The Front link mechanism of the SUB cabinets provides four  different settings:

  1. SUB to Frame (Þ Fig. 1).
  2. SUB to SUB with 0° splay between the cabinets (Þ Fig. 2).
  3. SUB to SUB with 2.5° splay (free) between the cabinets (Þ Fig. 3).
  4. SUB to SUB with 2.5° splay (blocked) between the cabinets (Þ Fig. 4).
    This setting is used to prevent the cabinets from folding up. d d -audiotechnik-Z5821 CCL-Top-Mounting-Frame (16)

Splay/Rear link mechanism
TOP cabinets
On CCL-TOP cabinets, release the respective Locking pins and fold out the Splay link.

Note: For CCL-TOP speakers of the first series batch, the Splay link is cut from solid steel [A] (high pressure water jet cut), while for the following series batches, the Splay link will be a forged variant [B].
As function and handling of both variants are identical, the Splay link is shown in its solid metal variant throughout this manual.[A].

SUB cabinets
The Rear link of the CCL-SUB cabinets is fixed in its park position by a spring loaded slider mechanism.
To release the link, simply push the slider upwards.

Preset splay angles on CCL8/CCL12 cabinets
The splay angles are set on the central rear rigging strands of the cabinets and can be set in the range from 0° to 14° in 1°detends.
