Maintenance of Rigging

Suspension systems can degrade with time, 
exposure to atmospheric conditions and ware, 
they require regular inspection and routine 
maintenance to insure the speaker cluster 
and fittings are secure. The installation must 
be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The 
inspection must include a survey of all load 
bearing surfaces including those attached 
to the building for signs of deterioration or 
any other condition that may decrease the 
strength of the installation or loudspeaker 
enclosure.

Quest Engineering or its distributors are not 
responsible for the non legal application or 
misuse and abuse of its products by installers 
and product users.

HPI212S Rigging Points

The HPI-212S casing contains 10 internal 
threaded inserts for flying the box. Rated M8  
eye bolts can be attached to the casing  for 
flying the box in a permanent installation. 

The HPI212S as Part of a Larger 

System

The HPI series is designed to be multi-
functional. Both the HPI212S and HPI18LP 
can be used as a stand alone sub bass or 
independently crossed over, as band pass 
elements in a multi-way system.

WARNING

Do not attach the HPI212S to the HPI110 box inserts if flying the sub 
bass as part of a flown array. 

When used in conjunction with a HPI-212S, 
the HPI212S can be band-passed with an 
electronic x-over to reproduce a very low 
frequency range to provide the very low sub 
bass of electronic music and the HPI-212S 
can be set at a frequency range to provide the 
“punch”. The ideal frequency range to set the 
individual box element is as follows:

HPI212S band-passed 75-120 Hz.

HPI18LP band-passed  30-75 Hz.

The filter type needs to be a 24 dB per octave 
slope.

Depending on the method of installation and 
room acoustics, minor variations to these 
settings may be necessary for ideal results.

The HPI Ground Stack Footprint

The physical footprint allows the HPI212S to 
interlock with the HPI18LP in a ground stack. 
Up to three HPI110 or HPI210 box elements 
can be stacked in a ground stack array.

CAUTION

It is strongly advised to attach the 
array flying plate to the top of the 
ground stacked boxes to prevent any 
box elements being dislodged from 
the ground stack . A ratchet strap can 
also be used to secure the boxes .
