RIGGING SYSTEM

Warning

This manual contains needed information for 

flying D.A.S. Audio line array systems, description 
of the elements and safety precautions.

To perform any operations related to flying the 

system, read the present document first, and act 
on the warnings and advice given.

The goal is to the allow the user to become 

familiar with the mechanical elements required to 
fly  the  acoustic  system,  as  well  as  the  safety 
measures to be taken during set-up and teardown.

Only  experienced  installers  with  adequate 

knowledge  of  the  equipment  and  local  safety 
regulations should fly speaker boxes.

It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the 

systems to be flown (including flying accessories) 
comply with state and local regulations.

The working load limits in this manual are the 

results of tests by independent laboratories. It is 
the user's responsibility to stay within safe limits. It 
is the user's responsibility to follow and comply 
with  safety  factors,  resistance  values,  periodical 
supervisions and warnings given in this manual.

Product  improvement  by  means  of  research 

and  development  is  on  going  at  D.A.S. 
Specifications  are  subject  to  change  without 
notice.

To this date, there is no international standard 

regarding the flying of acoustic systems. However, 
it is common practice to apply 5:1 safety factors 
for enclosures and static elements.

For slings and elements exposed to material 

fatigue  due  to  friction  and  load  variation  the 
following ratios must be met; 5:1 for steel cable 
slings, 4:1 for steel chain slings and 7:1 polyester 
slings.

Thus, an element with a breaking load limit of 

1000 kg may be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1 
safety factor) and dynamically loaded with 142 Kg 
(7:1 safety factor).

When flying a system, the working load must 

be  lower  than  the  resistance  of  each  individual 
flying point in the enclosure, as well as each box.

Hanging  hardware  should  be  regularly 

inspected and suspect units replaced if in doubt.

This is important to avoid injury and absolutely 

no risks should be taken in this respect. It is highly 
recommended that you implement an inspection 
and  maintenance  program  on  flying  elements, 
including reports to be filled out by the personnel 
that will carry out the inspections.

Local  regulations  may  exist  that,  in  case  of 

accident, may require you to present evidence of 
inspection  reports  and  corrective  actions  after 
defects were found.

Absolutely  no  risks  should  be  taken  with 

regards to public safety. When flying enclosures 
from    ceiling  support  structures,  extreme  care 
should  be  taken  to  assure  the  load  bearing 
capabilities of the structures so that the installation 
is absolutely safe.

Do not fly enclosures from unsafe structures.

Consult a certified professional if needed.

All flying accessories that are not supplied by 

D.A.S. Audio are the user's responsibility. Use at 
your own risk.

Description

D.A.S. Audio 

æro 

8A

 line array systems, include 

2  rigging  structures  on  each  side  of  the  box. 
Manufactured  from  zinc  plated  steel  they  are 
painted black and are affixed to an internal plate 
with  special  crop  resistant  screws.  Two  special 
stainless steel cam links are assembled to each of 
the structures, allow for stacking or flying of boxes. 
Splay angles can be changed from 0º to 10º in 1º 
increments.
