's M10 mounting points are designed to support only the weight of their own loudspeaker
with suitable, external hardware. This means that each JF

loudspeaker must be supported
independently of any other JF

loudspeaker and any other loads.

FULL-RANGE LOUDSPEAKER

loudspeakers are intended for use in several mounting configurations:
•
Placement in typical loudspeaker locations, such as on the floor, a stage, a subwoofer stack, or
other stable, solid platform.
•
Placement on shelving designed specifically to support the loudspeaker's weight with a design
factor that meets applicable structural codes and regulations.
•
Pole-mounted on an NTS250 Subwoofer or a standard loudspeaker stand using the integral
pole cup. The pole cup is designed to accommodate 1-3/8 inch diameter poles.
•
Suspension using the optional, fly-track rigging accessory, EAW accessory double-
stud fittings, and user-supplied, external, mounting/rigging fittings
that are suitable for supporting the loudspeaker from
structure.
•
Wall or ceiling mounted using the integral M10
mounting points on the enclosure bottom and a user-
supplied Omnimount™ 120.0 Series (Omnimount 60.0
Series for KF200nt) or similar mounting bracket.
5.2.2
STAGE MONITOR
As a stage monitor, the JF
NT
/KF
NT
full-range loudspeaker is designed to lay on one of its angled
sides on the floor. When paired with the adjustable leg accessory,
the aiming angle can be adjusted towards the performer. Setting
the MODE switch to Monitor will improve gain before feedback.
Because of the enclosure's symmetrical shape, you can place the
loudspeakers in a matched left/right pair with both HF horns
inward or outward with respect to the performer.

loudspeakers can be arrayed in various ways. However, arraying loudspeakers requires
special consideration for the overall array's mounting angle, projection pattern, rigging/mounting
method, and for system tuning adjustments. These issues can be significantly more complex than
when the loudspeakers are used singly. The recommendations in this section may not be suitable
for particular applications or for the desired sonic results.
