Avvertimenti:

•In caso di apertura di parti di rivestimento o rimozione di parti

dell'involucro,

a meno che non si tratti di pezzi rimovibili semplicemente a mano,

possono venire alla luce parti dell'apparecchio conduttrici di tensione.

•Se l'apertura dell'apparecchio dovesse risultare necessaria è indispens-

abile staccare precedentemente quest'ultimo da tutte le fonti di tensio-

ne. Rispettare tale misura di prevenzione anche prima di un allineamen-

to, di operazioni di manutenzione, della messa in esercizio o della

sostituzione di componenti

all'interno dell'apparecchio.

•Allineamento, operazioni di manutenzione o eventuali riparazioni

dell'apparecchio in presenza di tensione vanno eseguite esclusivamente

da personale specializzato ed autorizzato, in grado di eseguire tali

operazioni evitandone

i rischi connessi.

•Le uscite degli altoparlanti contrassegnate dai caratteri IEC 417/5036

(vedi illustrazione 1 a fondo pag.) possono essere conduttrici di tensione

pericolosa con cui evitare il contatto. Per questo motivo, prima di

accendere l'apparecchio, collegare quest'ultimo agli altoparlanti serven-

dosi esclusivamente del cavetto d'allacciamento indicato dal produttore.

•Tutte le spine e i cavi di collegamento devono essere avvitati o fissati

all'involucro dell'apparecchio per quanto possibile.

•Utilizzare esclusivamente fusibili del tipo IEC 127 con la indicata

corrente nominale.

•L'utilizzo di fusibili di sicurezza non integri e la messa in corto circuito

del sostegno di metallo sono proibite.

•Non interrompere mai il collegamento con il circuito di protezione.

•Superfici contrassegnate dalla parola "HOT" (vedi illustrazione 2 a fondo

pag.), cosi come griglie di aerazione, dispositivi di raffreddamento e i

loro rivestimenti di protezione, oppure valvole e i relativi rivestimenti

protettivi possono surriscaldarsi notevolmente durante l'uso e per

questo motivo non vanno toccate.

•L'ascolto di suoni ad alto volume può provocare danni permanenti

all'udito. Evitate perciò la diretta vicinanza con altoparlanti ad alta

emissione di suono

e utilizzate cuffie protettive in caso ciò non sia possibile.

Alimentazione:

•L'apparecchio è concepito per il funzionamento continuo.

•La tensione di esercizio deve corrispondere alla tensione di rete a cui ci

si allaccia.

•L'allacciamento alla rete elettrica avviene tramite alimentatore o cavetto

d'alimentazione consegnato insieme all'apparecchio.

•Alimentatore: un cavo di connessione danneggiato non può essere

sostituito. L'alimentatore non può più essere utilizzato.

•Evitate un allacciamento alla rete di corrente utilizzando cassette di

distribuzione sovraccariche.

•La spina di corrente deve essere situata nelle vicinanze dell'apparecchio

e facilmente raggiungibile in qualsiasi momento.

Locali di collocamento:

•Opportuno collocare l'apparecchio su una superficie pulita e orizzontale.

•Non sottoporre l'apparecchio in funzione a scosse e vibrazioni.

•Proteggere l'apparecchio per quanto possibile da umidità e polvere.

•Non collocare l'apparecchio vicino ad acqua, vasche da bagno, lavandini,

lavelli da cucina, locali umidi o piscine. Non appoggiare recipienti

contenenti liquidi - vasi, bicchieri, bottiglie, ecc. - sull'apparecchio.

•Provvedere ad una buone aerazione dell'apparecchio.

•Eventuali aperture previste per la ventilazione dell'apparecchio non

vanno ne bloccate, ne mai coperte. L'apparecchio va collocato ad almeno

20 cm di distanza dalle pareti circostanti e può essere inserito tra altre

componenti di un impianto solo in caso di sufficiente ventilazione e

qualora le direttive di montaggio del produttore vengano rispettate.

•Evitare di esporre l'apparecchio ai raggi del sole e di collocarlo diretta-

mente nelle vicinanze di fonti di calore come caloriferi, stufette, ecc.

•Se l'apparecchio viene trasportato rapidamente da un locale freddo ad

uno riscaldato può succedere che al suo interno si crei della condensa.

Ciò va tenuto in considerazione soprattutto in caso di apparecchi a

valvole. Attendere che l'apparecchio abbia assunto la temperatura

ambiente prima di accenderlo.

•Accessori: non collocare l'apparecchio su carrelli, supporti, treppiedi, su-

perfici o tavoli instabili. Se l'apparecchio dovesse cadere a terra potrebbe

causare danni a terzi o danneggiarsi irreparabilmente. Utilizzate per il

collocamento dell'apparecchio supporti, treppiedi e superfici che siano

consigliate dal produttore o direttamente comprese nell'offerta di

vendita. Per il collocamento dell'apparecchio attenetevi strettamente alle

istruzioni del produttore, utilizzando esclusivamente accessori da esso

consigliati. L'apparecchio in combinazione ad un supporto va spostato

con molta attenzione. Movimenti bruschi o il collocamento su pavimenti

non piani possono provocare la caduta dell'apparecchio e del suo

supporto.

•Accessori supplementari: non utilizzate mai accessori supplementari che

non siano consigliati dal produttore, potendo essere ciò causa di inci-

denti.

•Per proteggere l'apparecchio in caso di temporali o nel caso questo non

venisse utilizzato per diverso tempo si consiglia di staccarne la spina di

corrente.

In questo modo si evitano danni all'apparecchio dovuti a colpi di fulmine

o ad improvvisi aumenti di tensione nel circuito di corrente alternata.

HK Audio®item number: 193673

2.4 Mounting

Attach the speaker enclosure to a pick point on

the Aeroquip track using a starter cable

comprising a snap link, a cable with the required

length, and a stud. One track is located on the

top of the housing for arraying the enclosure

vertically, and one is on the side for arraying the

enclosure horizontally.

Secure the speaker to prevent it from falling. To

this end, insert an HK AUDIO®EB 10 eyebolt into

the recessed thread on the rear of the CT 112 or

CT 115. Attach the arrest wire to the eyebolt and

transom.

Ensure the pick points are able to handle the

given load (a CT 112 with a starter cable weighs

approx. 27 kg; a CT 115 with a starter cable weighs

approx. 37 kg).

The position of the stud in the Aeroquip track

determines the cabinet’s angle of tilt. Since the

length of the cables used to attach the cabinets to

the rigging point (the ceiling of the venue, a

transom, a cross beam, etc.) will vary according

to the given venue’s mounting options, you must

adjust the length of the cables accordingly. If the

length of the HK AUDIO®starter cable does not

suffice, you can have cables made in the required

length by any certified cable manufacturer using

the following parts.

Snap link: Snap link with safety lock gate, 1 ton

load-carrying capacity, quality grade 8 (for

example: SOCS 6-8)

2 CT 112

CT 112 Fullrange Cabinet

The CT 112 is a passive speaker cabinet that may

also be configured in biamp mode. Courtesy of its

dual-purpose housing, it can serve as a FOH

speaker as well as a stage monitor. The CT 112’s

hallmarks include extremely high SPL and speech

intelligibility, extraordinary phase linearity,

considerable dynamic range and an HF horn

optimized with the BEM (Boundary Element

Method) ensure ultra precise directivity and

optimal clustering without phase cancellations.

Courtesy of its low-profile housing, it is also an

outstanding option for demanding stage monito-

ring applications. The Shape switch on its rear

panel reconfigures and optimizes the CT 112

crossover to satisfy the different requirements of

FOH and monitor applications. The CT 112 is

available in left and right versions for symmetrical

monitoring arrays. The CT 118 Sub subwoofer is

the recommended enhancement for setting up

powerful, two-way active systems.

The CT 112 may be operated in passive or biamp

mode with or without a controller. For the best

audio results, it is recommended that this

enclosure be operated with the HK AUDIO®DSM

2060 Controller or HK AUDIO®Digital Field Con-

troller (DFC) in combination with a DFC network.

Application scenarios: Full-range public address,

near-field sound reinforcement for applications

demanding high SPL, for example, as an FOH

mid-/high-range unit in live clubs, an ancillary

front fill for COHEDRA™ systems, a mid-/high-

range unit for side or drum fills and for

monitoring on larger stages.

Enclosure design and mechanical appointments:

The CT 112’s enclosure is constructed of 18-mm,

13-ply birch plywood. Shaped to serve dual func-

tions, the housing is 38 cm wide, 62 cm high and

34 cm deep, and weighs 25 kg. The surface is

coated with black water-repellent acrylic lacquer.

The front baffle is protected by a steel grille. The

enclosure’s panels are equipped with a total of

two Aeroquip rigging tracks and two threaded

M10 bushings. The CT 112 may be flown horizon-

tally as well as vertically. Recessed handles are

located on the top and bottom panels of the

housing. An HK AUDIO®TripleTilt™ Pole Mount

Adapter is on the bottom panel; it allows the

cabinet to be mounted on a tripod at three diffe-

rent tilt angles ( +5°, -3° or -10°).

Electrical and acoustical data:

The CT 112 features a direct-loaded 12" Neo-

dymium speaker and a 1.4" B&C high-frequency

driver with a 60° x 40° CD horn. Courtesy of the

housings’ foursquare design, the horn may be

rotated to 40° x 60° inside the housing. The

CT 112’s frequency response ranges from 80 Hz to

16 kHz (+/- 3 dB). Nominal power handling is

400 watts RMS at 8 ohms. Axial sensitivity is

107 dB, measured under half-space conditions at

1 watt @1m. Maximum SPL measured under the

same conditions at a distance of one meter is

134 dB.

Connectors:

Connectors, the Passive/Biamp switch and the

Shape switch are located out of harm’s way on a

countersunk panel on the back of the CT 112. This

panel offers two Speakon NL 4 ports. Both ports’

four pins are wired in parallel. Pin assignments in

passive mode are pin 1+ = mid/high +, 1- =

mid/high -, 2+ = sub +, 2- = sub 2-. In biamp

mode, the HF signal is routed via pin 1+ / 1-. The

LF/MF signal is routed via pin 2+ / 2- of the

Speakon connectors.

Figure 7: Vertical directivity CT 112

Figure 8: Horizontal directivity CT 112

2.2 Adjusting Directivity

The HF horn’s mounting yoke is square, enabling

the horn to be rotated 90°. To do this, please

detach the front grille by unscrewing the screws

(M4 x 25 countersunk) on the side panels using a

Phillips screwdriver. Then remove the four M4x25

screws holding the horn in place. Now you can

rotate the horn by 90°.

2.3 Shape and Mode Switches

The CT 112 features a Shape switch on its rear

panel. This switch optimizes the passive cross-

over, enabling the cabinet to be used as an FOH

speaker or as a (passive) monitor. When the

switch is set to the Monitor position, the 1.4"

driver’s dampening factor is reduced to ensure

the speakers cuts through on loud stages.

The Mode switch configures the CT 112 for

passive or bi-amp modes. In bi-amp mode, the

12" speaker’s passive crossover is deactivated,

though the 1.4" driver’s slight pre-dampening -

accomplished using passive components -

remains enabled. The HK AUDIO®Controller

DSM 2060 is equipped with a factory preset filter

for bi-amp mode. When configuring the enclosure

for bi-amp mode, set the Shape switch to the

position labeled Monitor!

3 CT 115

CT 115 Fullrange Cabinet

The CT 115 is a passive speaker cabinet that may

also be configured in biamp mode. Offering an

extended low-frequency range and featuring a

dual-purpose housing, it can serve as a FOH

speaker as well as a stage monitor. The CT 115’s

hallmarks include speech intelligibility, extra-

ordinary phase linearity, and wide dynamic range.

Its HF horn has been optimized using the BEM

(Boundary Element Method) for precise directivity

and optimal clustering without phase

cancellations.

The CT 115 was developed principally for fullrange

sound reinforcement applications over short to

medium throw distances, without an additional

subwoofer. When used as a stage monitor (Shape

switch set to Monitor), the CT 115 cuts through

even on loud stages and is able to handle kick

drum and bass signals. The CT 115 is available in

left and right versions for symmetrical monitoring

arrays. The CT 118 Sub subwoofer is the

recommended enhancement for setting up power-

ful, two-way active systems.

The CT 115 may be operated in passive or biamp

mode with or without a controller. For the best

audio results, it is recommended that this

enclosure be operated with the HK AUDIO®DSM

4 CT 118 Sub

CT 118 Sub Subwoofer

The CT 118 Sub is a direct-radiating bass reflex

subwoofer designed for use in active sound

reinforcement systems. It was developed

specifically for deployment in combination with

the ConTour Series™ cabinets CT 108, CT 112 and

CT 115. Loaded with a neodymium woofer, the

CT 118 Sub is extremely compact and light-weight.

Delivering uniform bass response, it renders

impulses with accuracy and authority even at peak

loads. The CT 118 Sub is the perfect choice of

bass bin for setting up high-performance front-of-

house systems and drum/side fills.

The CT 118 Sub can be retrofitted with an optional

passive crossover. The passive crossover is

equipped with bona fide low-pass and high-pass

filters enabling the configuration of basic satellite

systems without having to resort to further power

amps or active crossovers. This makes it the ideal

no-hassle option for enhancing low-end response.

For maximum performance, it is recommended

that this enclosure be operated with an

HK AUDIO®DSM 2060™ Controller or an

HK AUDIO®Digital Field Controller™ (DFC) in

combination with a DFC network.

Application scenarios: Low-frequency enhance-

ment for setups entailing CT 108, CT 112 and

CT 115 speakers.

Enclosure design and mechanical appointments:

The enclosure is constructed of 18-mm, 13-ply

birch plywood. The housing is 50 cm wide, 60 cm

high and 68 cm deep, and weighs 42.5 kg. The

surface is coated with black water-repellent acrylic

lacquer. The front baffle is protected by a steel

grille. One recessed handle each is located on the

side panels. An M20 Pole Mount Adapter

provides the base for a pole designed to accept a

CT 108, CT 112 or CT 115 enclosure used in

satellite systems. An optionally available dolly

equipped with four 100-mm castors makes the

cabinet easy to transport.

Electrical and acoustical data:

The CT 118 Sub features a direct-loaded 18"

neodymium speaker. The CT 118 Sub’s frequency

response ranges from 41 Hz to 350 kHz

(+/- 3 dB). Nominal power handling is 1,000

watts RMS at 8 ohms. Axial sensitivity is 100 dB,

measured under half-space conditions at 1 watt

@1m. Maximum SPL measured under the same

conditions at a distance of one meter is 129 dB.

Connectors:

Connectors*) are located out of harm’s way on a

countersunk panel on the back of the CT 118 Sub.

This panel offers two Speakon NL 4 ports. Both

ports’ four pins are wired in parallel. Pin assign-

ments are pin 1+ = mid/high +, 1- = mid/high -,

2+ = Sub +, 2- = Sub 2-.

*) without a passive crossover

4.1 Optional Passive Crossover for the CT 118 Sub

Figure 19: Passive crossover for the

CT 118 Sub

The passive crossover is equipped with full-

fledged low-pass and high-pass filters. They

enable you to set up basic passive satellite

systems without requiring further power amps or

active crossovers.

To install the crossover, proceed as follows:

Remove the front grille and the 18" speaker. Then

replace the internally mounted connector panel

with the passive crossover. Reconnect the 18“

speaker to the two ends of the speaker wires.

Ensure the polarity is correct! Red marks the

positive terminal, and black the negative terminal!

Handling:

On the passive crossover’s connector panel you

will find a selector switch that serves to deactivate

the crossover’s low-pass filter for the 18" speaker.

If you intend to use the CT 118 Sub in an active

setup (that is, bi-amped), set the switch to Cross-

over OFF. For a passive configuration with a

satellite speaker (mid-/high-range unit), set the

switch to Crossover ON. In this case, be sure to

connect the satellite speaker (mid-/high-range

unit) to the Satellite Out port. For active two-way

mode, connect the satellite speaker to the Output

port (and not to Satellite Out!). Ensure that the

signal destined for the satellite speaker is routed

via pins 1+ and 1- of the Speakon connectors! The

subwoofer signal is then routed via pin 2+ and 2-.

4.2 Specifications, CT 118 Sub

A professional subwoofer loaded with an 18"

neodymium woofer mounted in a precision-tuned

bass reflex enclosure, the CT 118 Sub delivers low-

ranging, dynamic bass response to enhance

ConTour Series™ cabinets’ low-end performance.

The rectangular block housing is made of 18-mm

birch plywood coated with black acrylic lacquer.

The top panel features indentations to accept the

feet of a subwoofer stacked on top of the

enclosure, while a recessed threaded M20

bushing accepts an optional mounting pole. An

impact-resistant steel grille backed with lamina-

ted acoustic foam rubber protects the front baffle.

Recessed handles are located on the side panels.

Crossover frequencies are determined by an

HK AUDIO®DSM 2060 Controller using a 4th-

order Hardman low-pass filter at 100 Hz and a

4th-order Hardman high-pass filter at 30 Hz.

You can download recommended settings for

driving ConTour Series™ speakers via a digital

controller from the website at www.hkaudio.com

For the best performance, use an HK AUDIO

DSM 2060 Digital Controller. The DSM 2060 is

factory-equipped with special filters for all

ConTour Series™ speakers for use in both FOH

and (bi-amped) monitor applications.

It features two inputs and six outputs that may be

configured individually for FOH and monitoring

applications to serve touring and fixed installation

purposes. Up to six parametric EQs and two

additional shelving filters may be applied to every

input/output for the purpose of fine-tuning the

system to suit the given requirements. The

innovative HFT™ Hardman Filter Technology

satisfies high-end audio-demands and raises the

performance bar for this class of controller. The

HK AUDIO®DSM 2060 Digital Speaker Manage-

ment device is equipped with high-end 24-bit,

96-kHz converters that ensure pure, unadultera-

ted digital signal processing and frequency

response ranging up to 40 kHz. It offers input

delays ranging up to 400 ms and output delays

ranging up to 80 ms for configuring delay zones

and aligning the times of speaker components in

systems comprising multiple amped signals.

Various limiters can be assigned to each output

and adjusted in fine 0.2 dB increments to protect

speakers and drivers.

This controller’s flagship feature is an extensive

selection of Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley

and other crossovers with slopes varying from 6

to 24 dB. The HK AUDIO®DSM 2060’s fourth-

order and eighth-order Hardman filter is a unique

feature serving to configure 36 dB and 52 dB

slopes for crossovers.

In contrast to conventional filters with steep

slopes, the Hardman filter minimizes phase

shifting and group delay even at maximum slopes

to preserve the signal’s natural sound. This

results in exceptionally precise frequency cross-

over and faster roll-off rates, thereby minimizing

distortion, enabling lower crossover frequencies,

and affording drivers greater protection. And all

this makes the most of the connected system's

headroom and enhances operating reliability.

developed especially for HK AUDIO®products

and are not available directly from speaker

manufacturers!

2 Replacing Loud-

speakers and Voice

Coils

2.1 8", 12", 15" and 18" Speakers

Proceed as follows to replace the given speaker:

• Unfasten and remove the Phillips screws on the

side panels holding the grille in place. Remove

the grille. On the CT 118 Sub these screws are

located on the front panel.

• Unfasten and remove the hex head bolts holding

the speaker in place.

The speaker is now detached. Disconnect the

speaker wires.

When installing and connecting a replacement

speaker, ensure the polarity is correct!

Red= positive, black = negative

2.2 The Drivers’ Voice Coils

Proceed as follows to replace the drivers’ voice

coils:

• Remove the front grille as described above.

• Unfasten the four screws holding the horn yoke

and remove the horn and driver from the baffle.

• Disconnect the wires connecting the driver.

When installing and connecting a replacement

speaker, ensure the polarity is correct! Red=

positive, black = negative.

• Unfasten the voice coil housing’s four hex head

bolts using a 3-mm wrench. Disconnect the

wires at the push-pins.

• Take the lid off the voice coil housing.

• The voice coil can now be replaced.

Important note: Replace the voice coil in a clean

working environment only. Be sure to keep dust

and dirt out of the open driver. If despite your

precautions particles manage to get in, use a strip

of adhesive tape to remove them or carefully blow

compressed air into the back of the driver to

whisk the particles out. When installing the new

voice coil, ensure it is centered properly. Proceed

as follows to check this:

Close the cover of the voice coil housing and

reconnect the cords (red = positive, black =

negative). Feed a sine wave signal with a

frequency between 1000 Hz and 1500 Hz into the

mid/high enclosure’s input. Sweep through the

frequency. If you hear abrasive noises like

crackling or scratching, the voice coil is not

centered properly. Reopen the voice coil chassis

and turn the voice coil a bit until the signal is

rendered cleanly!
