General Safety and Installation Advice

General safety advice

d&b  loudspeakers  should  only  ever  be  flown  or  installed  using

recommended d&b rigging accessories. The d&b rigging accessories

described  in  the  d&b  rigging  accessories  manual  and  the  specific

mounting  instructions  are  designed  and  manufactured  to  have  a

high  load  safety  factor  for  their  intended  role.  In  order  to  ensure

the highest safety standards, the information presented here on the

assembly and safe use of d&b rigging accessories must be carefully

understood and followed.
The  installation  of  d&b  loudspeakers  using  the  rigging  accessories

described  in  the  d&b  rigging  accessories  manual  and  the  specific

mounting  instructions  should  only  ever  be  carried  out  by  properly

qualified personnel in full compliance with all required safety codes

and  safety  standards  in  force  at  the  place  of  installation.

(In  Germany,  this  means  compliance  with  the  recommendations  of

BGV C1 GUV 6.15)
d&b  rigging  accessories  (components  and  assemblies)  are  supplied

exclusively  for  use  with  specific  d&b  loudspeakers  and  are  not

designed  or  intended  for  use  with  any  other  loudspeakers  or  any

other  devices.  The  use  of  d&b  rigging  accessories  to  deploy

loudspeakers  and  devices  other  than  those  indicated  in  the  d&b

rigging accessories manual and the specific mounting instructions is

improper use. Improper use can compromise safety by overloading

and  damaging  the  rigging  accessories.  d&b  will  not  be  held

responsible for any damage or injury resulting directly or indirectly

from the improper use of d&b rigging accessories.
d&b rigging accessories must not be modified in any way nor should

they  be  assembled  in  ways  other  than  those  indicated  in  the  d&b

rigging  accessories  manual  and  the  specific  mounting  instructions.

Rigging components supplied as part of a complete  assembly are

non-interchangeable  and  must  not  be  exchanged  with  the

component parts of any other assembly.
The  component  parts  of  a  d&b  rigging  accessory  must  only  be

assembled  using  the  fasteners  and  methods  of  assembly

recommended  in  the  d&b  rigging  accessories  manual  and  the

specific mounting instructions. The use of fasteners and methods of

assembly not specified or approved by d&b may result in an unsafe

rigging  assembly.  Welding,  or  any  other  means  of  permanently

fixing rigging components to each other or to cabinet fixing points is

not allowed.

General installation advice

Only the screws, fasteners, plain and shakeproof washers specified

on the relevant page(s) of the d&b rigging accessories manual and

the  specific  mounting  instructions  shall  be  used  to  fasten  together,

where appropriate, suitable d&b rigging components.
d&b  rigging  components  or  assemblies  must  only  be  fixed  to  d&b

loudspeaker  cabinets  using  the  cabinet  fixing  points,  assembly

methods and fasteners specified on the relevant page(s) of the d&b

rigging accessories manual and the specific mounting instructions.
Any  wall,  floor  or  ceiling  to  which  a  d&b  loudspeaker  is  fixed  or
