C Ca au uttiio on n:: Before attempting to suspend the Quadra 15P, consult a certified structural engineer.
Speakers can fall from improper suspension, resulting in serious injury and property damage. Other
enclosures must not be suspended below one, nor should additional weight be suspended from one
of these units. Use only the correct mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of
the user.
Always use all four inserts of a given group as a set; NEVER use just one insert to fly a cabinet! The
four insert groupings contain a top group of four and a bottom group of four, and some models also
have a group of four on the rear plane of the cabinet.
Maximum enclosure angle from vertical hang: 30˚
Always loop a suitable safety chain or wire rope through the top handle of the enclosure, and firmly
attach it to a suitable structural member as indicated by a certified structural engineer.
The recommended range of torque for the mounting bolt is 3 to 3-1/2 lb./feet of torque. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN! If an insert spins, it has been damaged and the cabinet cannot be flown!
Never transport the cabinet while mounted on an array bracket or other mounting bracket, as this
may unduly stress the mounting inserts.
W WA AR RN NIIN NG G!! (note to structural engineer)
For the Quadra 15P, the thread insertion depth of the mounting bolt should not be more than 1/2"
past the surface of the cabinet.
If this thread insertion depth is exceeded, the inserts may be damaged or unseated, severely
compromising the mounting integrity of the cabinet!
The correct mounting bolt diameter and threads per inch are: 1/4" X 20. Use of a grade five bolt is
recommended.

The Quadra 15P comes with an 8' IEC connection AC power cord. It is likely that some sort of
extension cord will be used with this powered speaker system, so make sure that the extension cord
is no longer than necessary and is of a sufficient current capacity to maintain safety. To maximize the
power output capability of the Quadra 15P’s internal amplifiers and to minimize the voltage drop that
all extension cords cause, do not power anything else from the extension cord used to power the
Quadra 15P. Running just one extension cord back to the wall plug for the entire sound system will
not maximize performance.
The third wire ground plug on the AC plug should NEVER be removed or broken off, as this seriously
compromises safety.
