1 Safety Instructions
The rigging and mounting system may only be suspended by trained special-
ised personnel with proof of their qualifications
The adjustable speaker mount / -mount for CA 106 is only for professional use and
is only to be used to mount Kling & Freitag speakers CA 106. Furthermore, it may only
be used as specified for uses at trade fairs, in theatres, studios, and events, etc. ac-
cording to the stipulations of the BGV C1 or a comparable national standard.
As a general rule the rigging and mounting system must be inspected each time it is
packed or unpacked. If permanently installed the system must be checked for signs of
wear at regular intervals.
In addition an inspection book for the rigging and mounting system should be kept.
This book should document maintenance measures and inspection intervals and con-
tain parts lists.
If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or if
specific faults are found, the rigging and mounting system may no longer be used.
During the course of these checks particular attention should be paid to evidence of
deformation, cracks, damage to threads and corrosion. Mounting devices such as
shackles, chains and wire ropes should also be carefully checked for signs of wear or
deformation.
Any damaged components must be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair
the adjustable speaker mount / -mount by yourself! If the rigging and mounting sys-
tem is damaged, it must be disposed of immediately. Please send the adjustable
speaker mount / -mount back to Kling & Freitag GmbH or bring it to a professional
scrap processing plant. It must by all means be guaranteed that the system can no
longer be used in any way after its disposal.
For assembly only original Kling & Freitag parts may be used. The use of other parts –
in particular parts by other manufacturers – is not authorized.
Please adhere to the maximum admissible load capacity of 9 kg for the adjustable
speaker mount / -mount, and do not exceed the maximum admissible configurations
(1 CA 106 system incl. mounting accessories on one adjustable speaker mount / -
mount).
The adjustable speaker mount / -mount may not be used to lift and secure persons
or objects aside from the above-mentioned speakers.
Please refer also to the operating and safety instructions for the product on which the
adjustable speaker mount is to be suspended (e.g. truss). If no information is available
regarding safety of use and permissible load, then the rigging and mounting system
must not be suspended upon it. Make sure that the rigging points on the ceiling of
the hall (i.e. chain hoists) comply with the accident prevention regulation BGV C1
(presentation and production sites for scenic performances) or the comparable safety
regulations for your country. Furthermore, the total load must be approved by TÜV or
a comparable institution. If in doubt, let local authorities verify this.
Those persons entrusted with the task of erecting the rigging system are responsible
for ensuring the safe assembly and safe operation of the system.
These instructions and all other necessary information regarding safety of operation
must be distributed to all persons using the rigging and mounting system. The system
may not be assembled and put into operation unless these instructions have been
read and understood.
When chain hoists are being used to lift loudspeakers all persons must vacate the area
below and around.
Only those persons directly involved in the assembly and dismantling procedures may
be present while work is in progress. A clear signal must be given on each occasion
before the system is raised, lowered or released from its rigging. All persons must
then remove themselves from the radius of movement.

The safe operation of the rigging and mounting system depends upon various factors
specific to the area of operation. For example, adverse weather conditions such as
wind or rain can impair the safety of the system. These factors must be considered
and evaluated in each case.
If there is the slightest doubt with regard to the safety of the rigging and
mounting system it may not be put into use
Ensure that all connections are secured against coming loose and that only author-
ized, statically tested and correctly sized supports, mounting equipment, wire ropes
and chains are used.
Observe the prescribed safety factors. Follow the safety instructions for speakers and
mounting equipment as well as the respective national rules, norms and safety regula-
tions.
The information given here does not exempt the user from his obligation to observe
valid safety regulations and legal requirements.

4 Installation and Usage Instructions
4 1 Adjustable Speaker Mount
4 1 1 Installation on the Speaker
−Mount the Adjustable Speaker Mount as shown above
−Make sure that all screwed connections are tightened securely. The two M8 coun-
tersunk head screws must be tightened with a torque of 9 Nm.
−The two hand wheels must be screwed on tightly by hand after adjusting the posi-
tion of the speaker!
4 1 2 Suspending the Speaker Mount with Eyebolts
You can mount the adjustable speaker mount with at least two eyebolts M8 x 20 using
permissible and separate lifting accessories which are sufficiently sized.

the bracket. Be aware that the safety effect of the lock washer decreases after sev-
eral uses; it should, therefore, be replaced after five uses.

41 3 Installation and Use of the K&F Stand Adapter
You can use the adjustable speaker mount with the optionally available stand adapter in or-
der to attach the bracket to a stand or a distance rod with a minimum diameter of 35 mm.
The stability of speaker systems mounted on stands and distance rods is contingent up-
on the following stability requirement. These conditions must, therefore, be guaran-teed
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 struc-ture or fastening it using safety straps
−Fasten the stand adapter using K&F hand wheels M8 incl. washers and lock wash-
ers or alternatively with bolts M8 x 20 incl. washers and lock washers, as shown in
illustration.
−Mount the speaker on the bracket, chapter 4.1.1, Installation on the Speaker
−Place the bracket and speaker on the stand / distance rod and
fasten the hand wheel of the stand adapter so that it is tightly
attached to the stand / distance rod.

41 4 Installation and Use of the Pipe Clamp
−Screw the holding spigot into the M 10 thread of the bracket. Secure the spigot
against coming loose with the lock nut M10.
−Push the Pipe clamp as far as it will go over the spigot and secure it with the secur-
ing screw. The securing screw grips into the gap of the holding spigot and prevents
the spigot from releasing itself. The spigot can still be turned with the securing
screw in place in order to align the speaker.
−Mount the Pipe clamp and the installed bracket/speaker on a tube with a diameter
between min. 30 mm and max. 50 mm.
When installing, take measures to prevent falling of the speaker and ensure
that nobody is under the range of a potential fall
−Adjust the speaker as desired. The holding spigot may only be loaded in the vertical
axis.
−Tightly screw both hand wheels of the Pipe clamp when setting the speaker.
−Secure the speaker with a second independent mechanism to prevent falling (safety
wire rope).
−The safety instructions of the equipment carrier and the utilised fastening material
must be read carefully regarding the use and load capacity!
You may also use a ‘TV-spigot’ instead of the holding spigot in combination with the
Pipe clamp for applications like this.

5 Instructions for Ceiling and Wall Installation
Before carrying through ceiling and wall installations, it is essential to consider the load
capacity of walls, ceilings and panelling as well as the stability and type of the construc-
tion. If there is wall panelling, for example, it is then necessary to examine the solidity of
the wall and use the appropriate wall plugs.
When installing on ceilings and walls, only the mounting drill holes which are specified
in the manual may be used.
Make sure to comply with the stipulated tightening torques.
