5.3 – Using the FC-R5h
The FC-R5h is intended to mount the R5 horizontally. To fit, lie the R5 on its side and line
the flying cradle up with the mounting holes in the desired location (see 5.3.1 below).
Secure to the R5 using the supplied M8 locking knobs.
M8 form A (flat) washer
M8 spring washer
Hand knob
Ensure that the washers are in the correct order – form A (flat) in contact with the frame,
and then the spring washer between the flat washer and the locking knob. Tighten the
handles on both sides to lock the desired angle for the R5.
Always ensure that a secondary safety is used when suspending any loudspeaker.
5.3.1 – Drop height adjustment on the FC-R8h
Different location lugs to secure the R5 to are provided on the FC-R5h mounting yoke.
Position 1 (closest to the end of the yoke arms) allows full 360° rotation of the
loudspeaker, and positions 2-4 offer a closer fit to the yoke, but with reduced rotational
ability of the loudspeaker itself.
Position 4
Position 1
Position 3
Position 2
Note that the different locations are linked by a slot, so the position can be adjusted by
simply loosening the grip knobs and sliding the R5 to the rear of the bracket so it can move
freely. Slide forward into the desired location so the grip knob threads rest on the bracket,
and tighten to lock the angle. This technique works whichever way up the bracket is used.
