Stud Wall Mounting; Mounting Surface Reinforcement - Electro-Voice Sx600 User Manual

Stud Wall Mounting

First determine whether the structural members in the wall can withstand
not only the weight of the Sx600, but also the side-to-side stresses of
heavy cross-winds. Reinforce both sides of the wall with heavy plates, ¾
inch marine plywood minimum, and use through bolts. Never rely on lag
bolts alone. Additional side-to-side support may be had by attaching
simple steel outriggers (not included) from the SuperSAM pivot bolt to
the next stud on either side of the mounting bracket. Never mount to a
wall containing plaster or drywall without backing plates.

I-Beam Mounting
Because of the vast number of sizes and conditions of their use, consult
a licensed structural engineer for the approved method of attaching an
Sx600 to any particular I-Beam or other structural component.

Mounting Surface Reinforcement

If in doubt: Make It Stronger. Strong side winds will exert tremendous
side leverage along the axis of the mounting bolts sufficient to crush
some surfaces. A large backing plate and/or steel outriggers attached
from the pivot bolt to the wall 16" to 24" either side of center makes a
simple and effective reinforcement in most situations.
