Klipsch recommends that only qualified personnel install its loudspeaker
systems. In addition to the load ratings of speaker enclosure pickup points,
rigging hardware and array configurations, the safety and integrity of any
installation depends on the strength and suitability of the attachment
location. At all times, make sure that the equipment and rigging point
locations are inspected and meet all load requirements with a large margin
of safety. Check all rigging components for defects and corrosion as per
their manufacturer’s recommendations.
Be sure that adequate safety factors are observed, including verifying the
load rating and stress capabilities of attachment hardware, including all
nuts, bolts, brackets and straps. Klipsch additionally recommends backup
retaining straps and/or cinched wirerope for an added measure of safety.
Installations and attachment locations that could present a safety harzard
should be checked and certified as safe by a professional structural engineer.
After assembly of the components on each speaker system, but before
operation, be sure that all bolts and nuts are double-checked for proper seating
and tightness. Due to the weight and size of the components involved, potential
damage could occur if devices were to become unattached.
The KI Series of products are for use
as a “Single Mount Array”, or SMA.
The suspension hardware is intended
for applications requiring suspension
of an individual loudspeaker.
The multiple suspension points are
available to add flexibility to the
mounting options, but NOT intended to
be used as suspension points for other
loudspeakers.
