4. Mounting and Usage
1. Ancra Flying Point
on speaker enclosure Threaded stud (3-part)
2. Place the threaded bolt (part 1) of the flying stud in
the flying point. Turn the threaded bolt so that the
eye of the stud slides under the guides on the flying
point.
3. Place the washer of the threaded stud (part 2) over
the threaded bolt so that the washer fits into the
Ancra flying point.
4. Put the cradle with the speaker attachment drill holes
onto the threaded bolts (select drill hole from hole radius,
depending on the horizontal arrangement of the speak-
ers, see following pages). The front side of the speakers
must face the front of the cradle (Denition Chapter 3).
Subsequently, screw the self-locking tooth-lock nuts with
a tightening torque of 30 Nm into the threaded bolts.
If necessary, retighten the screws after some time has
passed. Proceed correspondingly with the Cradle ZU.
5. Following assembly, control whether the stud is
sitting correctly and is tightly anchored to the
enclosure.

5. Safety Instruction
The Cradle (ZU) is sufciently sized for the designated use. It may only be used for purpos-
es and in the manner as described in this manual. If these guidelines are not observed, the
load capability of the cradle or the speaker enclosure may be exceeded. Only the delivered
parts should be used for assembly. Using other parts – especially those from other manu-
facturers – is not permissible.
The Cradle must be assembled so that the shorter of the parallel sides of the trapeze frame
faces the front of the speaker. See Chapter 3.
Cradle ZU must be assembled so the tapered off side of the ying rail faces the front of the
speaker. See Chapter 3.
The Cradle serves as a receptacle for two speakers, the Cradle ZU is intended just for one
speaker! Please note that the safe working load (SWL) may not be exceeded (information
about the working load: see last page).
A speaker or a maximum of a second cradle with two speakers may only be mounted from
a Cradle ZU from the mounting drill holes for suspending a further cradle (denition Chap-
ter 3).
Only use Kling & Freitag original parts.
The cradles are not to be used to mount any other loads or in combination with
other speaker systems aside from those described here!
Please observe the other delivered safety instructions for speakers and assembly
equipment.
6. Correct Alignment of the Speakers
6.1 Horizontal Speaker Alignment on K&F Cradle
The K&F Cradle offers the possibility to array various speakers based on usage in an opti-
mal horizontal angle to one another. In order to do so, a certain drill hole in the radius is
selected.
The recommended adjustment angle for each speaker can be taken from the following ta-
ble. Further information can be found in the corresponding speaker manuals.
The selection of the drill holes and the corresponding adjustment angle can be seen on the
graphics on the next page.
Model Coverage angles Recommended horizontal angle

6.1.1 Selecting the Drill Hole on the Radius for different Angles
In Chapter 6.1, we recommend which horizontal adjustment angle should be select-
ed for each of the speaker types. Based on the following graphs, you can see which drill
hole needs to be selected in the hole radius in order to achieve this adjustment angle
.

6.2 Suspension with different Tilt Angles
The selection of the drill hole in the ying rail to suspend the cradle determines the vertical
tilt angle of the speaker. The various tilt angles can be found on the tables listed on the fol-
lowing pages (dependent upon the horizontal adjustment and the speaker type).
Please note that mounting a second Cradle or a Cradle ZU under the speaker inuences
the vertical tilt angle. In this case, the desired tilt angle must be adjusted by selecting an-
other drill hole in the ying rail.
To ensure that the cradle does not fall down, when mounting, be sure to secure it from a
second independent source.
Steel chains or ropes of steel wire are to be used for mounting and securing. These devic-
es must be designed to carry the load, and dynamic loads (i.e. falling down) must be taken
into consideration so that they are sufciently sized. Detailed instructions for rigging hard-
ware such as ropes, chains and shackles can be found in our Safety and Assembly Manu-
al.
