    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.

  • Page 24: Single Loudspeaker Suspension Using M10 Eyebolts

    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.
  • Page 25 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.
  • Page 26 | 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.
  • Page 27: Custom Frame Design Considerations

    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.
  • Page 28 | Designing an MTS array MTS High Output Point Source Correct Incorrect Use at least eight M10 structural hard points DO NOT use fewer than four M10 hard points on each loudspeaker element, four on each on each side of the loudspeaker.
  • Page 29 MTS High Output Point Source Designing an MTS array | en Correct Incorrect Install lateral support bars after the DO NOT use plates on each side of the array loudspeakers are mounted to the frame sides without lateral support. to ensure they are tight to the loudspeakers, and that the frame is rigid between the side mounting points.
  • Page 30 | 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).
  • Page 31: Consideration For Weatherized Design

    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.
