Permanent Installation; Using The Fly-Points - Samson dB500a Owner's Manual

Setting Up Your dB500a System

Permanent Installation

The dB500a is logical solution for many fixed
installations in live sound venues, discos,
schools, houses of worship, convention cen-
ters and airport terminals to name a few. The
enclosure is extremely versatile for instal-
lation as it can be hung in several different
positions by using the ten Fly-points.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Hanging the dB500a is
serious business and therefore licensed and
insured professional sound contractors only
should perform such an installation.

Using the Fly-points

The dB500a features ten fly-points
located in pairs below each of the five
carry handles. By removing the handles
you will have access to the threaded
inserts that are compatible with a
variety of standard M8 hardware. The
dB500a's ten fly points accept M8 rig-
ging hardware like that available from
ATM Flyware (www.atmflyware.com).
M8-1.25, 16mm shoulder eyebolts (ATM
Flyware part number, M8-1.25x16EYE)
can be used for hanging the enclosure.
When using the eyebolts, be sure to
use a 1.3 mm (0.05") thick flat-washer
for 8 mm bolts against the insert, and
a 2.6mm (0.09") thick lock-washer for 8
mm bolts between the flat-washer and
the eyebolt.
