5. Stand�Installation
The retainer nut of the Mounting Arm is equipped with a 5/8" thread into which a reducer with an in-
ner thread of M10 is screwed. You can exchange this thread reducer for a commercially available re-
ducer for microphone stands so you can mount the Mounting Arm onto a microphone stand. Depend-
ing on the design of the stand, the thread reducer for microphone stands have a 3/8" or a 1/2" inner
thread that fit onto the thread bolts of the stands.
Exchange the provided 5/8" thread reducer with a
standard thread reduce for stands
(A).
Screw the the thread reducer (A) onto the bolt
of the stand by hand. Make sure the slit of the
thread reducer is facing the stand.
Using a 19 mm jaw spanner, screw the retainer
nut onto the bolts of the stand.
To ensure that the speaker does not loosen and
cannot turn, you must screw the retainer nut
tightly onto the knurled nut of the stand.
6. Proper�Alignment�of�the�Loudspeakers
Please note that precisely targeted speaker systems can significantly improve the acoustic result. It is
not possible to make generalities about the alignment of specific systems because the room has a sub-
stantial 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 be-
tween front and back seats than higher standing systems.
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
