Mounting and Usage

  1. Ancra Flying Point on speaker enclosure
    Mounting

  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 speakers, see following pages). The front side of the speakers must face the front of the cradle (Definition 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.

Safety Instruction

Warning
The Cradle (ZU) is sufficiently sized for the designated use. It may only be used for purposes 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 manufacturers – 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 flying 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 (definition Chapter 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.

Correct Alignment of the Speakers

Horizontal Speaker Alignment on K &F Cradle
The K&F Cradle offers the possibility to array various speakers based on usage in an optimal 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 table. 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
CA 1201 standard (90°h x 60°v) 40°-60°
rotated horn (60°h x 90°v) 35°-40°
CA 1215-6 standard (65°h x 50°v) 35°-40°
rotated horn (50°h x 65°v) 30°
CA 1215-9 standard (90°h x 50°v) 40°-60°
rotated horn (50°h x 90°v) 30°
CA 1215-6 standard (65°h x 50°v) 35°-40°
rotated horn (50°h x 65°v) 30°
CA 1215-9 standard (90°h x 50°v) 40°-60°
rotated horn (50°h x 90°v) 30°

Selecting the Drill Hole on the Radius for different Angles
In Chapter 6.1, we recommend which horizontal adjustment angle should be selected 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

Suspension with different Tilt Angles
The selection of the drill hole in the flying 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 following pages (dependent upon the horizontal adjustment and the speaker type). Please note that mounting a second Cradle or a Cradle ZU under the speaker influences the vertical tilt angle. In this case, the desired tilt angle must be adjusted by selecting another drill hole in the flying 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 devices must be designed to carry the load, and dynamic loads (i.e. falling down) must be taken into consideration so that they are sufficiently sized. Detailed instructions for rigging hardware such as ropes, chains and shackles can be found in our Safety and Assembly Manual.
