Mounting and rigging options

WARNING
! The overhead suspension of loudspeakers is a very serious issue with potentially lethal consequences should anything go wrong. Rigging should only be carried out
by experienced personnel following safe working practice. Should you be in any doubt whatsoever, please contact the retailer or dealer from which you purchased this
product.
! When utilising any suspension method, a secondary safety feature must be used. For any suspension method, fit an M10 eyebolt to any of the rigging points. A safety
steel can then be attached to this and connected to your safety point. If you are in any doubt whatsoever about how to safely suspend your loudspeakers, do not hesitate
to contact the retailer or dealer from which you purchased this product.

Rigging hardware and accessories

The XY-122 has six options for mounting and suspension, both for temporary use and for permanent, fixed installation.
The XY-122 contains 14 of M10 threaded fixing points around the enclosure, to enable suspension using forged shoulder eyebolts (minimum thread length: 20 mm (0.8 in.))
or the optional flying hardware. These fixings allow suspension in any orientation, with the extra point on the rear of the enclosure available for pull-back to obtain the desired
rigging angle or as a secondary safety point.
The XY-122 also has four M8 threaded fixings on the rear for use with wall mount brackets.
! With any suspension method, a second anchor point should be used as a safety feature.
! Under no circumstances should the mounting points of one enclosure be used to suspend another enclosure below it. Pioneer is in no way responsible for the failure of
incorrectly rigged systems. This information relates specifically to the rigging techniques for the XY-122 enclosure only. If you are in any doubt about safe practices for
rigging loudspeakers, please contact the retailer or dealer from which you purchased this product.

Permanent installations

Any installation (permanent or temporary) must be securely attached to the structure of the building using chain, steel wire or web straps that are certified and load rated
for the loudspeaker system. Consideration must be taken when determining the loading on the structure to include loudspeakers and rigging hardware, and the appropriate
safety factor can then be decided upon. If you are in any doubt whatsoever, please contact the retailer or dealer from which you purchased this product. A reputable rigging
organisation should also be able to advise on legislation regarding safety factors for suspended systems of this type.

Attachment of the CP-XY12VC1 Vertical Flying Cradle

Using the supplied M10 socket head bolts, align the mounting holes in the coffin
plate with the mounting points on the top or the bottom of the enclosure. The arrow
in the coffin plate points forwards. Ensure that both the flat and locking washers
are used – the flat washer should be in contact with the cradle. Tighten the bolts to
ensure a solid fit. Once the desired angle of the loudspeaker is set, tighten the levers
on the cradle to lock the position in place. The points on the top of the flying cradle
can be used for permanent installations or to secure a hook clamp.
Ensure that an M10 eyebolt is secured to the rear point on the XY-122 enclosure to
use as a secondary safety feature.
