ACCESSORIES
Tight Pack Kit: IB-TPK*
A Tight Pack Kit is available that fits the iHP1200, iHP1500 and iHP3500
Series iBOX loudspeakers. Designated the IB-TPK, it is intended for use only with
identically dimensioned enclosures; it does not permit mixing form-factors.
The kit consists of two angle brackets and a flat steel plate, slotted to align
with the iBOX rigging fittings on the tops and bottoms of the enclosures. It allows
two iBOX enclosures to be flown in a tight-pack configuration or with as much as 10º
of splay between them. Three, four, or more iBOX enclosures may be flown by
purchasing additional Tight Pack Kits; two kits will fly three enclosures, three kits will
fly four enclosures, and so on.
All parts in the kit are engineered to provide a high margin of safety when
used with iBOX loudspeakers. The brackets are manufactured of steel and covered
with a durable powder-coat finish. Each kit comes complete with four eyebolts
intended for use as safety points. Kits are available in either black or white to match
the color of the enclosures. Please note, however, that the eyebolts provided with
the White Tight Pack Kits are finished in black.
No hardware is provided to attach suspension cables to the Tight Pack Kit. Such hardware must be
supplied by the installer, and should be rated for the weight load of the enclosures. The installer is solely
responsible for determining if all rigging components that are used to suspend the enclosures are adequately
sized and rated, and if the structure they are suspended from is capable of safely supporting the aggregate
weight load.
Universal Planar Kit: IB-UPK*
An adjustable Universal Planar Kit is available for flying arrays and
clusters of three loudspeakers. Designated the IB-UPK, the kit fits the iHP1200,
iHP1500 and iHP3500 Series iBOX loudspeakers and permits the mixing of form-
factors; it can support arrays made up of same size or different size iBOX
enclosures.
One popular use of the Planar Kit is to support a subwoofer in the center
position flanked by two full-range enclosures. This useful configuration permits
fine tuning of the horizontal coverage angle, while keeping the subwoofer in
mechanical alignment with the full-range enclosures.
The kit consists of two Universal Planar Angles and one flat steel plate,
slotted to align with the iBOX rigging fittings on the tops of the enclosures. It
allows three same-sized iBOX enclosures to be flown with horizontal splay
adjustments from tight-pack to a 45º angle between cabinet edges, and three
different sized iBOX enclosures to be adjusted from tight pack to a 15º splay angle
between cabinet edges.
WARNING: Do not use the Universal Planar Kit with more than three enclosures.
All parts in the kit are engineered to provide a high margin of safety when used with iBOX loudspeakers.
The brackets are manufactured of steel and covered with a durable powder-coat finish. Each kit comes
complete with four eyebolts intended for use as primary suspension points and/or as safety points. Kits are
available in either black or white to match the color of the enclosures. Note, however, that the eyebolts provided
with the White Vertical Flying Kits are finished in black.
No hardware is provided to attach suspension cables to the Universal Planar Kit. Such hardware must
be supplied by the installer, and should be rated for the combined weight load of the enclosures. The installer is
solely responsible for determining if all rigging components that are used to suspend the enclosures are
adequately sized and rated, and if the structure they are suspended from is capable of safely supporting the
aggregate weight load.
*See Page 48 for an explanation of array coverage angles using these brackets.
