General Safety Advice  

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING: As the legal requirements for flying change from country to country, please 
consult you local safety standards office before installing any product. We also 

recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior to commencing 

work. Qualified personnel trained in safe rigging practices should only suspend the 

system. 

 

Whenever a Tannoy Professional loudspeaker is fixed to a surface using a Tannoy  
Professional hardware device, the installer must ensure that the surface is capable of 

safely and securely supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely and 

securely, attached both to the loudspeaker and also to the surface in question, using 

only the fixing holes provided. Secure fixings to the building structure are vital. Seek 

help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt. 

 

All loudspeakers flown in theatres, nightclubs, conference centre or other places of 

work and entertainment must, be provided with an independent, correctly rated and 

securely attached secondary safety – in addition to the principle hardware device. This 

secondary safety must prevent the loudspeaker from dropping more than 150mm (6”) 

should the principle hardware device fail. 

 
Threaded inserts are fitted to the VS15BP to allow the suspension of a single enclosure. 

Never suspend one enclosure from another to form an array or cluster using only these 

fittings. 

 

If eyebolts are being used then only forged shoulder eyebolts should be used with a 

thread length of 30mm (see section 8.3).

SECUR – ET VTH Pole Mount 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

The Tannoy VS15BP loudspeaker is fitted as 

standard with a blanking plate on top of the

cabinet. However, should you ever wish to 

mount a V series cabinet above the VS15BP 
using standard 35mm tube, this blanking 

plate can be quickly and easily removed 

and replaced by a VTH pole mount. The 

same screws that secure the blanking plate 

should be used to secure the VTH in 

position.
