Loudspeaker systems are potentially dangerous objects if used incorrectly. Please ensure that you read this section fully, and contact EM Acoustics or your local dealer should you be in any doubt over correct operation procedures. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of producing damage-inducing sound pressure levels, and hence care should be taken when setting your system up, particularly when it comes to loudspeaker placement within a venue.
Cabling and Amplifier Selection The EMS-121X is designed to be used with professional power amplifiers providing the following power outputs: EMS-121X 800W/channel into eight ohms...
– we would stress that the higher the filter, the safer the loudspeaker will be. If you are in any doubt over suitable settings for your EMS-121X, please don’t hesitate to contact EM Acoustics or your local dealer for support and advice.
A safety steel can then be attached to this and connected to your safety point. If you are in any doubt whatsoever about how to safely suspend your loudspeakers, do not hesitate to contact your EM Acoustics representative who will be able to refer you to a qualified rigging company for advice.
The points on the top of the flying cradle can be used for permanent installations or to secure a hook clamp. Ensure that an M10 eyebolt is secured to a rear or top point on the EMS-121X enclosure to use as a secondary safety.
Lie the enclosure on its front and remove the four M6 countersunk points on the rear of the enclosure. Position the loudspeaker-side of the bracket as required, reinstate the bolts and retighten. The bracket and EMS-121X can now be mounted using the holes you have pre-drilled.
