Eye Bolt Mounting

Eye Bolts

All BlacklineX Powered systems have threaded inserts rated for flown installations. The XP12 and XP15 full range loudspeakers have M8
threaded inserts and the XP118 subwoofer has M10 inserts. Most commonly these are used in conjunction with shouldered eye bolts for
suspending the cabinets using appropriately rated chain or steel wire. Martin Audio's HTK00003 (M8) and HTK00004 (M10) are rated
for use in flown applications. Note that if you plan to use alternative eye bolts these must be shouldered cast steel NOT formed steel types
commonly available from DIY stores. They must have a safe working load rating compatible with the weight of the cabinets.
BlacklineX Powered loudspeakers can be flown in portrait or landscape format. Please note that the horn must be rotated when the cabinet
is used in landscape mode. Please see the chapter on grille removal and horn rotation.
We recommend using a minimum of four eye bolts with which to suspend the cabinet irrespective of which orientation is used. In most
applications two eye bolts are used as the primary support left and right. A third attaches to the rear of the cabinet and is used to adjust
the down-tilt of the cabinet as required. The fourth eye bolt is used to attach a secondary safety line which should be attached to a secure
mounting point which is independent of the primary flying point, round a girder or similar.
