Rigging

WARNING: Installation should only be done
by an experienced technician. Improper
installation may result in damage to the
equipment, injury or death. Make sure that the
loudspeaker is installed in a stable and secure way
in order to avoid any conditions that may be dangerous
for persons or structures.
WARNING: The cabinet is suitable for rigging
via its fly points. NEVER attempt to suspend
an SRMv3 loudspeaker by its handle.

Rigging Design Practices

Rigging a loudspeaker requires determining:
1. The rigging methods and hardware that meet static,
shock, dynamic, and any other load requirements for
supporting the loudspeaker from structure.
2. The design factor and required WLL (Working Load
Limit) for this support.
We strongly recommend the following rigging practices:
1. Documentation: Thoroughly document the design
with detailed drawings and parts lists.
2. Analysis: Have a qualified professional, such as a
licensed Professional Engineer, review and approve the
design before its implementation.
3. Installation: Have a qualified professional rigger do
the installation and inspection.
4. Safety: Use adequate safety precautions and
back-up systems.

Rigging Hardware and Accessories

Rigging our loudspeakers will invariably require
hardware not supplied by us. Various types of
load-rated hardware are available from a variety
of third-party sources. There are a number of such
companies specializing in manufacturing hardware
for, designing, and installing rigging systems. Each
one of these tasks is a discipline in its own right.
Because of the hazardous nature of rigging work
and the potential liability, engage companies that
specialize in these disciplines to do the work required.
We do offer certain accessory rigging items and some
of them may be used with a variety of products. While
these accessories are intended to facilitate installation,
the wide variety of possible installation conditions and
array configurations do not permit us to determine their
suitability or load rating for any particular application.
We are not in the business of providing complete
rigging systems, either as designers, manufacturers,
or installers. It is the responsibility of the installer to
provide a properly engineered, load-certified rigging
system for supporting the loudspeaker from structure.

installing an optional hanging bracket that allows the
speaker to be flown. SRM350v3 Bracket Kit: PN 0016404

Rigging Notes

The SRMv3 loudspeaker's integral mounting points
are designed to support only the weight of their own
loudspeaker with suitable, external hardware. This
means that each SRMv3 loudspeaker must be supported
independently of any other SRMv3 loudspeaker and any
other loads. All rigging points must be used to hang an
SRMv3 loudspeaker.
