1. General Safety 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 fall-
ing 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 connec-
tions of supporting parts must be checked routinely.
Protecting the Speakers
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 without the
amplifier signalling the clipping, i.e. when there is not sufficient headroom in the input cir-
cuit. 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 circuit. 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 specifica-
tions:
−integrated clipping limiter
−without using a Kling & Freitag controller:
Integrated or preceding subsonic filter (approx. 20 Hz, min. 12 dB / octave)
For damage caused by overloading or use with power amplifiers other than those rec-
ommended above, Kling & Freitag GmbH does not assume warranty and excludes liabil-
ity for possible consequential damage.
The following signals may damage the speakers
−permanent high-pitched signals with high frequency, and continuous noise from
feedback.
−permanently distorted signals with high power.
−noises, which occur when the amplifier is on while equipment is being connected,
disconnected or switched on.
Do not install devices in any of the following places:
−where the devices are permanently exposed to direct sunlight.
−where the devices are exposed to high moisture.
−where the devices are exposed to strong vibrations and dust.

Important

User’s Manual K&F ‘SW’ Series Subwoofer Systems
KLING & FREITAG GMBH ©1998 - 2015 Version 5.1, 29.05.2015 Page 7 of 7
Damage caused by the speakers' magnetic fields
Speakers are permanently surrounded by a magnetic field even when they are not oper-
ating. Therefore, during transport and placement of the speakers, it is important to
ensure that there is always approx. 1 m between the speakers and magnetic data media
and computer/video monitors.
Preventing hearing damage
To prevent the risk of hearing damage, avoid being too close to operating speakers
even if the volume level seems to be low enough. In general, volume levels over 90 dB
can cause hearing damage.

3. Notes for the ‘Outdoor’ Option
Speakers with the option ‘Outdoor Mobile’ and ‘Outdoor Installation’ have been opti-
mised for outdoor use. They withstand temperature fluctuations in moderate climate
zones and do not accumulate condensation water.
In order to guarantee the longevity and safety of the speakers, the speakers with the
option ‘Outdoor’ must still be protected from direct effects of the weather.
They should be installed, for example, under a roof so that they also have sufficient
protection from driving rain from the side and direct sunlight.

4. Notes for the SW112 / SWi 112 with Option ‘100V’
Kling & Freitag speakers with ‘100V’ option are fitted with high-quality toroidal trans-
formers. This serves to minimize loss of sound. Highly professional sound reinforcement
results can be achieved by using 100 V Kling & Freitag speakers.
4.1 Reasons for choosing Spea ers with 100 V Technology
−Reduction in conduction loss.
−Easy assembly of a loudspeaker network due to simple parallel wiring.
The sum of the output power of the individual speakers (stated as VA = W)
must not exceed the output power of the 100 V amplifier.
−Speakers are galvanically isolated.
−Speakers can be integrated into existing 100 V systems.

5. Instructions for Suspending the Speakers
The speakers may only be suspended by trained specialised personnel with
proof of their qualifications.
Observe the prescribed safety factors. Follow the safety instructions for
speakers and mounting equipment as well as the respective national rules,
norms and safety regulations.
Speaker systems, whether single or connected to one another, must always be secured
to a second separate point, even if two rigging points are used for suspending the
speaker system!
A maximum load of 73 kg may be hung below one SW 215E subwoofer. This means a
maximum additional load of 36.5 kg on each flying point.
A maximum load of 50 kg may be suspended from the two flying points of all other
subwoofers. This means a maximum additional load of 25 kg on each flying point.
Ensure that all connections are secured to prevent their detaching on their own and
that only admissible statically tested and sufficiently sized mounts, connecting devices,
ropes and chains are used.
5.1 SW 215E and Clic & Fly Accessories
The Click & Fly rigging system is a certified and type tested rigging system for safe and
comfortable rigging of SW 215E or Line 212 systems.
Click & Fly Systems with the classification of ‘CLICK & FLY RIGGING SYSTEM’
may not be used with the SW 215E Systems without the supplementary
measures described below.
This is necessary due to safety measures for the subwoofer system, which have become
additionally necessary. Only when these new supplementary measures are observed can
it be guaranteed that you will have a safe and accordingly certified product for your

5.2 Subwoofers with ‘Flying Thread’ M12 (SWi Versions)
If you want to use the SP subwoofers equipped with ‘flying threads’ M12, please read
the following instructions.
Appropriate fastening mechanisms with an external screw thread of M12 and a mini-
mum length of 35 mm! may be screwed on to the M 12 thread inserts. The internal
screw threads in the speaker enclosure are fastened during production with counter-
sunk head screws M12.
The two internal screw threads of the inner enclosure edge are on an L-bracket. This L-
bracket has the function of connecting the adjoining plates of the enclosure. It provides
sufficient tensile strength for flown operations. To guarantee that the enclosure plates
are correctly connected by the L-brackets, only one screw of the enclosure edge may be
loosened at a time. If both screws of an enclosure edge become loose, then, for safety
reasons, the L-bracket will collapse into the enclosure.
If the L-bracket has fallen into the enclosure the loudspeaker must on no ac-
count be used again until it has been repaired by an authorized repair service.
When mounting the speakers, use only fastening mechanisms with threads that extend
at least 35 mm into the speaker enclosure. Take into account the permissible load ca-
pacity of the fastening mechanisms while considering the safety factors. Mount the
speakers using at least two independently operating points. Secure all screws to prevent
loosening.
Warning
Always use flat
washers M12 with
the customary outer
diameter of 37 mm
Loosen only one of
these two screws at a
time!

6. Mounting Instructions for Speakers
Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the
speakers securely so that they do not fall. Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured
with securing straps. When laying 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. These conditions must, therefore,
be guaranteed by the user:
Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direc-
tion. If this requirement is not fulfilled, then it is necessary to take steps to
achieve compliance. Possible measures include strapping it to an appropriate
base structure or fastening it using safety straps.
6.1 Using the Mounting Equipment ‘Distance Rod’
The subwoofer is equipped with a threaded flange (M20) on the top of the enclosure
for mounting the optionally available distance rod (not on the SWi versions).
All K&F top speakers with a mounting flange or stand adapter may be mounted on the
distance rod. Only use authentic Kling & Freitag distance rods and stand adapters. We
can only guarantee safe operations when these parts are used.
When a top speaker is mounted on the subwoofer using a distance rod, the stability of
the speakers is reduced. Please follow the stability requirements in chapter 6!
When re-positioning after set-up, remove the upper speaker mounted on the distance
rod first.
Special note for the model SW 112
A top speaker with a maximum weight of 28 kg (i.e. CA 1201) may be mounted on this
speaker using a distance rod. Speakers, which are heavier than 28 kg, may not be
mounted on the distance rod flange and must be mounted on an additional speaker
stand.

In addition to the stacking foot
grooves for stacking the same
enclosures, the subwoofer SW
115E also has stacking foot
grooves for the Line 212 system.
One Line 212 System can be
quickly and safely positioned on
top of the subwoofer.
6.3 LINE 212 Systems on Top of SW 215E
In addition to the stacking foot grooves for stacks of
identical enclosures, the subwoofer SW 115E also has
stacking foot grooves for the Line 212 system.
One Line 212 System can be quickly and safely posi-
tioned on top of a vertically placed SW 215E.
Two Line 212 systems can be precisely arrayed on top of
a horizontally placed SW 215E.
Other combinations of Line 212 Systems are not recommended as they can cause unwanted interferences. .

7. Short Circuit Fuses in the K&F Subwoofer Systems
7.1 Ris s of using High Performance Power Amplifiers
In recent years, power amplifiers have achieved increasingly higher levels of perfor-
mance. Some of them can be operated with low-impedance loads. There are, therefore,
strong power amplifiers that can reliably work with impedances below 1 Ω. This devel-
opment has led to an increased safety risk during defective operations.
When there is a defect, such as a short circuit in the speaker chassis or on the crossover,
it is possible that the power amplifier --- despite existing protective switches --- will not
shut off. Long cable lengths and contact resistance on the plug connections may already
have an electrical resistance of 1 Ω. As a result, the power amplifier cannot ‘‘recognise’’
the operations as being defective and, therefore, delivers unacceptable high currents. In
the worst-case scenario, this may lead to fire damage (hot and charred wiring / con-
nectors as a result of overloaded conductors and connectors, etc.). The current safety
regulations are lagging behind this development and are thus not up-to-date with this
modern technology.
In order to give consideration to this development, Kling & Freitag now equips its sub-
woofer systems with short circuit fuses at the signal input. These fuses do not offer
protection for the speaker, but do reduce the risk of consequential damage in the case
of a short circuit.
For systems, which are not serially equipped with a short circuit fuse, Kling & Freitag
offers simple add-on kits so that you can adapt your existing subwoofer systems to the
current power amplifier development.
7.2 Identifying the Models with Short Circuit Fuses
The subwoofer systems, which are serially equipped with, fire safety fuses can be identi-
fied as follows; both mentioned stipulations must be fulfilled:
POWER: 700W
WT: 51,5kg
XO-ON OFF
SER.-NO.:
25080000070
IMP: 6
Adob e Systems
All subwoofer systems, which are not serially equipped with short circuit fuses, can be, if
required, easily and inexpensively upgraded even by yourself.
An instruction manual for this upgrade is delivered with the add-on kit.
7.3 Specification of the Fuses
The fuses in all models have the following identical specifications:
Bussmann S 506
Bussmann S 506Bussmann S 506

When necessary, these fuses may only be replaced with the aforementioned original
fuse.

least 25.
The next two
digits must be at
least 08.

7.4 Replacement and Positions of the Short Circuit Fuses
When the fuse is burned out, then the chassis is most likely already ruined, as the fuse
just prevents consequential damage resulting from a short circuit of the chassis.
A disassembly of the chassis is, therefore, unavoidable.
7.4.1 Subwoofers without Crossover (XO)
The fuse holder of the subwoofers without a crossover (XO) is mounted on the signal
wiring behind the input connector. The subwoofers with two chassis have 2 fuses be-
cause the chassis are intended for parallel use.
When replacing the fuse, the chassis must be removed in order to reach the fuse holder.
Unscrewing the connecting terminal does not enable you to reach the fuse holder.
When the chassis is re-assembled, first loosely fasten the screws diagonal from one
another, then tighten them. By tightening the screws diagonally in two steps, a defor-
mation of the chassis and thus a possible de-centring of the voice coil can be avoided.
7.4.2 Subwoofers with Crossover (XO)
The fuses of the subwoofers with a crossover are serially mounted on the crossover. The
exact position is described in the chapter ‘Internal Wiring of Subwoofers with ow-Pass
Filter (XO)’ beginning on page 25 for the particular models.
If it happens to be a model, which has already been upgraded, then the fuse holder is
mounted on the signal wiring behind the input connector.
When replacing the fuse in both cases, the chassis must be removed in order to reach
the fuse holder. Unscrewing the connecting terminal does not enable you to reach the
fuse holder.
When the chassis is re-assembled, first loosely fasten the screws diagonal from one
another, then tighten them. By tightening the screws diagonally in two steps, a defor-
mation of the chassis and thus a possible de-centring of the voice coil can be avoided.
7.5 Add-On Kits for Subwoofers without Short Circuit Fuses
All subwoofer systems, which are not serially equipped with short circuit fuses, can be, if
required, easily and inexpensively upgraded even by yourself.
An instruction manual for this upgrade is delivered with the add-on kit.
Subwoofers with a crossover that are not serially equipped with short circuit fuses can
also be, if necessary, upgraded with fire safety fuses. The crossover does not need to be
replaced. For this, we offer an add-on kit that is mounted between the crossover input
and the input connector.
