Product Description

3.1

Cluster plates (point-source mode)

Cluster plates are used for clustering two SPECTRA 212i systems in point-source mode. This 
allows for achieving a larger overall directivity. The accessories allow interconnecting the 
speakers in acoustically logical angles.
We recommend using the cluster plates for the SPECTRA 212i N speaker version only.
Two SPECTRA 212i N speakers configured with cluster plates provide an overall directivity of 
100° × 30°.
Two product variants are available for point-source applications:

3.1.1

Cluster Plate Set

Allows for setting up a cluster of SPECTRA 212i speakers in point-source mode at a predefined 
angle.

3.1.2

Horizontal Cluster Flying Set

You can place clusters interconnect-
ed using cluster plates on the floor or 
a base. For this approach, you just 
need to interconnect the speaker 
tops using a plate. A cluster plate set 
allows for building two clusters with 
two speakers each.

Allows for suspending a cluster with 
two vertically arranged speakers in 
point-source mode.
This setup allows for achieving vari-
ous tilt angles.
Using the horizontal cluster flying 
set, you can suspend two intercon-
nected speakers using the flybar (in-
cluded with the set).
Using the appropriate flybar hole, 
you can adjust the desired speaker 
down-tilt as required.
Repositioning the flybar shifts the 
grid by half the dimension, thus ef-
fectively doubling the achievable 
down-tilt options.
Suspend the speakers using either 
K&F 450 rotation clamps or suitable 
shackles (3.25 t).
