Eye Bolt Mounting - Martin Audio CDD-LIVE! Series User Manual

CDD‐LIVE
Eye Bolt Mounting
All CDD‐Live and CSX‐Live systems have threaded inserts rated for flown applications. All CDD‐Live enclosures have M8 threaded
inserts and both CSX‐Live have M10 inserts. Most commonly these are used in conjunction with shouldered eye bolts for
suspending the cabinets using appropriately rated chain or steel wire. Martin Audio's HTK00003 (M8) and HTK00004 (M10) are
rated for use in flown applications. Note that if you plan to use alternative eye bolts these must be shouldered cast steel NOT
formed steel types commonly available from DIY stores. They must have a safe working load rating compatible with the weight
of the cabinets.
The CDD‐Live enclosures can be flown in 'Portrait' or 'landscape' format, note that the driver must be rotated when the cabinet
is used in landscape mode, please see the chapter on grille removal and driver rotation.
We recommend using a minimum of four eye bolts with which to suspend the cabinet irrespective of which orientation is used.
In most applications two eye bolts are used as the primary support left and right. A third attaches to the rear of the cabinet and
is used to adjust the down‐tilt of the cabinet as required. The fourth eye bolt is used to attach a secondary safety line which
should be attached to a secure mounting point which is independent of the primary flying point‐ round a girder or similar.
