3. Safety�Instructions
3.1 Mounting�the�Speakers�/�Wall�and�Ceiling�Installation
Warning
The speakers may only be mounted to wall and ceilings by qualified personnel.
The technicians responsible for assembling the speakers on site are responsible for the safe setup and
use of the speakers and guarantee this.
Never use signal cables or power cords for suspending, aligning or securing the systems.
Before carrying through ceiling and wall installations, it is essential to consider the load capacity of walls,
ceilings and panelling as well as the stability and type of the construction. If there is wall panelling, for
example, it is then necessary to examine the solidity of the wall and use the appropriate wall plugs.
Make sure to comply with the stipulated tightening torques.
If not otherwise stated in this manual, only original KLING & FREITAG parts may be used for mounting the
speakers. The use of other parts - in particular parts by other manufacturers - is not permitted in this case.
Ensure that all installation connections comply with the applicable safety guidelines and that the size
and strength are sufficient.
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.
As a basic principle, you must visually inspect all components of the speaker before every use. If there are
signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, then you must replace the parts immediately. The visual inspection
also includes checking the screwed connections on supporting elements.
The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given safety require-
ments and legal regulations.
Fixed�installations�(stationary):
• For fixed installations without safety, always secure the retainer nut and the M10 thread of the
thread reducer to prevent loosening. ou can do so either by using the provided rubber washer or
– with longer threads – glue for securing screws.
Mobile�installations�(non-stationary):
• Always secure the speaker with a second independent safety device to prevent falling.
• To do so, use an approved safety rope with a 5 mm quick link on the safety eyebolt of the
speaker enclosure. You can get an appropriate quick link available as an accessory from Kling &
Freitag.

3.2 Notes�for�Mounting�the�Speakers
Caution
Mount the speakers securely. To avoid injury or damage, always be sure to mount the speakers securely
so that they do not fall. Please note that speakers can move as a result of vibrations. To prevent them
from falling from their mounted position, they must be secured properly. When laying out 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 contingent upon
the following stability requirement:
Stacked�systems�may�not�fall� over�even�if�they�are�inclined�by�10°� in�each�direction.�If�this
requirement�is�not�fulfilled,�then�it�is�necessary�to�take�steps�to�achieve�compliance.�Possible
measures� include� strapping� it� to� an� appropriate� base� structure� or� fastening� it� using� safety
straps.
3.3 Preventing�hearing�damage
Caution
Avoid beeing too close to operating speakers. This equipment is capable of delivering sound pressure
levels in excess of 90 dB/SPL, which may cause permanent hearing damage.

3.4 Protecting�the�Speakers�/�Operating�Safety
Important
In general, audio signals should not be overdriven. This may be caused by mixing consoles, equalizers,
effect equipment, etc. and should be indicated on this equipment. When a power amplifier is overloaded
at the output (clipping), then the amplifier should activate a clipping warning signal. Power amplifiers
can also be overloaded at the input circuit without the amplifier signalling the clipping, i.e. when there is
not sufficient headroom in the input circuit. We, therefore, recommend turning up the power amplifiers
all the way and adjusting the level before the power amplifier in order to avoid overloading the input
circuit. In any case, the signal must be reduced as soon as it sounds unnaturally distorted.
Operations�without�CD�44�Controller:
• To protect the speakers from being destroyed and to avoid fire hazard, they should only be op-
erated with professional power amplifiers with a maximum rated output power of 200W@16Ω
(equiv. 400W@8Ω / equiv. 800W@4Ω).
• If power amplifiers have power ratings lower than 100W@16Ohm, then it is imperative that the
amplifiers have clipping limiters. Alternately, you can also insert a clipping limiter before the am-
plifier.
• To protect the loudspeaker from mechanical damage when high SPL is required a highpassfilter
of 24dB/oct. at 60Hz has to be inserted into the signal chain.
Operations�with�CD�44�Controller:
• For optimal performance and operating safety of the SONA 5 speakers we recommend using
the system controller K&F CD 44.
• When operating the loudspeaker with amplifers without clipping limiter and nominal amplifier
power less than 100W@8Ohm requires to set a Limit Reduction of 3dB for the K&F CD 44 con-
troller. You can find more detailed information about this option in the K&F CD 44 hardware
manual.
• The destruction of speakers and the risk of fire as a result of a very rare power amplifier or
speaker defect may not be avoided by the controller in any case.
For�damage�caused�by
• overloading the speakers
• using power amplifiers with other than the recommended maximum output power
we do not assume warranty and excludes liability for possible consequential damage.
The�following�signals�may�damage�the�speakers:
• clipping power amplifiers
• permanent high-level signals with high frequency and continuous noise from feedback.
• permanently distorted high-level signals.
• noises, which occur when the amplifier is on while equipment is being con-nected, disconnected
or switched on.
Do�not�install�devices�in�any�of�the�following�places:
• where the devices are permanently exposed to direct sunlight.
• where the devices are exposed to high moisture or rain.
• where the devices are exposed to strong vibrations and dust.
Avoid�damage�caused�by�the�speakers'�magnetic�fields
Speakers are permanently surrounded by a magnetic field, even when they are not connected. Therefore,
during transport and placement of the speakers, it is important to ensure that there is a sufficient distance
between the speakers and magnetic data media and computer/video monitors (except flat panels).

4. Wall�and�Ceiling�Installation
Screw the mounting plate (A) through all 4 mount-
ing holes onto the wall or ceiling. Choose fasten-
ers that are suitable for the wall or ceiling material.
After installation, the mounting plate incl. speak-
er must be capable of carrying the 6-fold of its
own weight. Take suitable measures to prevent the
screw connection from loosening itself.
Ensure that the rubber washer (B) is on the bolt.
Screw the thread reducer (C) hand tight onto the
bolt of the mounting plate. Make sure the slit of the
thread reducer is facing the mounting plate. After
assembly the M10 bolt has to protrude from the
thread reducer.
As an alternative to the mounting plate, you can also mount the swivel arm with other suitable 10 mm
bolts.
Warning
If you screw the swivel arm onto another 10 mm bolt that is longer than that of the wall mount, the
rubber safety washer loses its function. In this case, if you were to install the speaker without an additional
safety, you would have to secure the thread of the 10 mm bolt and the thread of the connecting nut so
they do not loosen themselves (i.e. with glue for securing screws).
Loosen the Allen screws with a 2.5 mm Allen head
wrench.
Tip
Loosen one or two of the three Allen screws only.
This way you can avoid having to tighten an Allen
screw that got covered by the swivel arm while you
aligned the speaker.
Loosen this screw(s) just enough so that you can
move the swivel arm with some resistance. This will
simplify the final alignment of the speaker. This will
simplify the final alignment of the speaker.

KLING & FREITAG GMBH © 2009 Revision 3.0 Page 10 of 19
Screw the retainer nut (A) onto thread reducer (B)
using a 19 mm jaw spanner. While doing this, align
the swivel arm.
Now align the loudspeaker arm as desired, and
then re-tighten the Allen screws that you previously
loosened.
Important
Tighten the screws enough so that the speaker re-
liably keeps its position. Using excessive force to
tighten the screws can result in irreparable destruc-
tion of the threads!
