QSC KLA AF12

The QSC KLA AF12 is an array frame designed for suspending KLA Series loudspeakers. It allows for the creation of arrays of up to five KLA12 loudspeakers, with or without KLA181 loudspeakers. The array frame is made of lightweight aluminum and features a quick-release pin system for easy assembly and disassembly.

The KLA AF12 is designed to provide a safe and secure way to suspend KLA Series loudspeakers. It is engineered for a 10:1 design factor, meaning that it can support up to 10 times the weight of the suspended loudspeakers.

The KLA AF12 is also designed for flexibility. The tilt angle of the array can be adjusted by moving the shackle forwards or backwards, allowing for a wide range of coverage options.

Suspending the KLA Series Loudspeakers

WARNING!: Read and follow these instructions carefully. If the loudspeakers are not suspended properly, they could fall,

causing personal injury and damage to the equipment.

Rules for Suspension

• Consultaprofessionalmechanicalorstructuralengineer,licensedinthejurisdictionofthesoundsysteminstallation,toreview,verify,andapprove

allattachmentstothebuildingorstructure.
