The installation of Wharfedale Pro loudspeakers should only be carried out by fully qualified installers, in accordance with all the required safety codes and
standards that are applied at the place of installation.
Whenever a Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker is fixed in an installation the installer must ensure that the fixing method used is capable of safely and securely
supporting the load. Secure fixings to the building structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt.
As a minimum safety requirement the industry design standard of 5:1 is recommended. Therefore to suspend a 20kg loudspeaker the suspension method
must be rated for at least 100kg, (5 times 20kg). This applies to static systems only. In addition to the primary fixing method a secondary “safety” fixing
should also be employed should the first fixing fail.
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.
The Wharfedale LX12-E and LX-15E loudspeakers are fitted with M10 flying inserts. One of the simplest and most reliable methods of flying a loudspeaker
cabinet is to use eyebolts screwed into these M10 inserts. Various types of eyebolts are available but for the purposes of suspending a loudspeaker cabinet
on only a forged shoulder eyebolt with product traceability should be considered. Always use eyebolts according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
