WARNING:
Do not under any circumstances use a loudspeaker's handles to support the weight of the
loudspeaker except for their intended use: hand carrying. The handles are not rated to support the load of the
loudspeaker for temporary or permanent installation.
The VQ range of loudspeakers is intended to be suspended or ground-stacked. This section details how to
physically configure VQ flyware and arrays. The following are the recommended methods for most situations.
Specific situations may require other methods. It is the userʼs responsibility to determine the viability and safety
for alternate methods and implement them accordingly.
7.1
FLYING A SINGLE VQ CABINET USING EYEBOLTS
The simplest method of flying a single VQ cabinet is with a pair of M10 shoulder eyebolts on the top, using a third
eyebolt on the rear of the cabinet to tilt the cabinet.
Flying a single VQ cabinet in a landscape orientation using EBS forged Eyebolts
VEB FORGED EYEBOLT
VQ loudspeakers can be flown with high quality VEB M10 eyebolts with collar to
BS4278:1984. The loudspeakers are equipped with internal steel braces, which also
double as the flying points, and accept VEB M10 eyebolts.
To install the VEB M10 eyebolts remove the original M10 counter sunk screws from the
locations you wish to install the VEB M10 eyebolts. Then replace these counter sunk
M10 screws with the VEB M10 eyebolts. The M10 insert on the rear of the cabinet also
accepts a VEB M10 eyebolt and should be used for tilting the loudspeaker to the desired
angle.
IMPORTANT:
It is imperative for safety reasons that a minimum of two eyebolts linked to
two independently fixed straps are used per cabinet. Never suspend one enclosure
from the other using eyebolts.
Never attempt to use formed eyebolts i.e. formed from a steel rod and bent into an eye.
