Rigging Hardware and Accessories Rigging EAW loudspeakers will invariably require hardware not supplied by EAW. Various types of load-rated hardware are available from a variety of third-party sources. There are a number of companies specializing in manufacturing hardware for, designing, and installing rigging systems.
Passive Point Source Application Guide U-Brackets for QX Series QX500 & QX300 Series have optional U-Brackets that may be used. These brackets my only be deployed horizontally, and MUST be used with adapter brackets that are not included with the U-Bracket kit. Without the adapter brackets, the U-brackets cannot physically attach to the cabinets.
