3 Safety Instructions
WARNING
Risks imposed by falling or overturning parts
•Be sure to install, suspend, fasten, and use Kling & Freitag speaker accessories only using
the designated fixtures as specified in this document.
•Be sure to use only the screws supplied with the speaker for mounting accessories. The
screws are specifically designed for accessory mounting. Be sure to use self-locking screws
no more than five times. Using them more often may result in screws loosening in opera-
tion. If in doubt, use new screws. Never use other types of screws.
•During installation, be sure to cordon off the installation site to prevent any risks caused
by falling parts.
Safety Instructions for Suspending the Speakers
Suspended loads pose a safety risk.
•All installation works including suspension as well as ceiling mount to be performed by
qualified event technicians or appropriately trained persons.
•Only qualified technicians are permitted to perform the installation steps. Be sure to use
personal protective equipment at all times.
•Be sure to have all works carried out by untrained hands checked and approved by a qual-
ified expert.
•The technicians installing the speaker on site are responsible for and guarantee safe setup
and use.
•Installing and dismounting the speaker system requires two persons or a suitable lift for
carrying and handling.
•Before installing, check the stability, strength, and materials of walls, ceilings, and board-
ing. For example, always use appropriate wall anchors for panels and check for sufficient
strength.
•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.
•Be sure to tighten all bolts and screws to the specified torque.
•Unless otherwise stated, use only KLING & FREITAG original parts for mounting the speak-
ers. Never use other parts (in particular, parts not made by KLING & FREITAG).
•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.
•Be sure to always visually inspect all safety-related speaker and accessory components be-
fore use. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, etc., replace the affected parts
immediately. Visual inspection also includes checking all screwed connections of support-
ing components.
•The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given
safety requirements and legal regulations.

4.3 Ceiling mounting
WARNING
Risks imposed by falling parts
•Before installation, consider the load-bearing capacity, strength, and structure of ceilings
and formwork. Be sure to use suitable anchors and check for required strength.
•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.
1. Prepare ceiling attachment. Be
sure to consider the ceiling spe-
cifics as well as the properties of
the selected fasteners. For bore
spacing, see »Dimensions« on
page 7.
2. Place the preassembled speaker
on a suitable lift. To facilitate at-
tachment, we recommend using
a lift with an accessible platform.
3. Lift the speaker to the required
height, then mount it to the des-
ignated position.

then retighten the fixing screws
on the mounting plates.

5 Maintenance
•Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. An
additional annual inspection is typically required to be performed by a technical expert.
Moreover, a legally certified or official authority must perform a detailed inspection every
four years.
•Therefore, be sure to maintain an inspection log. Enter the values determined for each
speaker and accessory during the periodic checks into this log. This way, relevant data are
always at hand in case of inspection. This inspection log book shall be updated with the
inspection steps, test intervals and parts lists.
•If necessary, use multifunction oil for care.
6 Transportation and Storage
This product is protected against the effects of temporary humidity and moisture, etc. Never-
theless, be sure to store, transport, and use it in dry
Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so any resid-
ual moisture can escape from the equipment.
In addition, make sure that the prpduct is protected from mechanical strains in order to prevent
damage.
To protect the speaker from the above impacts, we recommend using suitable transport and
storage equipment.
7Disposal
Dispose of this product according to local ordinance regulations.
•Perform a visual inspection before each installation.
•Visually inspect the entire setup every six months.
•When performing those checks, particularly look for deformations, cracks, dents, damage
to threads, and corrosion. Also check slings and lifts (e.g. shackles, chains, and steel ropes)
carefully for wear and deformation.
WARNING
Risk of falling parts due to undetected damage
•The test must be performed by a qualified person only.
•If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or defects
are found, don’t use the speaker any longer. Contact your retailer.
•Be sure to use self-locking screws no more than five times. Using them more often may
result in screws loosening in operation. If in doubt, use new screws. Never use other types
of screws.
•All repair work must be performed by Kling & Freitag after evaluation carried out by
