Warning
Mounting the speakers
If the weight of the speaker exceeds 25 kg then it is necessary for two people to carry it.
To prevent injury, this equipment must be securely placed on the floor or secured to the
wall according to the mounting instructions. Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured with securing straps. Please note that speakers can move as a result of vibrations.
To prevent them from falling from their mounted position, they must be secured
properly.
Speakers may only be suspended by qualified personnel.
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.
The speakers must be hung by using at least two of the designated flying points. The
same applies when lifting and aligning the speakers.
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 assembly
equipment.
For mobile and fixed installations, use only rigging equipment from KLING & FREITAG.
Make sure to observe the included safety and mounting instructions for loudspeakers
and accessories.
Unwanted interference
RF interference on the power cord or on the line signal cables may lead to unwanted
sound interference.
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.
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 SP speaker is connected while equipment is being
connected, disconnected or switched on.
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.
‘SP’ denotes the ‘Self Powered’ product line in the K&F range of loudspeakers. Based
on selected K&F speaker systems, the ‘SP’ models are equipped with state-of-the-art
integrated driver circuits and Class D power amplifier technology. The extremely
lightweight system electronics replace ponderous racks, power amplifiers, controllers,
and speaker cables.
Aside from the integrated power amplifier and input modules with controller functions, the full-range systems possess a passive crossover so that the advantageous
features provided by the K&F passive technology (all-pass filter, protection circuits)
remain usable. The frequency separation for the subwoofers is controlled by an active
110 Hz low-pass filter.
Integrated phase optimisation allows for all systems in the ‘SP Series’ to be combinable with one another. With this, the ‘SP’ speakers, when the filter section is switched
off, have a completely comparable sound to the corresponding versions without integrated power amplifier technology. Operations using a K&F System Controller CD 44,
CD 24 (discontinued) and C2 (discontinued) are also possible, which is appropriate for
many applications.
Operating the ‘SP Series’ is incredibly easy: The full-range systems reproduce the complete frequency spectrum. If necessary, the ‘SP’ subwoofers in parallel operations can
provide an additional bass boost.
The Input Module
− Line signal input
− Limiter section (feed-forward RMS-limiter and peak limiter in feed-back design).
− High pass filter, 45 Hz tops, and 32 Hz subwoofers
− Low pass filter 110 Hz (only subwoofer systems)
− System specific, switchable frequency deemphasis (‘FILTERS ON/ OFF’) controllable
by a covered switch on the connecting terminal
− Phase correction
− Level adjustment (countersunk level control on the connecting terminal)
The Amplifier Module
− 1 x, or 2 x 1 kW Class D state-of-the-art power amplifier
− Minimal dimensions (speaker dimensions of the models without the ‘SP’ module are
retained)
− Low weight (weight increase of 2.5 / 4 kg as compared to systems without the ‘SP’
module; and with the Line 212 --- SP, the weight even stays identical)
− High efficiency enables convection cooling, because of which bothersome fans are
unnecessary
− High fidelity (even in high frequency range) and a large power bandwidth resulting
from impedance optimisation
− Operations without external controller:
with activated filters (FILTERS ‘ON’), all K&F models in the ‘SP Series’ are combinable with one another by simply linking the signal from one speaker to the next.
− With optional K&F System Controller*:
via a K&F System Controller CD 44, CD 24 (discontinued) or C2 (discontinued,
with system plug-in card) or an Audio DSP*
− if used with BSS Soundweb, FDS 366, 336, 334, and XTA DP 226, 224, K&F sys-
tem parameters are available upon request
* The operation of the K&F ‘SP’ models with K&F System Controller or Audio DSP is
recommended for uses in which special filter presets are advisable, i.e. in combination
with passive systems of the ‘CA Series’, in cluster operations (top low cut), when bass
and high boost are necessary, adjustment to the room acoustics (EQ), etc.
The following K&F ‘SP’ speakers are available:
Full-range systems: CA 1001 - SP,
CA 1201 - SP,
CA1215-6 - SP, CA 1215-9 - SP
CA 1515-6 - SP, CA 1515-9 - SP
LINE 212-6 - SP, LINE 212-9 --- SP
Electronically balanced input and output connectors. Use the XLR female connector
(marked ‘IN’) as input. The parallel-wired XLR male connector (‘OUT’) is for connection to further ‘SP’ loudspeakers.
2) GROUND LIFT
When the ‘Ground Lift’ switch is set to LIFT, pin 1 of the LINE IN connector (ground)
is not connected to the chassis ground of the integrated amplifier module. The
ground connection between LINE IN (XLR male) and LINE OUT (XLR female) is maintained. The use of the ‘Ground Lift’ switch is sometimes necessary in dealing with
hum problems (see chapter 10.1 )

3) PROTECTIVE COVER
--- danger to life!
danger to life!
------
danger to life!danger to life!
The protective cover prevents unwanted adjustment of the gain control and filter
ON / OFF switch. The cover has a snap-in lock. In order to reach the controls beneath, turn the cover sharply down in the direction of the arrow.
a) The gain control can be used to adjust the input level of the amplifier module
by ± 6dB. It serves to balance the volume levels of the various systems. In order to avoid overloading the input circuit or mixer’s output circuit, it should
normally be set in the case of K&F full-range systems at 0 dB (centre notch
setting).
b) When operating with K&F System Controller, set the input level of the ampli-
fier module on the controller (Input Gain). The gain control on the SP speaker
should be set at 0 dB (centre notch setting). One exception to this rule is a
cluster arrangement, in which the inner speakers should be set at a lower level than the outer ones. In this case, the level of the gain control on the inner
SP speakers can be adjusted downwards accordingly.
When operating with additional bass systems it is very important that the respective volume levels between the top speakers and the bass systems are correctly
balanced. To this end, the sound engineer should check the volume levels during
the set-up and adjust them accordingly. When setting up a system without a K&F
System Controller this adjustment should be carried out using the gain control of
the SP subwoofer; in the case of a system with K&F System Controller, set the
gain on the controller.
Normally we recommend the following settings*

* These details may vary due to different room geometries. The position of a bass
speaker is also crucial for its actual sound level. A bass speaker, which is on the
floor, can be a few decibels louder than a flown bass system because of the floor
reflections. Because of this, a sound engineer must always fine-tune the system using the corresponding level controls.
5) FILTERS ON / OFF (High Pass / Low Pass / Equalizer)
This switch turns the filter in the SP module on (‘ON’), or off (‘OFF’).
a) The switch should always be in the ‘ON’ position when the speakers are being
driven without K&F System Controller.
b) The switch should always be in the ‘OFF’ position when the speakers are being
driven with K&F System Controller.
The filters consist of:
− high-pass: protects the speakers against mechanical stress due to frequen-
cies outside the speaker's frequency range (protection against subsonic
frequencies)
− EQ: filter for basic equalization, optimising the frequency response of the
speaker systems.
Furthermore, the SP filter module has a phase alignment, which prevents loss
of certain frequencies due to phase shift between mid-high and bass systems.
Thus the combination of all available K&F mid-high SP systems with all K&F
bass SP systems is possible, and 100% phase compatibility with all K&F speakers operating in conjunction with a K&F System Controller in the ‘2-way active’
mode is guaranteed.
6) LED POWER ON (GREEN) and LIMIT / PROTECT (RED)
The LED is dual-purpose:
a) When the LED is green, the speaker is connected to the supply voltage and
ready for operation
b) The LED will turn red if…
…the input signal is so high that the internal limiters reduce its level.
The limiters consist of a peak limiter, which limits the peaks of the signal,
and an RMS / thermal limiter, which continuously regulates excessive levels.
During normal operation, the red light may occasionally illuminate briefly
when the barely audible limiter cuts in to limit peak levels. It does indicate
that the level peaks are limited by the limiter circuit. The peak performance
of the speaker has then been reached.
Should the red light come on more frequently or remain illuminated, the
output level of the mixer should be reduced. When speakers with and
without SP module are in operation simultaneously, the gain control on the
SP speaker can be turned down, provided the level is sufficient for the other power amplifiers. The limiter protects the speaker from damage due to
excessive levels.
…the protection circuitry of the integrated power amplifier cuts in and as a
result, no further signal reaches the speaker (Protect Mode).
The protection circuitry switches off the integrated power amplifier,…
− …if the temperature of the amplifier module is too high. As soon as
the temperature falls below the critical value, the amplifier module is
switched on again automatically. Excessive temperatures can be
caused for example by inadequate ventilation of the heat sink. Make
sure that the heat sinks are not covered or positioned directly against a
wall.
− …if the output impedance is too low or in the case of a short circuit,
caused for example by a defective chassis or a faulty component on
the crossover.
− …if the amplifier has an internal fault. The SP amplifier module checks
that all is functioning correctly during operation. As soon as a fault becomes apparent, the module switches into protect mode. If only one
module has a fault, the input signal is attenuated by 70 dB, to prevent
damage to the other module.

We recommend using the BGV C1 certified and type tested Click & Fly Rigging
System for mounting the Line 212 systems (see the ‘Click & Fly for Line 212 /
SW215E' user's manual).
Please follow the following instructions for flown operations without the Click
& Fly Rigging System:
Wrong:
− The upper rigging points of the top speaker
must carry the full load. Consequently, the
permissible max. load of the top points is exceeded.
− The speakers are not secured by the additional
safeties.
Right:
− The load of the individual speakers is threaded
through the bent continuous bracket. The load
is, therefore, held by the bracket and the
speakers’ flying points consequently only have
to carry the load of the corresponding speaker.
− The speakers are connected to one another on
the rear. The suspension point is located on the
connection of the two lower speakers. As a result, the load is distributed to both speakers.

8. Coverage Pattern of the Line 212 --- SP Systems
The Line 212 can be operated in a vertical or horizontal position. The coverage pattern
of the speaker can be adapted to special needs by a 90° rotatable horn.
The following graphics demonstrate how to recognize how the built-in horn emits in a
standing speaker: To determine the coverage pattern of the high frequency horn,
shine a flashlight through the front covering at the level of the horn. You will find a
silver stripe that determines the position and coverage angles of the horn.

8.1 Changing the Coverage Pattern
The front grille of the Line 212 - SP is divided into two sections (except the version ‘Outdoor Installation’). Changing the coverage angle is possible by only removing the upper
section of the grille. To turn the horn, follow these steps:
1) Disconnect the power plug!
2) Make sure that no objects fall into the enclosure!
3) Remove the four grille mounting screws from the top on the sides of the speakers
with a 3 mm Allen key and remove the grille from the speaker enclosure. It may be
necessary to use a screwdriver in the middle of the top grille edge to pry up the
grille. There is a groove in the grille in this position (under the locking profile) just
for this purpose.
4) Remove the six screws from the high frequency horn (also using a 3 mm allen key).
Loosen the high frequency horn by using both hands, palms to the outside, to
grasp into the horn and lift the horn with even pressure from the palms of your
hands towards the outside. Never use a screwdriver or similar objects to reach behind the edge of the horn, as this could damage it.
5) Rotate the horn 90° and screw the horn on tightly again (do not force it!).
6) Screw the grille on tightly.
If the coverage angle needs to be changed often, make sure that the horn is not always
rotated in the same direction, as the connecting cable may cause the contacts of the
driver to become loose. Open wires may hit other live parts: Danger of electrical
Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the
speakers securely so that they do not fall. Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured
with securing straps. When laying the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can
trip.
The stability of stacked systems (also valid for the use of stands and distance rods!) is
Warning
contingent upon the following stability requirement. These conditions must, therefore,
be guaranteed by the user:
Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If this requirement is not fulfilled, then it is necessary to take steps to
achieve compliance. Possible measures include strapping it to an appropriate
base structure or fastening it using safety straps.
We recommend using the optionally available transport covers with castors when transporting and positioning the system. These covers have handles, which considerably
simplify the carrying and stacking of the Line 212 systems. We therefore recommend
removing the covers after the systems have been positioned. Always loosen the lower
catch first so that the cover does not fall over.
9.1 Proper Arrangement of the Loudspeakers
Be aware of the fact that the logical targeted alignment of this high quality speaker
system can lead to a significant qualitative increase in the acoustic result. It is not possible to make generalities about the alignment of specific systems because the room has
a substantial influence on the signal and the audible result.
As a rule, the mid- and high-transducers of loudspeakers should be mounted above the
audience's face value, so that the sound distribution cannot be shadowed.
In many cases, it is advisable to mount a loudspeaker higher, so that the sound will be
distributed throughout the room more evenly. Low standing systems result in a greater
difference in volume between front and back seats than higher standing systems.
Please note that this is only a general guideline and the best possible result may vary
from room to room.
To simulate the correct alignment of the speakers beforehand, there are various programs such as ‘Ease’ or ‘Ulysses’. ‘‘The Kling & Freitag speaker system data is available
for download on our website www.kling-freitag.de.
The following graphics will assist in making a rough estimate as to the distance range of
speaker systems. The graphics only take into consideration the sum of the direct sound
and not the influence of the room. Because of this there can, in some cases, be noticeable deviation.
If the loudspeakers are operated through an optional K&F System Controller, we recommend turning on the 'Top Low Cut' filter for clustered operation. Thus the frequency response for this application can be optimised (see user’s manual of the controller).
If the Line 212 Systems are operated in a cluster without a K&F System Controller
(speakers are set up directly next to one another), then lower the 'EQ LOW CUT' frequency as described below!

1. If several Line 212-6 with a horn coverage pattern of 65°h x 50°v are arranged on
one side (cluster / array), it is recommended for the Line 212-6 to have a horizontal
array angle of 38.5° to one another (see fig. 2).
2. In a cluster comprised of a combination of the Line 212-6 with Line 212-9, we
recommend an array angle of 45° (see fig. 3).
3. With a rotated horn (Line 212-6 standing: 50°h x 65°v / Line 212-9 standing: 50°h
x 90°v), an array angle of 30° is recommended for both versions (see fig. 1).
Because increased interference effects occur when several 90° systems are arranged
next to one another, the clustering of several Line 212- 9 is only conditionally recommendable.

Other combinations of Line 212 Systems are not recommended as they can cause unwanted interferences.
Before connecting your SP system, be sure to switch off all connected appliances and
turn down all level controls.
− We recommend the use of high-quality cables provided by KLING & FREITAG.
− For connections to the line signal inputs, please use 2-pin shielded microphone cable
with high-quality connectors.
− Avoid ground loops (see chapter 10.1 )
− Make sure that the pin assignment of the line level connectors is correct. (2 +/ 3 - / 1 ┴).
10.1 Avoiding Ground Loops
10.1.1 What is a Ground Loop?
Every component of a P.A. or Hi-Fi System has its own internal 0V reference (ground). This
point is often connected to the protective earth connector (PE / Ground). If two or more
units are connected to one another with a line level audio cable, there may be a ground
connection through the ground of the power supply cable (yellow-green) as well as
through the shielding of the audio cable. The voltage difference between these two
ground points causes audible interference to come from the speaker.
Warning
10.1.2 Avoiding Ground Loops
If there is a loud humming or buzzing after the ‘SP’ System has been connected, then
set the ‘Ground Lift’ switches on the rear of the ‘SP’ speakers to the ‘Lift’ position (chapter: 3 / section 2)
If the noise is still audible, check if
1. the noise is caused by a ground loop before the speakers (e.g. mixing console,
effects or equalizers).
2. the system or parts of the system are connected to an ‘unclean’ power supply -
meaning one which is also running large motors or lighting systems. An ‘unclean’ supply voltage, electrostatic and electromagnetic fields can cause interference
Please observe the following basic rules:
− Never !!! try to avoid a ground loop by disconnecting or taping the ground
contact at the connector! Extremely dangerous!
− If possible, only use high-quality audio appliances with balanced signal outputs and
power cables with PE connectors.
− Use high-quality cables with good shielding.
− The point of ground for all connected components should merge at one central
point. The power connections should lead out in a radial manner from one point
and not be linked from one unit to the next.
− When installing appliances that create strong electrostatic or electromagnetic fields
(large transformers, switch-mode power supplies), maintain some distance from
other audio appliances. In extreme cases, the only solution is to create a completely
independent ‘audio ground’; in other cases, it is sufficient to connect a filter in front
of the audio equipment.
11.1 Operating the Systems without K&F System Controller
The full-range system can be used alone or in conjunction with an SP subwoofer. The
subwoofer has an integrated filter for use in this mode, which limits the bandwidth.
The full-range system is protected against low frequency (subsonic) signals by a highpass filter and when used with bass speakers it is phase aligned with the subwoofers by
means of alignment filters.
11.1.1 Full-Range Mode
This mode of operation is ideal for speech and music applications without the need for
a high bass content. Should more bass be needed, the bass level can be increased between 50 and 80 Hz at the mixing console.

If you need a high-boost for covering larger distances (compensation of high frequency
attenuation), then increase the ‘EQ HIGH BOOST’ frequency as described below!
If the mid-high systems are operated in a cluster (speakers are set up directly next to one
another), then lower the ‘EQ LOW CUT’ frequency as described below!
You can link the input signal (for example from the mixer) from one loudspeaker to
another. It makes no difference whether the input signal reaches the bass speaker first
and is then transmitted to the mid-high speaker or the other way around.

11.2 Operating the Systems with K&F System Controller
For optimal performance with an extended functional range we recommend using a
K&F system controller. Instructions for use, connecting diagrams and detailed descriptions of the latest controller models ‘CD 24’ and ‘CD 44’ you can find in the corresponding user’s manuals.
11.3 Maximum Configuration
It is possible to use a large number of SP speakers in parallel simultaneously, however,
this number is limited according to the permitted minimum load impedance of the signal source (e.g. mixer, equalizer, etc.).
The total input impedance of all SP speakers must be larger than the permitted minimum load impedance of the signal source. If no manufacturer’s recommendations can
be found, take the output impedance of the signal source. In this case, we recommend
a total input impedance at least 10 times higher than the stated output impedance of
Important
the signal source.
(The output impedance of your signal source can normally be found under ‘Technical
Specifications’ in the manufacturer’s instruction manual).

speakers SP of number drecommende maximum n
The maximum number of SP speakers can be calculated with this formula:
− Switch off all equipment and make sure that the SP speakers are not connected to a
power source.
− Connect your SP systems in accordance with the preceding connection diagrams.
Use only mains cables, which comply with your national safety regulations.
− Upon completing the wiring, ensure that the connected speakers are working in phase. To
do so, use i.e. a phase checker. A phase error can also be recognized when the connected
channels are used simultaneously. During simultaneous use the bass frequencies become
notably quieter or the mid-frequencies such as voices cannot be located.
Warning
− Switch on first the peripheral units (mixer, effects, etc.), then, if used, the K&F System
Controller and connect lastly the SP loudspeakers. Always use the before mentioned
switching order. Otherwise switching noises may damage the system.
− If there is interference, turn off all appliances in the reverse order and check all cable
connections. Next, turn up all other peripheral units, and check these for interference.
− Your system should now be ready for operation.
− You can now turn up the level on the mixer.
− If you are using additional bass systems, you can now balance the respective volume
levels of the top speakers and bass systems. A fine adjustment of the system without
K&F System Controller can be obtained using the gain control on the SP loudspeakers
(not on the mixing console!).
− When switching off the system first disconnect the ‘SP’ loudspeakers. Then you can switch
off the remaining units.
13. Touching Up Damage to Paint / Changing the Front Foam
Although the PU structured paint used by KLING & FREITAG is extremely resistant, we
recommend using protective covers or cases to help avoid damaging the paint during
i.e. continuous mobile use. If paint damage occurs despite these precautions, it can be
touched up by using commercial acrylic paint in the appropriate RAL colour of the
speaker. To replace the filter foam, send the front grille incl. foam to KLING & FREITAG
GmbH. Upon payment for expenses, the grille with the new covering will be returned.

It is not allowed to dispose of used electrical equipment as domestic waste.
But please do not dispose of them at official collecting points for recycling either!
All Kling & Freitag products are plain business-to-business (B2B) products.
Disposal of Kling & Freitag products labelled with a waste bin sign have thus to be disposed of by Kling & Freitag alone. Please call Kling & Freitag at the number stated below
if you have a Kling & Freitag product to be disposed. We will offer you a straightforward
and professional disposal not affecting costs.
If there is no dustbin sign on one of your Kling & Freitag products, because they have
been sold before March 2006 then by law the owner is in charge of the disposal. For
these we will be happy to assist and offer you proper ways of disposal.
Telephone number to call about the disposal of used Kling & Freitag products:
+49 (511)-96 99 7-0
Explanation: With the ElektroG (law relating to electrical and electronic equipment and appliances) we have complied with the EUdirective on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE,
2002/96/EC)
The Kling & Freitag GmbH has thus labelled all products mentioned
in the WEEE from 03/24/2006 onwards with a sign with a crossed
out waste bin and a white bar below. This sign indicates that the
disposal into the domestic waste is prohibited and that the product
has been put into circulation at the 03/24/2006 earliest.
The Kling & Freitag GmbH has been legally registered as a manufacturer with the registration office EAR. Our WEEE Registration-Nr. is: DE64110372
For the German Registration office EAR we have accredited that our products are sole
B2B products.
19.2 EU, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein
It is not allowed to dispose of used electrical equipment as
domestic waste.
The Kling & Freitag GmbH has thus labelled all products coming
from EU-Member countries as well as Norway, Island and Liechtenstein (except Germany) mentioned in the WEEE from 08/13/2005
onwards with a sign with a crossed out waste bin and a white bar
below. This sign indicates that the disposal into the domestic waste
is prohibited and that the product has been put into circulation at
the 08/13/2005 earliest.
Unfortunately the European directive WEEE has been complied with implementing different national provisions of law throughout all member countries, which makes it impossible for us to offer consistent solutions for the disposal throughout Europe.
Responsible for complying with these provisions of law is the local distributor (importer)
of each country.
For proper disposition of used products in accordance with these local provisions in
the mentioned countries of the European Union (except Germany) please ask your
local dealer or the local authorities.
19.3 Other Countries
For proper disposition of used products in accordance with local provisions in other
