General Instructions for Using Speakers

Mounting the speakers
To prevent injury, the speakers must be securely placed on the floor or secured to the wall
according to the instructions on page 17 (Mounting Instructions for Speakers). 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. If the weight of the speaker exceeds 20
kg then it is necessary for two people to carry it.
Speakers may only be suspended or mounted to walls or ceilings by qualified personnel.
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 use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning or securing the systems.
When laying the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip.
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.
Speakers and rigging equipment must be visually examined at regular intervals. If there are
signs of wear, they must be replaced immediately. Furthermore, screwed connections of
supporting parts must be checked routinely.

Protecting the speakers / avoiding fire hazard
In general, audio signals should not be overdriven. This may be caused by mixing consoles,
equalizers, effect equipment, etc. and should be indicated on this equipment. When a
power amplifier is overloaded at the output (clipping), then the amplifier should activate a
clipping warning signal. Power amplifiers can also be overloaded at the input circuit with-
out the amplifier signalling the clipping, i.e. when there is not sufficient headroom in the
input circuit. We, therefore, recommend turning up the power amplifiers all the way and
adjusting the level before the power amplifier in order to avoid overloading the input cir-
cuit. In any case, the signal must be reduced as soon as it sounds unnaturally distorted.
To protect the speakers from being destroyed and to avoid fire hazard, they should only be
operated with professional power amplifiers with the following specifications:
Integrated or preceding subsonic filter (approx. 30 Hz, min. 12 dB / octave)
integrated clipping limiter

If you wish to use a speaker with a power amplifier which does not fulfil these specifica-
tions, then the speaker should be controlled using a Kling & Freitag system controller with
limiter function. This is the only way overloading and the risk of fire can be avoided. The
results of such a power amplifier defect cannot be avoided by the controller.
