Placement
The K&F SCENA 12 loudspeaker features two different foot types at the bottom and on the
right side panel.
The right-hand side features plastic sliding (1). These are mostly suitable for temporarily
putting the speaker down during transport. When operating the speaker in a vertical
position (i.e. placed on the sliding blocks), it may start moving due to vibration, so be sure to
secure it appropriately.
When using the speaker as a stage wedge, place it horizontally on the non-slipping rubber
feet at the bottom. These compensate vibrations in operation and will keep the speaker in its
position.

Safety Notes When Using a Stand
Warning
Place the stand securely on a level surface.
Stands require additional safeguard in the following and similar cases:
•
The supporting surface does not allow for secure placement.
•
The stability may be affected by the system height.
•
Winds may occur.
•
Persons may run into the system, causing it to fall down.
Suitable measures for securing stands include, for example:
•
Weighting the stand shoes down
•
Guying to stable objects
•
Blocking access to the standing area
•
Assigning security staff
Specific actions might become necessary to prevent threatening audience behavior.
Never place stands on emergency escape routes. Before placing speaker-stands on traffic
routes, make sure the path width is sufficient and all required blocking and marking actions
have been taken.
Remember that placing speakers onto or removing them from speaker-stands poses specific
risks. Be sure to use means suitable for the purpose (for example, platforms).
Warning
Before mounting, make sure the ground is level and will not give way to the speaker system
weight. Use only highly stable speaker stands designed for handling the weight of the K&F
SCENA 12 loudspeaker. Also keep in mind that many stands are not designed to withstand
lateral forces caused by gusts or bumps and might easily fall over. Similarly, the K&F SCENA
12 speaker-stand adapter is not designed for withstanding high lateral forces or shocks.
