User's Manual CA 106 1. 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 on page 10 ( Mounting Instructions for Loudspeakers ).
User's Manual CA 106 The following signals may damage the speakers − permanent high-pitched signals with high frequency and continuous noise from feedback. − permanently distorted signals with high power . − noises, which occur when the amplifier is on while equipment is being con- Important nected, disconnected or switched on .
Its discreet design also makes the CA 106 suitable for fixed installations. Special versions: − CA 106-100V: Version with 100V / 50 VA / 100 VA / 150VA toroidal transformer − CA 106 ‘Outdoor Installation' − CA 106 ‘Outdoor 'Mobile' −...
4.2 Connecting Diagram of the 100V Speaker Inputs The 100 V transformer for the CA 106 has 3 taps. These enable the speaker to be oper- ated at 50 VA, 100 VA or 150 VA. Which tap is connected to which pin can be seen below.
6. Coverage Angles of the CA 106 Speaker The CA 106 can be operated in a vertical or horizontal (i.e. as a stage monitor) posi- tion. The coverage pattern of the speaker can be adapted to special needs by a 90°...
The following graphics will assist in making a rough estimate as to the distance range of the CA 106. 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.
User's Manual CA 106 7.2 Arrayed Speaker Systems (Cluster) If the loudspeakers are operated through the optional K&F C2 System Controller, we recommend turning on the ‘Top Low Cut’ switch for clustered operation. Thus the fre- quency response for this application can be optimised (see also K&F C2 User's Manual).
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 106 systems. − We recommend the use of high-quality speaker cables provided by KLING & FREITAG.
Avoiding Ground Loops Avoiding Ground Loops If there is a loud humming or buzzing after the CA 106 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"...
9. Configurations and Connecting Diagrams 9.1 Operating the Systems without C2 Controller The CA 106 systems can be used alone or in conjunction with a K&F subwoofer with integrated crossover (e.g. SW 112-XO / SW 115D-XO / SW 115E - XO or SW 118E-XO).
Switch on the subwoofer’s connecting terminal When using the CA 106 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"...
User's Manual CA 106 9.2 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 function.

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 106 system and check that the correct signal is coming out of the CA 106 system.
