2.4 Mounting

Attach the speaker enclosure to a pick point on
the Aeroquip track using a starter cable
comprising a snap link, a cable with the required
length, and a stud. One track is located on the
top of the housing for arraying the enclosure
vertically, and one is on the side for arraying the
enclosure horizontally.

Secure the speaker to prevent it from falling. To
this end, insert an HK AUDIO

®

EB 10 eyebolt into

the recessed thread on the rear of the CT 112 or
CT 115. Attach the arrest wire to the eyebolt and
transom.

Ensure the pick points are able to handle the
given load (a CT 112 with a starter cable weighs
approx. 27 kg; a CT 115 with a starter cable weighs
approx. 37 kg).

The position of the stud in the Aeroquip track
determines the cabinet’s angle of tilt. Since the
length of the cables used to attach the cabinets to
the rigging point (the ceiling of the venue, a
transom, a cross beam, etc.) will vary according
to the given venue’s mounting options, you must
adjust the length of the cables accordingly. If the
length of the HK AUDIO

®

starter cable does not

suffice, you can have cables made in the required
length by any certified cable manufacturer using
the following parts.

Snap link: Snap link with safety lock gate, 1 ton
load-carrying capacity, quality grade 8 (for
example: SOCS 6-8)
Stud: Aeroquip 5013 Series L Double Stud Fitting
(ISO 9788)
