Rigging procedures
Preparing the enclosures
Enclosures must be equipped with rigging plates before assembling them. It is recommended to use the rigging report
from Soundvision to prepare the enclosures. Identify which inserts (A or B) will be used on each Kara IIi depending on the
inter-element angles.
Risk of acoustic leaks
Do not remove the placeholder screws from the bottom rear inserts (A or B) that are not used.

Tightening screws
Do not fully tighten the screws unless instructed to do so.
After securing an enclosure to another enclosure, tighten all the screws on the supporting enclosure. Apply a torque of
5 N.m.
Stacking enclosures
When stacking two enclosures, the top enclosure must be slightly lifted to align the inserts with the rigging plate holes.
Use an accessory like a wedge or a lever to adjust the height of the enclosure. Be careful not to scratch the paint.
Congurations with upside-down Kara IIi
Use Kara IIi upside-down in the following congurations:
• Mounting a Kara IIi array with KARAIIi-TILTBRACKET
• Stacking Kara IIi on top of SB18 IIi with KARAIIi-TILT
For aesthetic purposes, the front grills can be removed and exchanged when the enclosures are assembled. Refer to
