    User’s Manual CA 1001 General Safety Instructions for Using Speakers Mounting the speakers To prevent injury, this equipment must be securely placed on the floor or secured to the wall according to the mounting instructions. Speakers, which are stacked, must be se- cured with securing straps.
  • Page 6: Product Description And Versions

    70% permeability, mounted with 4 screws, exchangeable black acoustic foam front covering. The CA 1001, with its compact construction, its light weight and high performance capability is eminently suitable for mobile use in the standard version. Its discreet de- sign also makes the CA 1001 suitable for fixed installations.
  • Page 7: Instructions For Suspending The Speakers

    We recommend using the M8 threads only for mounting stand adapters and TV-spigot adapters. The M10 threads should be used for mounting the CA 1001 tilt brackets only. Eyebolts can be attached to the M8 and M10 threads in order to suspend the speakers, if they are dimensioned sufficiently (safety factor 12) and are used as described by the manufacturer.

    The following graphics will assist in making a rough estimate as to the distance range of the CA 1001. 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.
  • Page 10: Arrayed Speaker Systems (Cluster)

    *If several 90° systems are clustered, unwanted interference effects may appear. As a result, we do not generally recommend clustered configurations of CA 1001 systems. If wide angles are to be covered, we recommend the use of several systems with ro- tated horns in one cluster.

    The speaker is equipped with two parallel Speakon connectors. Make sure that all units are switched off and all controls are turned down before con- necting your CA 1001 systems. − We recommend the use of high-quality speaker cables provided by KLING & FREITAG.

    6.2.2 Avoiding Ground Loops If there is a loud humming or buzzing after the CA 1001 System has been connected, then check that a "ground loop" has not been built into the system. Some power am- plifiers and system controllers are equipped with a "Ground Lift" switch. Set these swit- ches to the "Lift"...
  • Page 14: Configurations And Connecting Diagrams

    Configurations and Connecting Diagrams Operating the Systems without C2 Controller The CA 1001 systems can be used alone or in conjunction with a K&F subwoofer with integrated crossover (e.g. SW 112-XO / SW 115D-XO or SW 118E-XO). In this mode of operation the integrated crossover limits the subwoofer's frequency range.
  • Page 15: Full-Range Mode & Subwoofer With Crossover (Xo)

    Connecting Terminal 1 Connecting Terminal 2 When using the CA 1001 systems in a cluster (speakers in close proximity), reduce the frequencies below 300 Hz by 3-4 dB. (The K&F C2 Controller is equipped with a special filter for this purpose, which can be activated by pressing the "Top Low Cut" switch.
  • Page 16: Operations With C2 Controller

    User’s Manual CA 1001 Operations with C2 Controller By using carefully adjusted filters (EQ) on special system cards for the CA systems, the C2 Controller optimises feedback prevention and the frequency response of the spea- kers. The controller provides optional bass boost in full-range mode, optimisation for cluster operation (Top Low Cut switch), high boost and sub-mono functions.
  • Page 17: Full-Range Mode With K&F C2 Controller

    When using CA 1001 systems in a cluster (speakers in close proximity) or as a stage monitor, activate the "Top Low Cut" switch on the C2 Controller.

    Now put a low level signal into the system and check for the correct function of the system. In doing so, all amplifier input controls need to be turned off again. Now turn on the control for the left CA 1001 system and check that the correct signal is coming out of the CA 1001 system.
