Application
The KLA Series can be configured in an array with combinations of loudspeakers, refer to
"KLA Maximum
Suspended Load" on page 4
. Using SOLO™ (Single-Operator Logistics), box-to-box attachment of the KLA12
is simple, self-contained, and requires no tools or additional hardware. The KLA181 requires an 6 mm hex key
(supplied) for box-to-box and KLA AF12 deployment, and a 6 mm hex key for M10 suspension. You can suspend the
array using the KLA AF12 Array Frame or the M10 installation eyebolts.
Up to two KLA loudspeakers may be used on a tripod
(Figure 5)
or on a pole, no longer than 36 in. (914 mm), over
the KLA181 (or KW181) subwoofer
(Figure 6)
. The KLA12 is equipped with QSC's Tilt-Direct™ 35 mm pole socket to
allow a zero or 9° downward tilt of the loudspeakers for the best audience coverage when deployed on a tripod or
over the subwoofer.
You can attach up to two KLA12 loudspeakers together, and place them on top of a KLA181 subwoofer. The
integrated dove-tail foot on the KLA12 ensures a 0° angle making it ideal for front fill, or stage lip deployment
(Figure 7)

Preparing the KLA for Suspension
AARNRNG!:
The KLA181 weighs 104 lbs. (47.2 kg) and the KLA12 weighs 55 lbs. (25 kg) Use proper lifting techniques to
complete this procedure. Refer to
"KLA Maximum Suspended Load" on page 4
.
AARNRNG!:
Make sure that the loudspeakers are properly aligned; if not, the latching system may not properly engage, and
the loudspeakers could separate causing physical damage, and/or personal injury. The top of a unit should be parallel to the
bottom of the unit above.
AARNRNG!:
During assembly/disassembly, make sure the components are properly supported throughout the entire process.
NIMOATART!:
In all cases, when you attach the loudspeakers together or to the array frame, you are attaching the bottom unit to
the one above, using the attaching mechanism on the bottom unit.
AATNORG!:
QSC recommends lifting the KLA12 loudspeaker from the rear to avoid blemishing the grille. In addition, to protect the
latching mechanism, QSC recommends that you return the hooks to the retracted position, and lock lever "
B
" down when transporting
the loudspeakers.
The KLA12 loudspeakers, when attached together, are a fixed-arcuate line array with splay angles of 18° matching the individual loudspeaker's vertical
dispersion angle of 18°. The KLA12 features QSC's SOLO™, allowing you to attach KLA12s together with one person, and no tools.
