ACCESSORIES
Horizontal Fly Kit: IB-HFK*
A Horizontal Fly Kit is available that fits the iHP1200, iHP1500 and
iHP3500 Series iBOX loudspeakers. Designated the
IB-HFK
, it provides in-line
horizontal suspension of one or more iBOX loudspeakers. It is intended for use
only with identically dimensioned enclosures; it does not permit mixing form-
factors.
The kit consists of two Lifting Brackets for the top enclosure, plus two
Universal Planar Spacer Brackets and two Fly Kit Spacer Brackets. The top
Lifting Brackets are provided with a series of shackle holes, allowing the installer
to adjust the angle of tilt of the array.
The Universal Planar Spacer Brackets and Fly Kit Spacer Brackets are
slotted to align with the iBOX rigging fittings on the sides of the enclosures. They
allow two iBOX enclosures to be flown in a tight-pack configuration or, with as
much as 45º of splay between cabinet edges. Three iBOX enclosures may be
flown by purchasing an additional Horizontal Fly Kit.
WARNING:
Do not use the Horizontal Fly Kit with more than three enclosures.
All parts in the kit are engineered to provide a high margin of safety when used with iBOX loudspeakers.
The brackets are manufactured of steel and covered with a durable powder-coat finish. Each kit comes
complete with two eyebolts that may be used on the lower loudspeaker as pull-back points, if a steep angle of
downward tilt is required. Kits are available in either black or white to match the color of the enclosures. Please
note, however, that the eyebolts provided with the White Horizontal Fly Kits are finished in black.
No hardware is provided to attach suspension cables to the Horizontal Fly Kit. Such hardware must be
supplied by the installer and should be sized and rated to safely handle the combined weight load of the
enclosures. The installer is solely responsible for determining if all rigging components that are used to suspend
the enclosures are adequately sized and rated, and if the structure they are suspended from is capable of safely
supporting the aggregate weight load.
Vari-Angle Kit: IB-VAK
A Vari-Angle Kit is available that fits the iHP1200, iHP1500 and iHP3500 Series iBOX
loudspeakers. Designated the
IB-VAK
, the kit consists of a rigid support channel that attaches
to the top or bottom rigging fittings of any iBOX, and moveable hanging tabs that permit the
enclosure to be flown at varying angles of downward tilt.
The support channel may also be attached to a standard yoke assembly (purchased
separately), which is then attached to the enclosure. This arrangement allows the loudspeaker to
be adjusted in two axes; the yoke assembly provides a range of horizontal adjustment, relative
to the suspension points, while the vertical angle may be adjusted by selecting the location of
the hanging tabs. Note: Use the IB-Y12 yoke for iHP1200 Series enclosures, the IB-Y15 yoke
for iHP1500 Series enclosures, and the IB-Y35 yoke for the iHP3500 Series enclosures.
All parts in the Vari-Angle Kit are engineered to provide a high margin of safety when
used with iBOX loudspeakers. The brackets are manufactured of steel and covered with a
durable powder-coat finish. Kits are available in either black or white to match the color of the
enclosures.
No hardware is provided to attach suspension cables to the Vari-Angle Kit. Such hardware must be
supplied by the installer and should be sized and rated for the weight load of the enclosure(s). The installer is
solely responsible for determining if all rigging components that are used to suspend the enclosure(s) are
adequately sized and rated, and if the structure they are suspended from is capable of safely supporting the
aggregate weight load. If multiple enclosures are suspended one above the other, it is the installer’s
responsibility to insure that the combined weight load does not exceed the Working Load Limit of any one rigging
