Scope of delivery and definition of the various threads and drill holes

The CA 106 Cluster Plate is not assembled upon delivery. The following individual parts are included in the scope of delivery.

Additional mounting devices for the CA 106 Cluster Plate

Compatible stand and pole mount adapters are available for the CA 106 Cluster Plate.
Furthermore, the K&F hand wheel M8 x 20 may also be used for mobile use. These hand wheels can, however, only be used in conjunction with the supplied Ø 8,4mm washer with large outer diameter and an M8 spring washer!

Assembly

The CA 106 Cluster Plate enables the user to mount the CA 106 next to each other in an optimally determined angle based on measurements and acoustics. Because the CA 106 is equipped with a rotating horn which enables the speakers’ coverage to be adjusted as necessary, the Cluster Plate offers two different horizontal array possibilities. The positions of the appropriate mounting drill holes are illustrated below.
The supplied self-locking screws should be screwed through the appropriate mounting drill holes on the Cluster Plate into both threads on the top or bottom of the CA 106. The bolts should be screwed in tightly. If the mounted speaker is to have a tilt angle of 15°, then the supplied special eye bolts M8 x 20 should be screwed into the back thread of the plate (see also following page).
Only use the supplied special eye bolts M8 x 20. When used in conjunction with the safety equipment (spring washers and washers), the thread on other commercial eye bolts is too short to ensure safe assembly!
The CA 106 Cluster Plate should always be flown by using at least two eye bolts. When securing the eye bolts, always use additional washers and spring washers to prevent the bolts from loosening.

Operation

Hanging the assembled speakers without vertical tilt:
Hanging the assembled speakers with vertical tilt of 15°:
Always use additional washers and spring washers when securing eye bolts.
Hanging the assembled speakers with vertical tilt of 30°:
Hanging the assembled speakers with vertical tilt of >30°:

Use of mounting devices

The CA 106 Cluster Plate can be equipped with mounting devices such as a pole mount adapters to hang speakers from a pole mount or with a stand adapter for mounting on a stand. Pole mount adapter and stand adapter should be screwed onto the threads on the axis using self-locking screws or a hand wheel M8 x 20, respectively, with spring washer and washer.
When using a pole mount, place the threaded bolt of the pole mount through the drill hole in the middle of the pole mount adapter. Screw the pole mount tightly using a self-locking screw nut M10.
Consult the safety instructions of the mounting equipment and material for indications for proper use and load capacity!
The structure must be additionally secured with a safety cable connected to an external point to prevent falling down!
Secure all screwed connections on the tilt brackets and ring lugs to prevent loosening by using, i.e., self-locking nuts, tooth lock washer, spring washer, etc.
