7. Mounting Instructions for Speakers
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
contingent upon the following stability requirement. These conditions must, therefore,
be guaranteed by the user:
Stacked systems may Stacked systems may Stacked systems may Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction.

7.1 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 possi-
ble 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 pro-
grams 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
the CA 1001. 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.
