10. 10. 10. 10. Mounting Instructions for Speakers
Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the
speakers securely so that they do not fall. Speakers, which are stacked, must be secured
with securing straps. When laying the connecting cables, make sure that nobody can trip.
The stability of stacked systems (also valid for the use of stands and distance rods!) is con-
tingent upon the following stability requirement. These conditions must, therefore, be
guaranteed by the user:
Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If Stacked systems may not fall over even if they are inclined by 10° in each direction. If

To simulate the correct alignment of the speakers beforehand, there are various programs such as ‘Ease’ or
‘Ulysses’. The Kling & Freitag speaker system data is available for download on our website www.kling-
freitag.de.
The following graphics will assist in making a rough estimate as to the distance range of full-range systems.
The graphics only take into consideration the sum of the direct sound and not the influence of the room.
Because of this there can, in some cases, be noticeable deviation.
