Electro-Voice® Tour X Owner’s Manual
Safety First
WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only
be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the tech-
niques and regulations of suspending objects overhead. Electro-Voice®
strongly recommends that Tour X speakers be suspended taking into ac-
count all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility
of the installer to ensure that all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
with all such regulations. If Tour X loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice®
strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign
of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately.
Any hardware used to suspend a Tour X loudspeaker that is not associated with
Electro-Voice® is the responsibility of others.

Suspension:
The Electro-Voice® TX1122, TX1152, and TX2152 have threaded points that can be used
for suspension. Please consult pages 3-6 on properly suspending Tour X models prior to installation.
Stand Mount:
The Electro-Voice® TX1122 and TX1152 include 1-3/8” stand mounts for use with tripod
stands. Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight
of the speaker. Place the speaker stand on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the legs of the
stand. Do not try to make the stand “taller” and compromise its structural integrity. Do not attempt to sus-
pend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker. Unless you are confident that you
can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the stand, ask another person to help you place it.
Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not
trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Secure the cables with wire ties or tape
whenever possible.
Ground Stack:
The Electro-Voice® TX2152 can be vertically stacked on a TX2181 to elevate the horn
above the audience. Unless you can safely lift the weight of the loudspeaker on to the ground stack, have
another person to help you place it. The ground stack should be placed on a solid, level surface. When
using subs on a surface that is hard or slick, take precautions to prevent the stacks from “walking”. When
using a ground stack in windy outdoor conditions, when the surface is slippery, or when in adverse condi-
tions, Electro-Voice® recommends using a ratchet strap to secure the speakers.
Hearing Exposure:
Electro-Voice® Tour X loudspeakers are capable of producing sound pressure lev-
els sufficient to produce permanent hearing damage. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged expo-
sure to sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.
Moisture:
Electro-Voice® does not recommend using Tour X loudspeakers in the rain or in high moisture
environments without protection.
