3. Safety Instructions
3.1 Mounting the Speakers / Wall and Ceiling Installation
Warning
The speakers may only be mounted by qualified event technicians or personnel which are
instructed by them, adequately. This also applies for wall and ceiling fixations.
The technicians responsible for assembling the speakers on site are responsible for the safe
setup and use of the speakers and guarantee the safe use of the mounting elements.
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, the stability and type of the construction of walls, ceilings and panelling. 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 safety-relevant components of the speaker
and the accessory 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 a safety, secure the long nut and the M10 nut from
loosening. You can do this by using threadlocking adhesives or sealants.
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.
3.2 Notes for Mounting the Speakers
Caution
Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the
speakers securely so that they do not fall. 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. When laying out 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:
