6.8.2Stacking Additional Enclosures (SB730 as the base)

CAUTION: When attaching Hinges to Hinge Tubes in step 5 for an SB730, position the SB730 so it lies flat on the SB730 below it. In step 5 for a KF730, use the correct holes as determined by the KF730 Wizard or by the user-desired angles to achieve the desired splay angle. Failure to follow this instruction can result in poor acoustical performance.

1.Lift an SB730 or KF730 from its pallet and orient it so the Hinges on the enclosure are on the top, this being the normal orientation for suspension.

2.Lift the enclosure onto the stack mating the alignment pads and recesses between them.

3.Remove the four (SB730) or six (KF730) Quick Release Pins from the Hinges of the lower enclosure.

4.Slide the four lower enclosure Hinges up into the Hinge Tubes on the enclosure above it.

5.Attach each Hinge to the Hinge Tube by inserting a Quick Release Pin (removed in Step 4) through both.

6.For a KF730, use its handles to lift the rear of the enclosure as high as possible and insert a Quick Release Pin (removed in step 3) into each of the enclosure’s rear Hinge Tubes as a locking pin. See “Locking Pins” Section 6.4.5.

7.Repeat steps 1 to 6 for additional enclosures.

6.8.3Stacking With the Fly-Bar as the Base

IMPORTANT NOTE: If using the Fly-Bar as the base, all KF730 and SB730 enclosures are stacked upside down.

1.At the desired stacking location, position the KF730 Fly-Bar on the floor so it is resting on its leveling feet. This will be upside down from its normal orientation for suspension, oriented with the corner hinge Tubes towards the audience.

2.Adjust the leveling feet on the Fly-Bar so the Fly-Bar sits level or at the desired angle. Firmly tighten the nut on each leveling foot against the Fly-Bar pad. Firmly tighten the second “jam” nut against the first to lock both nuts.

6.8.4Stacking the First Enclosure (Fly-Bar as the base)

CAUTION: When attaching Hinges to Hinge Tubes in step 4 for an SB730, position the SB730 so it lies flat on the KF730 Fly-Bar. In step 4 for a KF730, use the correct holes as determined by the KF730 Wizard or by the user-desired angles to achieve the desired aiming angle. Failure to follow this instruction can result in poor acoustical performance.

1.Lift an SB730 or KF730 from its pallet and turn it upside down, so the Hinges on the enclosure are on the bottom. Position it onto the Fly-Bar so its Hinges line up the Fly-Bar Hinge Tubes.

2.Remove the four (SB730) or six (KF730) Quick Release Pins from the Hinges.

3.If they do not drop from gravity, slide the four Hinges of the enclosure down into the Hinge Tubes on the Fly-Bar.

4.Attach each Hinge to the Hinge Tube by inserting a Quick Release Pin (removed in Step 2). Use what is now the upper hole on the Fly-Bar Hinge Tube.

5.For a KF730, use its handles to lift the rear of the enclosure as far as possible and insert a Quick Release Pin (removed in step 2) into each of the enclosure’s rear Hinge Tubes as a locking pin. See “Locking Pins” Section 6.4.5.
