CHAPTER 4: QUICKFLY RIGGING

IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS!

When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers and subwoofers, the following precautions should always be observed:
• All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner's and user's responsibility to evaluate the reli-
ability of any rigging method for their application. Rigging
should only be carried out by experienced professionals.
• Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.

Table 4 summarizes the available rigging options for LEOPARD. For complete information about rigging hardware, including
dimensions, weight, configuration, and load ratings, refer to the MG-LEOPARD/900 Assembly Guide (PN 05.243.080.01)

structural components (roof truss), and not just to the
wall surface.
