local EM Acoustics representative.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The HALO Compact rigging system has been designed and constructed to a very high standard of
safety, and tested to demanding specifications. To ensure the highest standards of safety, the
following information on array assembly must be exactly followed and understood.
Only use EM Acoustics recommended rigging hardware and accessories, which are specifically
designed for the purpose. Do not use HALO Compact flying hardware for any other loudspeaker
system – the components are specifically designed to work with the HALO Compact system and
are not interchangeable with any other EM Acoustics loudspeaker product or any other
loudspeaker system. The use of HALO Compact flying hardware with other manufacturers'
systems may compromise the safety standards and EM Acoustics, and its parent company, are in
no way liable for any loss, damage or injury caused by such practice.
Do not modify or alter the HALO Compact hardware or accessories, nor use them in any way other
than that described in this manual. Rigging components supplied as part of the HALO Compact
system are in no way interchangeable and should not be used as such.
The component parts of the HALO Compact rigging assembly should only be assembled in the
manner described in this manual, using the fasteners and fixings stated herein. The use of
fasteners and methods of assembly not described in this manual may result in an unsafe assembly
and as such EM Acoustics will not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury caused by such
practice. Welding, drilling or any other means of modifying any part of the flying hardware or
permanently fixing components to each other is strictly forbidden.
Rigging assemblies must only be assembled using the appropriate parts and fixings as described
in this manual, explicitly following the assembly instructions given herein. Rigging components
must only be fixed to EM Acoustics HALO Compact loudspeaker systems, using the correct cabinet
location points, assembly methods and fasteners specifically described within this manual.
Walls, floors and ceilings must be capable of supporting the actual load placed upon them. The
rigging hardware must be safely and securely fixed to both the loudspeaker system and the
supporting structure.
When mounting components on walls, floors or ceilings ensure that all fixings and fasteners used
are of an appropriate size and load rating.
Wall and ceiling claddings, and the
construction/composition of walls and ceilings also need to be taken into consideration when
determining if a given suspension method is safe.
