It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to make sure the wall, ceiling, structure, and any attachments are capable of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Never modify Electro-Voice loudspeakers or rigging components or use a partial assembly of rigging components.
Chlorine Warning! Do not install MTS loudspeaker systems in high chlorine environments, such as swimming pools. Precautions These Electro-Voice loudspeakers were designed for use in an environment with ambient temperatures between -20°C (-4°F) and +50°C (122°F).

MTS loudspeakers are available in either white or black. Each loudspeaker has 24 M10 hard points for suspension in either horizontal or vertical configurations.
(Phoenix Contact P/N 1709212). The connectors can accommodate up to 6 mm AWG) stranded wire. A cover plate with gland nuts is included with MTS. It provides protection for the speaker and wiring against water ingress. The cover plate must be installed for outdoor and full exposure applications.

You can also use EASE or EASE Focus to model acoustics. Mechanical design MTS-4153 models are equipped with 24 M10 external suspension points for connection of eyebolts or 3 party suspension hardware. MTS-6154 models are equipped with 32 M10 external suspension points for connection of eyebolts or 3 party suspension hardware.
MTS High Output Point Source Designing an MTS array | en For fully weatherized (FW) models, always coat fasteners with RTV (silicon sealant) prior to insertion. Make sure a completely watertight seal is achieved and the threads are completely coated.

Single loudspeaker suspension using M10 eyebolts Suspend MTS loudspeaker models individually using the M10 suspension points. MTS is a very heavy loudspeaker. A minimum of 4 points must be used to suspend the speaker, 2 points minimum per planar surface.

MTS High Output Point Source Designing an MTS array | en DO NOT use a single pick point suspension system. Use multiple structural pick points or a single pick point with a secondary safety. See the examples that follow. Use a minimum of two pick points. This example uses three pick points.

| Designing an MTS array MTS High Output Point Source Always suspend MTS from the top of the enclosure, relative to its orientation. Speakers must not be suspended from cables attached to eye bolts on the sides of the cabinet.
Only certified structural engineers should be used to design any custom suspension frame. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. Warning! Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker array not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others. Warning! The simplified designs shown are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent or imply a complete design from Electro-Voice.

| Designing an MTS array MTS High Output Point Source Correct Incorrect The gap between the custom frame and the DO NOT allow any gap between the enclosure must be less than 1.5 mm (0.06 enclosure and the custom frame that exceeds in).
Drain holes The MTS fully weatherized models have optional drain holes on the bottom of the enclosure. The drain hole design discharges any water that accumulates over time. Electro-Voice recommends that the installer opens the drain holes for applications in which MTS loudspeakers will be directly exposed to precipitation.
