User's Manual K&F VIDA M Accessories for Mobile Use
2 Product Description
Using these accessories allows for flexible mobile use of all VIDA M speaker types. You can set
them up for different applications on a regular and recurring basis.
2.1 Intended Use
To be operated by qualified personnel only.
Unless otherwise stated, use only KLING & FREITAG original parts for mounting.
2.1.1 VIDA M Mounting Adapter
The VIDA M mounting adapter is provided for use with VIDA M 110 / 110 S and VIDA M 220
/ 220 S speakers. It is designed for permanent attachment to the speaker and allows for
mounting other accessories, thus ensuring flexible mobile use of the speaker.
The VIDA M mounting adapter is not designed for regularly attaching/removing it to/from the
speaker. Once installed, be sure to leave the accessory attached to the speaker.
The installation on one side of the speaker allows for recurrent use of the following:
•Eyelets
•Spigot adapter
•Stand adapter (only for the VIDA M 110 / 110 S)
With the above accessories, be sure to use the VIDA M mounting adapter indoors only.
Outdoor use is permitted only after taking appropriate steps (for example additional horizontal
bracing at the speaker bottom and providing a structural certification specifically for the appli-
cation at hand).
When installing mounting adapters on both sides of the speaker, this provides a second handle
for safer handling. It also allows the use of a VIDA M Truss Adapter Set.
Any other use as well as any use not described in this User’s Guide is not an intended use.
2.1.2 VIDA M Truss Adapter Set
For using the Truss Adapter Set, you need two VIDA M mounting adapters (sold sep-
arately).
Using the VIDA M Truss Adapter Set, you can attach a VIDA M 110 / 110 S or VIDA M 220 /
220 S speaker either vertically or horizontally to a truss or tube with a diameter of approx.
50 mm.
A speaker system installed using this set can be exposed to certain wind loads and therefore
be installed outdoors.
Prerequisite is a peak velocity pressure of q = 0.97 kN/m² acting on the speaker. According to
the German DIN EN 1991-1-4 standard, this corresponds to wind zone 2 (inland) and a maxi-
mum operating height of 25 m above the ground.
Any other use as well as any use not described in this User’s Guide is not an intended use.
2.1.3 VIDA M Connector Panel
The VIDA M connector panel provides ports for power supply, audio, and network signals. It
can be mounted to any VIDA M speaker. The panel makes establishing and separating connec-
tions simple and is particularly useful in mobile use (for example, with rental applications).
Note that the requirements of the IP65 specifications are met only when using Neutrik True
Outdoor Protection (TOP) series connectors.
The installation of the connector panel must be performed by a qualified electrician. We there-
fore recommend permanent installations.
Any other use as well as any use not described in this User’s Guide is not an intended use.

However, using an installed VIDA M mounting adapter allows for attaching and removing
appropriate accessories at will.
•Be sure to tighten all bolts and screws to the specified torque.
•Only qualified technicians are permitted to perform the installation steps. Be sure to use
personal protective equipment at all times.
•Be sure to use the accessories as specified in this document only.

4.2 Suspending a Speaker with One Mounting Adapter
Installed
WARNING
Risks imposed by falling parts
•Be sure not to suspend more than one VIDA M 110 / 110 S or VIDA M 220 / 220 S speaker
from a mounting adapter.
•Note that speakers suspended using a single installed mounting adapter must be placed
vertically and must never be mechanically down-tilted.
•Make sure all fittings used are suitable for the task at hand and meet all relevant safety
requirements.
•Ensure that all connections are secured against coming loose and that only authorized,
statically tested and correctly sized supports, mounting equipment, wire ropes, and chains
are used.
•Note that the suspension points on the hall ceiling (i.e. shackles, attachment points, or
chain hoists) must comply with the DGUV regulations 17 (BGV C1) or similar locally appli-
cable accident-control standards. The maximum load must have been certified by an
authorized expert.
•Also follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the product you intend to
suspend the VIDA M mounting adapter from (e.g. a truss). Never attach the mounting
adapter to a product if there is no information on safe use and maximum load.
•Even with two-fall suspension, each chain and motor must be capable of carrying the en-
tire mass! Make sure that the motor chains hang down vertically and are not twisted, and
that the motors are located at the required positions.
•Make sure no persons stand in the danger zone below the speakers during setup and
mounting/dismounting.
•Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning, or securing the systems.
Risk imposed by swinging loads
•Remember that speakers being lifted may swing out!
•Ensure there is sufficient clear space for assembling and suspending the speakers on-site.
•Permit only personnel directly involved with assembly or disassembly to access the working
area. The person in charge must announce all mounting-adapter lifting and lowering ac-
tivities beforehand and make sure all people attending are aware. In this case, all persons
present must leave the swing and lifting range immediately.
Hazard of falling
•Never use the VIDA M mounting adapter for lifting or securing persons or objects other
than the above speakers.
•Implement safeties with not drop distance!
