DANGER:
The loudspeakers described in this manual are designed and intended to be ‘flown’ or
suspended for maximum acoustical performance using a variety of rigging hardware, means, and
methods. Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel.
It is strongly recommended that a licensed and certified professional structural engineer approve the
mounting design. Severe injury and/or loss of life may occur if these products are improperly
installed.
DANGER:
R-Series rigging fittings are rated at a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 100 lbs (45.4kg) with
a 10:1 safety margin. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a load that is greater than
this stated limit. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe injury and/or loss of life.
IMPORTANT
:
Refer to the sections on installation and connections later in this manual for additional
information on rigging and electrical safety.
IMPORTANT
:
The stainless steel mounting bolts that come installed in each enclosure must either
be used to mount the Accessory Mounting Yoke or they must be kept in place to seal the enclosure
from air leaks. If the rigging fittings do not remain sealed, air leaks will occur in the enclosure that
will compromise the loudspeaker’s weather- resistance and its low frequency performance.
