DANGER:
The loudspeakers described in this manual are designed and intended to be ‘flown’ or
suspended using a variety of rigging hardware, means, and methods. Installation of loudspeakers
should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel. It is strongly recommended that a licensed
and certified professional structural engineer approve the mounting design. Severe injury and/or loss of
life may occur if these products are improperly installed!
DANGER:
iBOX rigging fittings are rated at a Working Load Limit of 150 lbs (68 kg) with a 15:1 safety
margin. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a lo
ad that is greater than 150
lbs. Failure
to heed this warning could result in injury or death!
DANGER:
All rigging fittings and OmniMount™ inserts must be fitted with optional mounting hardware
or they must remain sealed with the flat-head Allen screws that come installed in the enclosure. The flat
-head Allen screws pass through the Baltic birch plywood panels and fasten to internal steel rigging
brackets, providing structural integrity. Without these Allen screws, the structural integrity of the
plywood enclosure would rely solely on the adhesion of the glue joints, which over time could
deteriorate. Therefore,
all fasteners
must remain in place
so that the enclosure may be safely ‘flown’
or suspended overhead.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the sections on installation and connections later in this manual for additional
information on rigging and electrical safety.
