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 suspenson method, fit a rigging equipment to any of the rigging points. A
safety wire can then be attached to this and connected to your safety point. If you are in any doubt whatsoever about how to safety suspend your loudspeakers, do not
hesitate to contact the retailer or dealer from which you purchased this product.

direction.

Precautions when installed in high locations

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.
