Using the CDL12P Rigging Sling with the CDL12P Rigging Grid

WARNING: 

The CDL12P Rigging Sling is required on all installations that include  

                4 or more CDL12P loudspeakers in a vertical array. Additionally, in

Pole Mounting Options

You can mount up to two CDL12P loudspeakers on a loudspeaker pole either 

using a tripod stand that supports the total weight (130 lbs / 58.9 kg) or atop 

a CDL18s. A single CDL12P may be mounted atop a ULT18, or AIR18. When 

mounting atop a supported PreSonus subwoofer, utilize a sub pole that 

supports the total weight of the CDL12 loudspeaker(s). If mounting atop a 

subwoofer, the elevation height cannot exceed the following guidelines:

Maximum Sub Pole Height

      or AIR18s

Important Pole Mounting Safety Instructions

•  Always check the stand or pole specification to verify that it is 

designed to support the weight of the CDL12P loudspeaker(s). 

•  Always observe all safety precautions specified by any 3rd party 

manufacturer of devices used with the CDL12P loudspeakers.

•  Always verify that the stand or subwoofer and subwoofer 

pole is resting on a level, flat, and stable surface.

•  Tripod legs should be fully extended for maximum stability and positioned 

in a low-traffic area so that the legs do not create a tripping hazard.

•  Route cables so that no one will trip over them as this could topple 

the speaker and cause serious injury, damage, or death.

•  Stands, poles, and associated hardware should be inspected prior to each 

use. Do not use equipment with worn, damaged, or missing parts.

•  For some applications, it may be necessary to place additional weights, 

such as sandbags, on the base of the stand to for maximum stability.

•  Do not attach banners to the stand as these could function like a sail 

to topple the system, causing serious injury, damage or death.
