Rigging 

RS series products are intended to be suspended via integral rigging points, or ground-stacked. RS subwoofers 
are intended to be ground-stacked only. It is the user’s responsibility to determine the viability and safety for 
alternate methods and implement them accordingly. 
 
NOTE: At a minimum, any suspended RS loudspeaker must be flown from the two top M10 rigging points. The 
third point on the rear of the enclosure may be used to increase the down-tilt. Always observe load de-rating 
when applying loads with lateral components to eyebolts. Use hoist rings where necessary. 

NEVER SUSPEND 

ONE  RS  ENCLOSURE FROM ANOTHER –  ALL FLOWN ENCLOSURES MUST BE SUPPORTED 
INDEPENDENTLY. 

 

WARNING:

 

Mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury and equipment 

damage. This work should be done by qualified persons following safe rigging practices in accordance with all 
applicable safety and construction standards. Such persons must determine the required load ratings and design 
factors. They must determine the mounting or suspension method that meets static, dynamic, shock, and any 
other load requirements. All such work must be done in accordance with and in compliance with all federal, state, 
and local regulations governing such work.

 

 

WARNING:

 

If there is any question about the integrity or capability of any part to perform its intended function 

when used to suspend or mount a loudspeaker, immediately remove it from service for repair or replacement.

 

 

WARNING:

 

Do not under any circumstances use a loudspeaker's handles to support the weight of the 

loudspeaker except for their intended use: hand carrying. The handles are not rated to support the load of the 
loudspeaker for temporary or permanent installation.

 

 

WARNING:

 

Rigging loudspeakers is an extremely serious matter with potentially lethal consequences should 

anything go wrong. It is of vital importance that this task is done by persons qualified to do so and who have a 
full understanding of all factors involved, with safety as the number one priority. Only persons with the 
knowledge of and experience with proper hardware and safe rigging techniques should attempt to suspend or 
mount loudspeaker systems overhead. For all questions involving loudspeaker rigging, consult a licensed, 
qualified professional Engineer or Professional Rigger. All rigging work must be done in accordance with and in 
compliance with all applicable regulations governing such work.
