CHAPTER 5: QUICKFLY RIGGING
The UPQ-D Series loudspeakers are compatible with
Meyer Sound's QuickFly
®
collection of custom-designed rigging, flying, and mounting
options. Comprising rugged, reliable, and easy-to-configure
components, QuickFly supports deployment of UPQ-D
Series loudspeakers as either individual loudspeakers or as
arrays at precise angles to take full advantage of their
directional components. The top and bottom plates for the
UPQ-D Series cabinet are constructed of heavy-duty,
high-strength, corrosion-resistant 6061-T6 aluminum and
include threaded metric holes (for M10 screws) for easy
connection to QuickFly rigging and third-party mounting
options.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS!
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers, the following
precautions should always be observed:
All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
•
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner's and user's responsibility to evaluate the
reliability of any rigging method for their application.
Rigging should only be carried out by experienced
professionals.
Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
•
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.
Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's
•
structural components (studs or joists), and not just to
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and
the anchors used for the installation will safely support
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.
Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface
•
where the loudspeaker will be installed.
Make sure bolts and eye bolts are tightened securely.
•
Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite
threads and safety cables.
Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly.
•
Immediately replace any worn or damaged components.

BASIC EYE BOLT RIGGING
The UPQ-D Series loudspeaker ships with two M10 threaded,
25 mm eye bolts that attach to the top or bottom of the
loudspeakers and can be used to suspend them. A minimum
of two eye bolts is required when suspending a single
loudspeaker. The use of two eye bolts provides the added
flexibility of aiming and tilting the loudspeaker for targeted
coverage.

Figure 14: UPQ-D Series Loudspeaker with Two Eye Bolts
NOTE:
Up to two UPQ-D Series loudspeakers,
oriented vertically, can be suspended with
Meyer Sound eye bolts at a 5:1 safety factor. For this
configuration, the top loudspeaker would have two
eye bolts installed on its top plate and two eye bolts
installed on its bottom plate for connecting to the
second loudspeaker. Additional M10 eye bolts
(PN 40.185.013.01 for a set of 2) are available from
Meyer Sound.
