Safety
WARNING!:
Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any loudspeaker/subwoofer product, inspect all
hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets, and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded,
deformed, or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation or placement. Any such
condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is
rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term, unexpected overloading.
Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment.
Consult a licensed, professional engineer regarding physical equipment installation. Ensure that all local, state, and
national regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers/subwoofers and related equipment are
understood and adhered to.
Rigging Safety Regulations
• 2006/42/EC
• EN ISO 12100-1: 2004
• EN1991-1 / EN1993-1-1 / EN1993-1-8 / EN1999-1-1
• DGUV Vorschrift 17/18
• ANSI E1.8-2018
Rules for Suspension
• Consult a professional mechanical or structural engineer, licensed in the jurisdiction of the sound system installation, to review,
verify, and approve all attachments to the building or structure.
• Employ the services of a certified, professional rigger for hoisting, positioning, and attaching the equipment to the supporting
structure.
• Correct use of all suspension hardware and components is imperative in sound system suspension and deployment.
• Always calculate suspended loads before lifting to make sure suspension components and hardware are used within their
respective load limits.
• Consult local codes and regulations to fully understand the requirements for suspended loads in the venue in which the equipment
will be suspended.
• Use only dedicated QSC M10 Eyebolt Kit-S for suspending the subwoofer. Further details can be found below.
• Be absolutely certain of the integrity of any structural member intended to support suspended loads. Hidden structural members
can have hidden structural weakness.
• Never assume anything! Owner or third-party supplied suspension attachment points may not be adequate for suspending the
loads.
• Before lifting, always inspect all components (enclosures, suspension brackets, pins, frames, bolts, nuts, slings, shackles, etc.) for
cracks, wear, deformation, corrosion, or missing, loose, or damaged parts that could reduce the strength of the assembly. Discard
any worn, defective, or suspect parts and replace them with new, appropriately load-rated parts.
• Consult a professional mechanical or structural engineer, licensed in the jurisdiction of the sound system installation, to review,
verify, and approve all attachments to the building or structure. Employ the services of a certified, professional rigger for hoisting,
positioning, and rigging the equipment to the supporting structure.
