Satellite systems
A satellite system refers to a speaker system that mounted on top of a subwoofer. The
satellite system must always provide enough stability. Satellite systems are only allowed if
the subwoofer's weight is twice as much as the top speaker's weight. Furthermore, the
subwoofer's base surface must always be sufficiently dimensioned in relation to the top
speaker in order to prevent tilting over.
The subwoofer and the top speaker must only be connected via an appropriate distance
tube and flange.
The carrying capacity of the distance tube must never be exceeded.
A satellite system must only be installed on the ground!
When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that such an installation has to be
installed in a way that no person can enter the area below the system! Make sure that the
respective area is blocked.
An unintended movement of the load has to be avoided - also in case of fire!
The installation is only allowed on carrying areas. In some cases, an appropriate
substructure, e.g. via an balancing foot, has to be created.
The system must never be moved before the top speaker is uninstalled!
When choosing the installation material, optimum dimensions have to be chosen in order
to secure maximum safety.
Installation on a stand or speaker stand
The speaker system may only be installed on a stand or speaker stand if the original
speaker system is equipped with an appropriate flange.
Stands or satellite systems must only be installed on a plane area with a maximum
inclination angle of 5°.
Caution: Speaker systems installed on stands or satellite systems may cause
severe injuries when crashing!
When using stands or satellite systems under the influence of horizontal forces, e.g.
through wind, the standing safety can be impaired. This is why additional safety
measures like attaching ballast weights have to be taken.
If inclined tension cables or prolonged outriggers are used, the area of danger has to
be marked or even be blocked.
Before lifting or lowering the telescopic tubes, you must always block a safety area
around the stand or satellite system. This safety area must have a diameter of 1.5
times the maximum height.
Lifted telescopic tubes always have to be secured with a secondary securing!
The total weight of the installation (=total weight of all individual parts) must never
exceed the maximum load of the installation area.
The stand has to be installed out of the reach of people.
An unintended movement of the load has to be avoided - also in case of fire!
The installer is responsible for adhering to the carrying capacity given by the
manufacturer, the safety requirements and the qualification of possible co-workers.
