SL Top and Sub Bracket Kit
The SL TOP BRACKET KIT consists of a pre-drilled oblong steel plate that has apertures with pre-fixed points to allow the securing of the SL412 enclosure to multiple stacked SL2.15/SL6.10 Bass enclosures by either inserting 2 x M10 Hex bolts, (KVV 987 300) or D6 quick release pins, (KVV 987 312), through the plate and into each M10 mounting point on each side for each enclosure, (6mm Allen key included). Using the alternate apertures in the plate, it is possible to create a downward tilt/angle for the SL412 enclosure. Included in the kit is a steel wall-securing arm which attaches to the top edge of the upper SL2.15/SL6.10 Bass enclosure, by inserting one M10 Hex bolt through the arm and into the M10 mounting point.
The extended arm is then attached to a wall or beam structure for stability of the vertical stack employed. The SL SUB BRACKET KIT consists of a pre-drilled oblong steel plate that has four corner apertures to allow the secure vertical stacking and fixing of multiple SL2.15/SL6.10 subwoofers, by inserting 2 x M10 Hexbolts through the plate and into each M10 mounting point on each side for each enclosure, (6mm- Allen key included). Included in the kit is a steel wall-securing arm which attaches to the top edge of the upper SL2.15/SL6.10 Bass enclosure by inserting one M10 Hex bolt through the arm and into the M10 mounting point. The extended arm is then attached to a wall or beam structure for stability of the vertical stack employed. The SL412 and SL2.15/SL6.10 come complete with pre-loaded M10 mounting points and Bolts with a total of 20 fixing points at different locations of the enclosure.

SL Ground Stack Kit
SL GROUND STACK Kit (KVV 987 320)
The SL Ground Stack consists of a two supporting legs, connecting to a metal strip, that has apertures with fixed points to allow the securing of the multiple stacked SL2.15/SL6.10 Bass enclosures with an SL412 and to prevent tipping when using the SL system stacked, away from the wall, or stacked on a VHD2.21 enclosure. Assemble the Ground Stack by either inserting two supporting legs and fixing with the metal strip, using two knobs with screws as shown on the diagram. Before it is possible to place the SL2.15/SL6.10 speaker into a Ground Stack, it is necessary to replace four M10 screws with the M10 screws with hole (included with SL Ground Stack) using the included Allen key. Settle the SL2.15/SL6.10 into the Ground Stack and secure it using four Quick-lock-pins.
SL Ground Stack allows stacking:
- 1x SL2.15/SL6.10, 1x SL412
- 2x SL2.15/SL6.10, 1x SL412
- 1x VHD2.21, 1x SL2.15/SL6.10, 1x SL412
- 1x VHD2.21, 2x SL2.15/SL6.10, 1x SL412
- 2x VHD2.21, 2x SL2.15/SL6.10, 1x SL412
SL412 Flybar
Suspension
The SL412 Flybar is a dedicated system to facilitate fast and safe suspension
of a single SL412 or SL2.15/SL6.10 unit, for touring and production and has a
variable angle of tilt from 0 -15 degrees.
NOTE The FLYBAR is not certified to allow any suspension of additional enclosures, or cabinet from cabinet. The system consists of individual parts that form the basis of attaching the SL module to the FLYBAR, these are:
- FLYBAR YOKE
- 2x M10 HEX SCREWTHREADS WITH INTEGRAL APRETURE
- 2x D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS
- 2x HANDSCREW LOCKS
The SL FLYBAR is a fixed steel folded edge bar with extended arms at each end. The main horizontal bar has multiple apertures across the top plate to allow flexible attachments such as clamps, Eye-bolts and threads to facilitate connection to hoists, truss etc. To secure the FLYBAR to the SL unit, there are two fixing points on each extended arm, one lower point to allow the attachment to the SL handle unit via use of a handscrew and one upper point to allow attachment via quick-lock pins through four pre-selected angle-apertures
SL412 Vertical Bracket
The SL412 Vertical Bracket is a complete system to allow the safe suspension of a *single SL412 or SL2.15/SL6.10 Unit.
NOTE: The SL412 Vertical Bracket is not certified to allow any suspension
of any additional enclosures*
The system consists of individual parts that form the basis of attaching a
loudspeaker module to the bracket, these are:
- BRACKET YOKE
- 4x M10 HEX SCREWTHREADS WITH INTEGRAL APERTURE
- 4x D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS
The SL412 Vertical bracket is a pre-fixed steel bar with folded edges and short extension arms at each end. The long bar has prefixed apertures along the top plate to allow attachments such as clamps, Eye-bolts and threads to facilitate connection to hoists, truss etc. On each extended arm, there is a single aperture which allows the fixing of the bracket to the SL412 and there is a secondary semi-circle of a total of ** 10 apertures which allow a pre- settable fixed angle of suspension in the tilt orientation.
NOTE: The SL412 Vertical bracket has a front and back, to make sure it is used in the correct orientation, identify that the semi-circle of aperture fixings are facing to the rear of the enclosure**
SL412 Vertical Bracket · Instructions · Single point flying
The SL412 comes complete with pre-loaded M10 mounting points and Bolts with a total of 20 fixing points at different locations of the enclosure. It is important to locate the top two mounting bolts which are at the top end of each side of the enclosure, remove these and replace with the 4 x M10 HEX SCREWTHREADS WITH INTEGRAL APERTURE that come supplied with the SL412 Vertical Bracket system. Place the complete SL412 Vertical Bracket over the top of the SL412 so that the extension arms are parallel to the sides of the enclosure and place a single D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN through the single hole in the arm and then into the aperture of the two which is nearest to the front edge of the SL412 enclosure. The SL412 Vertical Bracket is now attached safely to the enclosure. To achieve the correct angle of tilt and hang, now select an aperture from one of the 10 holes within the semi-circular row on each arm and enter a second D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN through the arm on each side into the second aperture which is nearest to the rear edge of the SL412 enclosure. Now the whole assembly is ready to be suspended.
Single point flying
If the SL412 is suspended from a single point, the tilt angle varies with the
location of the center of gravity. For the resulting tilt angle, please see SL
Flybar picture with marked angles. Use this flybar for fixed installations
only.
