Rigging

HD1521s may be individually flown horizontally or 

vertically using M10 X 1.5 X 37 mm forged shoulder 
eyebolts.

WARNING: Installation should only be done by 
an experienced technician. Improper instal-
lation may result in damage to the equip-

ment, injury or death. Make sure that the loudspeaker 
is installed in a stable and secure way in order to avoid 
any conditions that may be dangerous for persons or 
structures.

WARNING: The cabinet is suitable for rigging 
via its fly points. NEVER attempt to suspend 
the HD1521 by its handles.

Rigging Design Practices

Rigging a loudspeaker requires determining:

1. The rigging methods and hardware that meet static, 

shock, dynamic, and any other load requirements for 
supporting the loudspeaker from structure.

2. The design factor for and the required WLL (Work-

ing Load Limit) for this support.

Mackie strongly recommends the following rigging 
practices:

1. Documentation: Thoroughly document the design 

with detailed drawings and parts lists.

2. Analysis: Have a qualified professional, such as a 

licensed Professional Engineer, review and approve the 
design before its implementation.

3. Installation: Have a qualified professional rigger do 

the installation and inspection.

4. Safety: Use adequate safety precautions and back-

up systems.
