For More Information - Community ENTASYS Application Manual

Community offers several different mounting brackets as well as an autoformer to extend the functionality of ENTASYS
systems. These mounting brackets are designed to provide the proper safety factor when used correctly. See the ENTASYS
Installation/Operation Manual, Pages 17-30, for additional information on these brackets and their use.
ENTASYS Mounting Bracket (included): ENT-MB, ENT-MBW
The ENTASYS Mounting Bracket (Figure 1), also referred to as the "T-bracket", is included and shipped attached to
each ENTASYS column loudspeaker. This bracket is the primary means of attaching all other brackets and fly kits to the
loudspeaker enclosure, and can also be used to mount an ENTASYS enclosure directly to a wall or other surface.
ENTASYS Coupler Bracket: ENT-CB1, ENT-CB2, ENT-CB1W, ENT-CB2W
The ENTASYS Coupler Bracket (Figure 2) is used to attach two ENTASYS columns together. Multiple Coupler
Brackets may be used to connect up to five columns. The Coupler Brackets must be attached to the "T" Bracket of
each ENTASYS column to be connected together. Connecting the ENTASYS modules together is the first step required
when constructing multiple column arrays, regardless of the other brackets that will be used to mount or suspend
the columns.
ENTASYS Pan Bracket: ENT-PB, ENT-PBW
The ENTASYS Pan Bracket (Figure 3) can be used to mount up to five ENTASYS columns flush on a wall while
enabling vertical axis rotation (panning) of up to 80 degrees (from 5° - 80° aiming angles) of the entire array. Pan
Brackets may be installed on a wall in either a left-hand or right-hand orientation, as required for aiming the array. The
Pan Bracket kit contains two curved metal brackets and all hardware required to attach these brackets to the
"T" Bracket.
ENTASYS Pan-Tilt Bracket: ENT-PT, ENT-PTW
The ENTASYS Pan-Tilt Bracket (Figure 4) is used to provide both horizontal axis rotation (down-tilt) and vertical axis
rotation (panning) when an array is mounted to a wall. The Pan-Tilt Bracket consists of two primary parts: the Top
Assembly and the Bottom Piece. The Top Assembly consists of multiple parts, configured and assembled to provide the
desired down-tilt angle for an array of up to five columns. Once the Pan-Tilt Bracket Assembly has been assembled, it is
mounted to a wall and the ENTASYS system(s) are then attached to it.
The Pan-Tilt bracket can be used with a one, two, or three column array to provide a down-tilt angle of up to 10
degrees. With a four or five column array the maximum down-tilt angle is 5 degrees.
ENTASYS Fly Kit: ENT-FK, ENT-FKW
The ENTASYS Fly Kit (Figure 5) can be used to suspend an array of up to five ENTASYS modules. The Fly Bracket
provides multiple attachment points at the top of an array while the Pull Back Bracket provides points lower on the
array for additional aiming flexibility. The attachment points on the Fly Bracket at the top of an array alone will
allow various down-tilt angles with a dead hang, this point alone is not recommended. The attachment points on the
Pull Back Bracket at the bottom of an array should also be used for fine control of vertical tilt. Use both points: the Fly
Bracket plus the Pull Back Bracket. Attach a secondary safety line to the top of the Fly Bracket as a safety cable.
