VLF MOUNTING BRACKETS AND ACCESSORIES
Below are descriptions of optional accessories manufactured by Community for use with VLF loudspeakers.
In this section the terms “suspension” and “fly” mean the same thing: to elevate the loudspeaker enclosure
above the ground surface. Consult the user’s guide included with each part for detailed safety instructions.
It is the responsibility of the installer to insure that safe installation practices are followed. 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.
IMPORTANT:
All rigging fittings should remain sealed, otherwise air leaks will occur in the
enclosure that can compromise the low-frequency performance with distortion and reduced
output.
WARNING:
VLF rigging fittings are rated at a Working Load Limit of 100 lbs (45.4kg) with
a 10:1 safety margin. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a load that is
greater than 100 lbs. Failure to heed this warning could result in injury or death!
VLF-Y208 Mounting Yoke Bracket
The
VLF-Y208
yoke bracket is designed to mount the VLF208 subwoofer in either a vertical or horizontal
orientation. It is engineered to provide a high margin of safety when supporting the VLF208 subwoofer.
Yokes are manufactured of steel, covered with a durable powder-coat finish, and are available in either black
or white to match the color of the enclosure.
