Remove the front two countersunk M10 screws located on the top of the cabinet and the top M10 countersunk
screw on the top rear of the cabinet. Assemble the flying bracket as shown.
(See fig. 1)
IMPORTANT:
Only the screws, fasteners, shake proof and plain washers supplied should be used to assemble
the VQ flying bracket. Note: All fixings should be thread-locked and torqued to 25Nm.
When fixed in position the rod end can be moved along any of the five serrated edges within each slot to fine tune
the loudspeakers tilt angle.
(See fig. 2)
Threaded rod used should be no more than 300mm (12”) in length. The
user is responsible for supplying the correct threaded rod. The minimum specifications for the threaded rod are:-
USA - Grade B7 (1438lbs, 650kgs for ½” rod based on a safety factor of 10:1)
Metric - Grade 10.9 (1459lbs, 660kgs for 12mm rod based on a safety factor 10:1)
Use the appropriate nuts to lock the rod end to the threaded rod (supplied by user). Use a Nyloc nut at the top of
the threaded rod to secure the pole clamp (supplied by user).
The Tannoy VPC pole clamp can be attached to the threaded rod if flying the VQ loudspeaker from an overhead
bar or truss. The threaded rod can also be attached to suitably rated Uni-Strut.
Always use Nyloc nuts to secure the threaded rod to the pole clamp or Uni-Strut.
The rigging of a flown sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the
required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks.
Fixing of hanging points in a roof should always be carried out by a professional rigger and in accordance with the
local rules of the venue.
A maximum of VQ 60 + VQ MB + VQ DF (350lbs, 160kg) can be flown from a single threaded rod. This
combination carries a safety factor of 8:1.
