Safety Precautions
Wall plugs provided are to be used in brick walls only. For other wall materials, source the suitable wall
plug before use.
D.A.S. Audio
is not responsible for use other than the recommended or whether it be the result of
insufficient strength of the support structure. Use only the screws and wall plugs supplied on surfaces that
will provide sufficient support.
Do not use on surfaces such as plaster boards and gypsum.
To ensure optimum safety, the installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals replacing all
deteriorated elements. Loosen the screws before reorienting the speaker. Never force the rigging elements.
It is highly recommended and in most parts of the world mandatory, that a safety cable be used to secure
the enclosure to the structure.
Contact a licensed rigger if there is any doubt.

User’s Manual

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 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).
