o gua r a nt e e an even-phased a nd t he r e f or e ba la nced sound.
We recommend you use the supplied K ling & Freit ag connec tion cables. In order to av oid loss of
performanc e, wire gauges should be of at le ast 2.5mm
greater diam e t e r . An accept a ble wire gauge can be calculated using the following formula:
Length of Cable Necessa r y (m)__
2 x Loudspeaker Impedance (
Recommended Wire Gauge (mm ²) =

))
ΩΩ
Pinning:
The loudspeaker is equipped with two parallel connected Speakon NL4 jacks (but ce rtain versions
have two X LR jacks). For pinning details please se e t he t a ble be low.
If you are using 4-pin c ables with Speak on plugs, the connect ors 2+/2- can be used to t ransmit
other audio signals.
When using the XLR plugs, please take care to use the XLR-‘Male’ (plug contacts exposed) as
input in order to ensure t ha t t he r e is no physical conta ct with dangerous currents.
For 100V versions, please take the pinning information from the insc riptions on the connection
terminal.
If several loudspeakers are connected, the signal can be linked through from one loudspeaker to
the next. Please make sure that the total impedance of the loudspeakers R (
the minimal impeda nce indicated on the out put st a ge .

Even though the PU textured paint use d by Kling & Freit a g is highly stressable, we recomme nd t o
use slip covers or cases to prev e nt da m a ge s t o t he pa int , for example through mobile use ove r a
longer period of time . If there should be suc h da m a ge s, this can be mended through standard
commercial acrylic paint in y our loudspeakers’ RAL colour.
To exchange the filter foam, please send the front cover with the foam to Kling & Freitag. On
payment of t he e xpenses, you w ill be se nt ba ck your front cover with ne w foam.
