4.1
The WT2 and WT3 incorporate a pole mounting socket to facilitate
mounting on tripod stands between each speaker. When using stands, the
following precautions are advised:
Ensure that that stand will support the weight of the speaker by checking
the stand manufacturers rating.
Make sure that the stand is placed on a level surface and that its legs are
fully extended.
Do not place more than one speaker on each stand.
Run cables so that they do not present a trip hazard which could pull the
speaker over.
When used outdoors in the wind, it may be necessary to add some weight
to the base of the stand.
When using a pole mount with a sub-bass system, observe similar
precautions.
4.2
Ensure that the floor or stage is level and solid.
Do not stack speakers too high outdoors where winds could topple the
stack.
Be aware that speakers producing very high power levels can move or
creep. To avoid this, place friction material between the floor and speaker
and between each speaker.
4.3
WARNING: Suspending the system should only be done by qualified
personnel following safe rigging practices. Secure fixings to the
building structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural
engineers or other specialists if in any doubt.
The WT2 and WT3 are provided with threaded inserts to allow the
suspension of a single enclosure. Never suspend one enclosure from
another to form an array or cluster using these fittings. The enclosures
are provided with optional MAN flying points for array construction.
The common practice of using commercially available eye bolts for
suspension should only be undertaken with great caution. Eye bolts are
strongest along the thread axis. Angling the enclosures will result in an
angle pull and it is important to use eye bolts that are safe in these
circumstances. Only forged shoulder eye bolts should be considered and it
is important that the thread length is at least 30mm. A flat washer should be
inserted between the eyebolt and the enclosure. Formed eye bolts i.e.
those which are formed from a steel rod bent into an eye should be
avoided.
