Rigging Hardware and Accessories

Rigging Mackie subwoofers will invariably require 

hardware not supplied by Mackie. Various types of   
load-rated hardware are available from a variety of 
third-party sources. There are a number of such  
companies specializing in manufacturing hardware for, 
designing, and installing rigging systems. Each one of 
these tasks is a discipline in its own right. Because of 
the hazardous nature of rigging work and the potential 
liability, engage companies that specialize in these 
disciplines to do the work required. 

Mackie does offer certain accessory rigging items, 

primarily for attachment to the hardware integral with 
the subwoofer. Some items, such as eyebolts, may be 
used with a variety of products. While these accessories 
are intended to facilitate installation, the wide variety of 
possible installation conditions and array configurations 
do not permit Mackie to determine their suitability or 
load rating for any particular application.

Mackie is not in the business of providing complete 

rigging systems, either as designers, manufacturers, or 
installers. It is the responsibility of the installer to   
provide a properly engineered, load-certified rigging 
system for supporting the subwoofer from structure.

Rigging Notes

The HD1801’s integral mounting points are designed 

to support only the weight of their own subwoofer, 
or in combination with (1) one HD-Series full-range 
loudspeaker, with suitable, external hardware. This 
means that each HD subwoofer, alone or paired with an 
HD-Series full-range loudspeaker, must be supported 
independently of any other HD subwoofer and any other 
loads.

A minimum of two rigging points must be used to hang 

an HD1801. More may be used for creating the desired 
hanging angle as shown in the illustrations on page 12.

 

All mounting points are fully load bearing so any two 
may be used for rigging; no mounting points are  
restricted to angle control only.

Rigging

HD1801s may be individually flown using M10 x 1.5 x 

37 mm forged shoulder eyebolts.

WARNING: Installation should only be done 
by an experienced technician. Improper            
installation may result in damage to the 

equipment, injury or death. Make sure that the  

 

subwoofer is installed in a stable and secure way in 
order to avoid any conditions that may be dangerous for 
persons or structures.

WARNING: The cabinet is only suitable for 
rigging via its fly points. NEVER attempt to 
suspend the HD1801 by its handles.

Rigging Design Practices

Rigging a subwoofer requires determining:

1. The rigging methods and hardware that meet static, 

shock, dynamic, and any other load requirements for 
supporting the subwoofer from structure.

2. The design factor for and the required WLL  

(Working Load Limit) for this support.

Mackie strongly recommends the following rigging 
practices:

1. Documentation: Thoroughly document the design 

with detailed drawings and parts lists.

2. Analysis: Have a qualified professional, such as a 

licensed Professional Engineer, review and approve the 
design before its implementation.

3. Installation: Have a qualified professional rigger do 

the installation and inspection.

4. Safety: Use adequate safety precautions and  

back-up systems.
