9. Rigging & Suspension
9.1 General Safety Advice
WARNING: As the legal requirements for flying change from country to country, please
consult you local safety standards office before installing any product. We also
recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior to commencing
work. Qualified personnel trained in safe rigging practices should only suspend the
system.
Whenever a Tannoy Professional loudspeaker is fixed to a surface using a Tannoy
Professional hardware device, the installer must ensure that the surface is capable of
safely and securely supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely and
securely, attached both to the loudspeaker and also to the surface in question, using
only the fixing holes provided. Secure fixings to the building structure are vital. Seek
help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt.
All loudspeakers flown in theatres, nightclubs, conference centre or other places of
work and entertainment must, be provided with an independent, correctly rated and
securely attached secondary safety – in addition to the principle hardware device. This
secondary safety must prevent the loudspeaker from dropping more than 150mm (6”)
should the principle hardware device fail.
Threaded inserts are fitted to the VS15HL to allow the suspension of a single enclosure.
Never suspend one enclosure from another to form an array or cluster using only these
fittings.
If eyebolts are being used then only forged shoulder eyebolts should be used with a
thread length of 30mm (see section 8.3).
9.2 SECUR – ET VTH Pole Mount
The Tannoy VS15HL loudspeaker is fitted as
standard with a blanking plate on top of the
cabinet. However, should you ever wish to
mount a V series cabinet above the VS15HL
using standard 35mm tube, this blanking
plate can be quickly and easily removed
and replaced by a VTH pole mount. The
same screws that secure the blanking plate
should be used to secure the VTH in
position.
