3 System description
The coaxial two-way sound reinforcement systems TS52 and TS52K feature a compact cabinet,
neutral sound colour, strong vertical focusing and high dynamics. These passive systems are
engineeredforhighclassspeech and musicreproductioninsmall and middlesizedauditoria.In
additiontheyremainopticallydiscretebecauseoftheirsmalldimensions.Theabandonmentofhorn
speakersresultsinaneutralityyouonlyknowfromrstclassstudiomonitors.
The components include one 6.5-inch cone woofer and four 1-inch dome tweeters. Both are
effectivelysecuredfromdestructionbyaninternalprotectivecircuit.Thecoaxialarrangementensures
a homogeneous coverage and this also reduces the size of these powerful sound reinforcement
systems.TheTS52Kemploysourreliablecardioidtechnology.Becauseofthestrongverticalfocusing,
distractionsbyceilingandoorreectionsareeffectivelyreduced.Thankstobothofthesetechnical
featurestheoperationofthesespeakersystemsinacousticallydifcultenvironmentsissimplied.
Avarietyofavailablemountingsprovideeasyassemblyforalmosteveryapplication.Specialadapters
enableaverticalcolumnofuptofourTS52orTS52Ktoexiblyadjusttheacousticreachtothe

Refersuspendingthespeakerstotrainedandqualiedpersonnel.
Heedallwarningsandinstructionsofthespeakersandmountingaccessoriesaswellasnational
regulations.
Everyspeakeristobesuspendedwithasecondindependentyingpoint.Thisappliesalsotospeakers
principallysuspendedontwoyingpoints.Theadditionalprotectionsuspensionhastobeattached
inthatwaythatincaseoffailureoftheprimarysuspensionthesecondarysuspensionisholding

6.1.2 Mounting instructions for speakers
Speakersaretobemountedinaway,sothattheycannotfallandcausedamagestoenvironmentor
persons.Thereforestackedspeakersaretobesecuredwithsafetystraps.Connectingcableshave
tobeinstalledsothatnobodytrips.
Stability of stacked systems (including standsand distance rods) is ensured, when the following
requirementisfullled:
Stackedsystemsmaynotfalleveniftheyareinclinedmorethan10°inanydirection.Tofullthis
requirementtakemeasurestoachievecompliance.Onepossibilityisstrappingthestackedspeakers
toasolidbaseorusingsafetystraps.
6.1.3 Accurate alignment of the speakers
Theenvironmentheavilyinuencestheresultofthesoundreinforcement,soabsolutestatements

Midandhighrangesystemsshouldbeinstalledaboveheightofheadoftheaudiencetoprevent
shadowingofsound.Alowerinstallationheightresultsingreaterdifferencesinlevelbetweenfront
andbackseatscomparedtospeakerswithhigherinstallationheight.Pleasenotethatthisisjusta
generalguidelineandthebestpossibleresultmayvaryfromroomtoroom.

beused.
Whenchainhoistsareinoperationensurenobodyisdirectlyunderneathorinthevicinitytotheload.
6.2.1 Visual inspection
Toreduceriskofaccidentsbyfailureordysfunctionofacomponentallsystemsneedregularchecks.
