Product Description

The K&F SPECTRA 212i wall-bracket set includes various components that can be combined in different ways to allow for mounting or suspending K&F SPECTRA 212i speakers to/from walls or ceilings.
The wall-bracket set includes the following components:

• Wall/Ceiling Bracket
• Tilt Adapter
• Swivel Adapter

The wall/ceiling bracket is also separately available.

Wall/Ceiling Bracket
The wall/ceiling bracket allows for stationary installation of single speakers to walls or ceilings with adjustable directivity. The speaker must be placed vertically for wall mounting. Ceiling installation can be done right to the ceiling or in a flying configuration. Ceiling or flying installations can only be made horizon-tally.

Tilt Adapter
You can use the tilt adapter in combination with the wall/ceiling bracket to mount the speaker vertically to a wall and tilt it in 5-degree increments from –5° to –30°.

Swivel Adapter
To tilt the speaker and swivel it sideways at the same time, use the swivel adapter. It allows for swiveling a tilted speaker while keeping the pitch axis in parallel to the floor or ceiling. Also, using a swivel adapter is also visually more appealing compare to swiveling on a wall/ceiling brack-et.

Intended Use
The wall-bracket set (including the optional tilt adapter and wall/ceiling bracket) is designed for use with K&F SPECTRA 212i speakers only. No other use is permitted. For Suspended installation (ceiling/flying) using the wall/ceiling bracket, the speaker must be used horizontally. Speaker stands are not permitted. Wall installation must be carried out vertically when using the tilting adapter and/or the wall/ceiling bracket.
Also, be sure to use accessories to the SPECTRA 212i speaker system for stationary indoor installations only. The system is not designed for repeated assembly, reconfiguration, disassembly, or transport.
Any use not described in this User’s Guide is not an intended use.
Unauthorized changes to the product are not permitted.

Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions for Suspending the Speakers
Suspended loads pose a safety risk.

• Have all installation works including suspension as well as wall or ceiling mount 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 qualified expert.
• The technicians installing the speaker on site are responsible for and guarantee safe setup and use.
• Installing and dismounting the speaker system requires at least two persons and a suitable lift for carrying and handling.
• Before installing, check the stability, strength, and materials of walls, ceilings, and boarding. 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 applicable 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 speakers. 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 supporting components.

Check for correct keyhole alignment.
Tighten the screws of the pivot points on the wall/ceiling mount and the speaker to allow for easier wall mounting.

Wall Mounting
Be sure to account for the following extraction and shear forces:

• Extraction force: 3.0 kN
• Shear force: 1.9 kN

The anchors must withstand those forces permanently. The specified values are actual loads; depending on the application at hand and the anchor properties, you may have to consider safety margins.
For use with the Allen key holes, the anchor heads must not exceed a 24-mm diameter.

Risks imposed by falling or overturning parts
Be sure to select appropriate fixings with regard to the wall specifics.
Note that the wall anchors must be able to temporarily carry the speaker weight even while they still protrude approx. 25 mm from the wall.
When the installation is complete, the wall anchors will still protrude approx. 20 mm from the wall. Be sure to choose wall anchors that are suitable to permanently bear the load in that position.

1. Install three wall anchors vertically with 132 mm spacing each.

2. Leave approx. 25 mm clearance between the wall and the anchor head.

3. Inserting the swivel-adapter inlay will provide for a clearance of approx. 10 mm between the inlay and the anchor head.

4. Place the preassembled speaker unit on a suitable lift.
   To facilitate attachment, we recommend using a lift with an accessible platform.

5. Lift the speaker to the required height.

6. Center the keyholes in front of the respective anchor heads.

7. Lower the speaker.

8. Make sure the anchor points have been properly inserted and the anchor heads stand out from the holes.

9. Tighten the wall anchor.

10.  Slightly loosen the upper and lower screaws of the swivel adapter.

11. Align the speaker.

12. Hand-tighten all screws.

Maintenance

• 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.

Risks imposed by undetected damages

• The inspection must be carried out by a qualified expert.
• 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 engineering.
• 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.
