ARRAY ASSEMBLY

1.  Begin array assembly on ground level by utilizing the four Hang Points 

(Diagram 1) on the cabinet top (speaker horizontally placed) to attach four 

forged shoulder eye bolts, 3/8” 16 thread.

2.  Apply a drop of thread locking adhesive to the thread ends of the eyebolts, 

hand tighten into inserts in cabinet then securely tighten eyebolts by turning 

an additional half turn. 

3.  Attach second speaker cabinet (and third, fourth, fifth and sixth if used) 

under the cabinet having eyebolts inserted into its top by placing first 

cabinet vertically on floor and positioning second cabinet vertically on floor, 

facing the same direction, next to it. (Diagram 2)

4.  Place one large side plate from the KI-398-MMA Large Plate Mounting  

Kit on top of the edges of the two speakers vertically positioned close  

to each other as shown in Diagram 2.

5.  The KI-398-MMA Large Plate Mounting Kit is pre-drilled with eight mounting 

holes. The back end of the plate has three mounting holes at the top and 

three additional at the bottom. Choose the appropriate mounting hole at 

both ends to achieve the desired array angle. (Diagram 3)

6. Using the four 3/8” 16 threaded bolts and four 3/8” washers included with the 

mounting kit, line up the predetermined four of eight mounting plate holes with 

the four corresponding threaded inserts between the two speaker cabinets.

7. Screw the four bolts with washers through the mounting plate into the 

corresponding threaded inserts on the two speakers and tighten down.

8.  Position the third speaker vertically next to second speaker  

(if assembling a three speaker array) in the same manner the second speaker 

was vertically positioned to the first, facing the same direction

9.  Using a second large side plate and four corresponding 3/8” 16 threaded 

bolts from the mounting kit, position the plate on the edge of the second and 

third speakers as shown in Diagram 2.

10. Screw the four bolts with washers through the large side plate into the 

corresponding threaded inserts on the two speakers and tighten. Continue 

same procedure for fourth, fifth and sixth speakers if assembling a four, five 

or six speaker array.

11. With one side of the speaker array now tightly fastened together,  

with two to four capable people, gently turn over the entire array  

on its opposite side.

12. Using large plates and corresponding bolts and washers from the mounting 

kit, bolt down plates in the same areas of the speakers now on their opposite 

sides. Continue same procedure for fourth, fifth and sixth speakers if 

assembling a four, five or six speaker array.

N

OTE: Make sure large side plates are securely attached to each speaker 

on both sides of the array using both the included bolts and washers in the 

Klipsch KI-398-MMA Large Plate Mounting Kits. Do so before the array is 

lifted/hoisted into position.
