1.2 Safety precautions and intended use
In connection with KSL/KSLi-TOP groundstacks, the d&b Z5731
KSL Stacking frame is used to provide an adequate and stable
ground support for groundstack setups on top of applicable d&b
subwoofers or other suitable surfaces.
WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or
damage to material!
Always secure ground stacked setups against movement and
possible tipping over.
For this purpose, the stacking frame is equipped with dedicated
guide lugs [5], which accept a standard 60 mm (2.4") ratchet
strap.
Limitations:
Observe the maximum number of cabinets permitted: 6 x KSL/
KSLi-TOP.
▪ Installation and setup should only be carried out by qualified
and authorized personnel observing the valid national Rules for
the Prevention of Accidents (RPA).
▪
▪ Always carry out a visual and functional inspection of the items
before use. In case there is any doubt as to the proper
functioning and safety of the items, these must be withdrawn
from use immediately.
Please also refer to Þ Chapter 3 "Care and maintenance"
on page 9.

Assembly/Disassembly
2.1 Operational safety
The assembly should always be carried out by two persons.
During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Observe all instructions given on the respective instruction labels of
the rigging components and loudspeaker cabinets.
2.2 Tension mode rigging
NOTICE!
For safety and stability reasons, KSL-TOP cabinets must always be
interconnected using the Tension mode.
KSLi-TOP cabinets are interconnected in Tension mode by default
due to the construction of the cabinet's Splay link.
Note: Please also refer to the d&b SL-Series Rigging manual
which can be downloaded from the d&b website at
www.dbaudio.com.
2.3 First cabinet to frame - Instruction label
The rear center Splay link slot of the frame allows the first cabinet
to be set to downtilt angles from 0° to –10° in 2° increments.
To attach the first cabinet to the frame, proceed as follows:
1. Place the frame into its operating position.
2. Secure the frame against movement and possible tipping over
using appropriate ratchet straps.
3. Release the Locking pins at the front of the frame on both
sides.
4. Attach the first cabinet to the front support of the frame and
reinsert the Locking pins on both sides.
5. Slightly lift the back of the cabinet and release the Locking pin
[3] holding the Splay link in its park position (Þ ).
6. Fold down the Splay link and insert Locking pin [3] into the
Tension mode hole at the bottom of the rigging strand (Þ ).

Assembly/Disassembly
7. At the center rear Splay link slot of the frame, release the
bottom Locking pin [2].
8. Use the upper Locking pin [1] to set the desired tilt angle
(e.g. –10°) on the upper hole grid.
9. Lower the cabinet and insert the Splay link into the slot.
10. Raise the back of the cabinet until the Splay link has engaged
and reinsert the bottom Locking pin [2] (Safety pin).
2.4 Adding further cabinets
To add further cabinets, proceed as follows:
1. Extend the Front links of the first cabinet on both sides.
↳The Front links are spring loaded and therefore extend
automatically as soon as the Locking pins are released and
pulled out.
2. Place the next cabinet onto the first cabinet until the Front links
fit into the slots of the cabinet.
3. Insert and lock the second Locking pins of the cabinet's Front
links on both sides.
4. Slightly lift the back of the upper cabinet and release the
Locking pin [3] holding the Splay link in its park position
(Þ ).

the upper hole grid of the bottom cabinet.
8. Lower the upper cabinet and insert the Splay link into the rear
rigging strand of the bottom cabinet.
9. Raise the back of the upper cabinet until the Splay link has
engaged and reinsert the second Locking pin [2] (Safety pin).

Assembly/Disassembly
2.5 Safety and system checks
Recheck the actual status of the entire assembly as follows:
Mechanical setup
1. Ensure the stacking frame is properly secured against
movement and possible tipping over using appropriate rachet
straps and fixing points.
2. Ensure the Locking pins of the front fixing support to the first
cabinet are fully inserted and properly locked on both sides.
3. Ensure both Locking pins fixing the Splay link of the first
cabinet to the rear Splay link slot of the frame are fully inserted
and properly locked.
4. Ensure all Locking pins of the Front links of each cabinet are
fully inserted and properly locked on both sides.
5. Ensure the Splay links of each cabinet are fixed in the Tension
mode hole (Þ ) with Locking pin [3] and that this pin is
fully inserted and properly locked.
6. Check the splay angles and the attachment of the Splay links
at the rear of the cabinets and ensure all Locking pins are fully
inserted and locked.
7. Ensure the Front links of the uppermost cabinet are kept in their
park positions.
Wiring
▪ When the amplifiers are wired and powered on, use their
System check functions or channel mute switches and a test
signal to check the correct operation and routing of all channels
and cabinets.
▪ Alternatively check the wiring using the Array verification
function in R1.
2.6 Disassembly
NOTICE!
The same safety instructions apply.
To dismantle the groundstack, follow the assembly and setup
instructions in reverse order.

Care and maintenance
3.1 Transport / Storing
During transport ensure the stacking frame is not stressed or
damaged by mechanical forces. Use suitable transport cases.
Due to their surface treatment the rigging components are
temporarily protected against moisture. However, ensure the
components are in a dry state while stored or during transport.
3.2 Visual and functional inspection
WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or
damage to material.
To eliminate the risk of accident due to malfunctioning of a
component, regularly inspect all system components.
Stacking frame
▪ Visual inspection regarding any indication of deformation and
damage (e.g. cracks and corrosion) including all drilled holes of
the component.
▪ Regularly check the flatness of the frame. For this purpose,
position the frames on a flat surface and visually check the
frame for deformation and/or torsion. For obvious deformation
and/or torsion contact d&b audiotechnik for further advice on
how to proceed.
Cabinet enclosure
▪ Visual inspection of all fitting plates for obvious damage (e.g.
cracks or corrosion).
▪ Visual inspection of the rear rigging strand for obvious damage
(e.g. cracks, deformation or corrosion) including all drilled holes
of the component.
▪ Inspection of all fitting plates including front grills to ensure they
are securely attached.
▪ Regularly lubricate the sockets using WD-40® or a similar
product.
Front and Splay/Rear links
Visual inspection regarding deformation and damage (e.g. cracks
and corrosion) including all drilled holes of the component.
Locking pins
▪ Visual inspection for deformation, cracks and corrosion of the
component.
▪ Inspection for missing ball bearings and damage.
▪ Functional inspection of the release mechanism to ensure it
operates properly.
▪ Regularly lubricate the Locking pins using WD-40® or a similar
product.
