5.2 – Using the FC-R5v
The FC-R8v is intended to mount the R5 vertically – either using a hook clamp or similar
from above, or a pole mount adapter to mount on a stand yet allowing enclosure tilt (see
chapter 5.6). The procedure for attaching the FC-R5v to the loudspeaker is the same
regardless of the mounting orientation.
The FC-R5v uses steel machined parts to bear the load, and a quick release sprung plunger
to secure the cradle in place.
Step 1
Line the FC-R5v up so the metal
hooks are over the slots in the flying
plate. Press the FC-R5v down gently,
and this will lift the plunger up from
its normal rest position.
Step 2
Step 3
The FC-R5v is now ready to be lifted
– using a hook clamp or similar from
the central pickup point on the outer
yoke.
To remove, simply lift the
plunger
and
slide
forwards.

Slide the FC-R5v to the rear of the
loudspeaker – when the plunger
moves over the locking hole, the
spring will force the locking pin into
place. You will hear a "click" when
this occurs, and the plunger will
return to its normal rest position.
