Rigging and Suspension
WARNING:
Suspending the system should only be carried by qualified personnel
following safe rigging practices. Secure fixings to the building structure are vital.
Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if you have
doubts.
X-line Series enclosures are designed for portable applications, but can
be suspended by means of the threaded inserts provided or using compatible
NEXT-PROAUDIO wall Brackets. The X10, X12 and X212 enclosures are fitted
internally with steel corner reinforcement brackets to ensure that each cabinet is
strong enough to be hung from its top.
The common practice of using commercially available eye bolts for
suspension should only be undertaken with great caution. Eye bolts are strongest
along the thread axis. Angling the enclosure will result in an angle pull and it is
important to use eye bolts that are safe in these circumstances. Only forged
shoulder eye bolts should be considered and it is important that the thread length
is at least 30mm. A flat washer should be inserted between the eyebolt and the
enclosure.
Formed eye bolts (i.e. those which are formed from a steel rod
bent into an eye) should be avoided.
In case of portable suspended use
always perform a visual inspection for component damage and/or deformation,
including the cabinets. If you find any signs of damage or deformation
DO NOT
USE THE AFFECTED COMPONENT
.
REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.
3. UNPACKING
Every Next X-line Series loudspeaker is built to the highest standard and is
thoroughly inspected before it leaves the factory. After unpacking the system,
examine it carefully for any signs of transport damage and inform your dealer if
any such damage is found. It is suggested that you retain the original packaging
so that the system can be repacked for transport if necessary. Please note that
Next-proaudio and its distributors cannot accept any responsibility for damage that
occurs to any returned product using non-approved packaging.
4. GENERAL OVERVIEW
The X-line X10, X12, Xs15, Xs18 and XH18 are ideally suited for applications that
require very compact size, high output and ease of transportation. They also make
ideal fill-in speakers for use with larger X-line systems and their very small size is
particularly useful in situations that require visually discrete solutions.
The X212 is the most powerful X-line solution, intended for more
demanding situations, where higher power is needed, like (but not limited to) small
to medium live venues.
