KF700 Series caster pallets are constructed of 15 mm Baltic birch plywood with four
mounted wheel-casters. The caster pallet shares a common footprint with KF700F
enclosures. The pallet incorporates a central raised platform that keys into a recess on the
bottom of any enclosure. Magnets on the platform register to steel plates in the recess,
attaching the pallet to the enclosure. The caster pallet has three handles for easy transport
when not connected to a KF700 Series enclosure.
5.3.2 GROUND
STACKING
All KF700(F) Series enclosures are equipped with a UHMW (Ultra High Molecular
Weight) plastic stacking pad that keys into the recess in the bottom of another enclosure
when stacked. This pad provides for a more secure stack. EAW recommends that fly hard-
ware be used to provide additional stability. A crossed configuration of the cable links
allows for minimal slack, improving safety and stability. Stacked clusters should
also be strapped together to provide even greater stability.
In many venues, most notably theaters that do not permit flown arrays, inverted KF755s
will be used to provide upfill when stacked. This scenario forces enclosures to touch top-
to-top and, therefore, pad-to-pad. In order to prevent slippage and provide a more secure
stack, EAW has created a stacking plate (EAW P/N 980031)constructed of painted birch
plywood. The stacking plate shares the KF700 Series footprint and provides a central
cutout that locks into pads on both adjoining enclosures.
5.3.3 SUSPENSION
HARDWARE
WARNING:
See Section 1.3 for information regarding rigging and suspending KF700
Series loudspeakers.
KF700(P and P-WP) Series installation versions utilize internal steel angles to provide a
total of sixteen (16) 3/8”-16 threaded mounting points (four each on the top, bottom
and sides). The enclosures ship with undercut 3/8-16 hardware that sits flush with the
enclosure walls. Replacement of factory-installed hardware with Grade 8 forged shoulder
eyebolts provides appropriate suspension points on an enclosure. The eyebolt manufac-
turer should be consulted for eyebolt working load limit specifications.
CAUTION:
All four points on any given side should be utilized when hanging an
enclosure. Failure to use all four points can result in damage to the equipment, personal
injury, or death.
KF700(F) Series touring versions are equipped with two-position industry standard fly-
tracks located in the front and rear corners. The aircraft grade aluminum track is attached
to the Baltic birch enclosure via internal angled steel that runs the full height of the enclo-
sure. This construction is such that the enclosure bears no weight when flown. Each
KF700(F) Series touring version loudspeaker is shipped with four cable links described
above. These can be used for attaching the enclosures to fly bars as well as for attaching
vertically adjacent enclosures to each other. Enclosures should be connected using all
four available points (two front and two back) as depicted in the illustration.
Available fly bar manufacturer information can be obtained by contacting EAW.
