Rigging and Electrical Safety
DANGER: The loudspeakers described in this manual are designed
and intended to be suspended using a variety of rigging hardware,
means, and methods. Installation of loudspeakers should only be
performed by trained and qualified personnel. It is strongly recommended
that a licensed and certified professional structural engineer approve the
mounting design. Severe injury and/or loss of life may occur if these products
are improperly installed! All electrical connections must conform to applicable
city, county, state, and national (NEC) electrical codes.
DANGER: It is possible to experience severe electrical shock from a
power amplifier. Always make sure that all power amplifiers are in the
"OFF" position and unplugged from an AC Mains supply before
performing electrical work.
IMPORTANT: All electrical installation connections for loudspeaker
lines are subject to all applicable governmental building and fire
codes. The selection of appropriate electrical hardware to interface
with the loudspeaker lies solely with the installation professional. Biamp
recommends that an appropriately licensed engineer, electrician, or other
qualified professional identify and select the appropriate conduit, fittings, wire,
etc. for the installation.
DANGER: The output power capabilities of audio amplifiers present a
danger to installers. To minimize the risk of electric shock from
loudspeaker connecting cables, confirm that the power amplifiers are
turned "off" before connecting loudspeaker cable(s) to the loudspeaker or
amplifier. Always follow local electrical codes and proper electrical safety
procedures.

WARNING: After wiring the amplifier(s) to the loudspeaker(s), first
power-up all devices that are upstream of the amplifier, such as mixers,
equalizers, compressor/limiters, etc., before powering-up the amplifier.
This is to avoid passing any clicks or pops that may originate in the upstream
devices to the loudspeakers. The amplifier should initially be powered-up with its
gain controls turned all the way down. After making sure that a continuous
signal is present, such as a CD playing, slowly raise the level of the gain controls
to establish that the wiring has been installed correctly. Only then should the
loudspeaker be operated at normal output levels.
Wiring and Electrical Safety
The MPLT-62 comes with an attached gland nut. The installer must provide the
cable. The designer must account and compensate for cable losses between
the amplifier and the loudspeaker system. Refer to this
for more information on cable loss calculations. Please contact the Customer
Support for additional assistance (email: support@biamp.com)
Wire the loudspeaker. A typical installation method is to locate a junction
box (J-box) close to the loudspeaker and connect to it with a shorter cable.
Connections within the J-box should be made with appropriate wire
connectors. Terminate per your local electrical code.
NOTE: Be sure to read the loudspeaker safety guide included in
the carton with the loudspeakers.
