INSTALLATION
General Information
IC Live Gen 5 hardware was designed to be easy to install on a flat surface, such as a wall. Note that it was not designed
to be mounted in the wall or in an alcove. The amplifiers are convection cooled and their heat sinks require at least an
inch of separation from the nearest surface.
The included hinge kits allow wall mounted arrays to be rotated 90 degrees away from the wall to provide easy access to
the rear ports during installation and for any testing or service. They also provide the separation needed for cooling.
The actual installation should be made either by, or under the close supervision of, someone experienced in installation
techniques, and rigging related to the type of mounting surface or wall.
Wall Mounting Information
The following instructions assume that the array(s) will be mounted using the included HK series hinge kits.
HK series hinge kits come standard with Gen 5 arrays and will be packed in one of the cartons. Each mounting plate has
a pin that may be moved to provide for either “right” or “left” swing away from the wall. IC8-RN columns will have two
hinge sections; all others will have three hinge sections.
The female hinges are attached to the column and the male hinges to the wall. The photos below show the male mount-
ing plates with pins in both positions for illustrative purposes.
Notice that one of the wall mounting hinge plates has a metal strap attached to it. This hinge plate can go on the top or
bottom. The metal strap attaches to the top or bottom of the array after it is hung and is used to lock the column array in
place.
Hint:
To simplify the mounting many installers will first cut a “backing plate” the size of the
column out of heavy plywood and mount the hinge plates on it. It’s a lot easier to align the
hinge sections on a piece of plywood than it is on the wall. Then, when the alignment is
perfect they mount the “backing plate” to the wall. After that, it’s usually a comparatively
easy task to hang the column array on the backing plate.
After the column array is hung on the wall, remove the machine screw from the center of the end cap with the restraining
strap and use it to attach the strap.
In outdoor or weatherized applications, the restraining strap should only be used on the bottom.
