Chapter 5: Quickfly Rigging; Basic Eyebolt Rigging - Meyer Sound UPQ-1P Operating Instructions Manual

CHAPTER 5: QUICKFLY RIGGING

The UPQ-1P loudspeaker is compatible with Meyer Sound's
QuickFly system, a comprehensive collection of custom-
designed rigging, flying, and mounting options. Comprised
of rugged, reliable, and easy-to-configure components,
QuickFly lets you deploy UPQ-1P loudspeakers as either
individual loudspeakers or as arrays at precise angles to
take full advantage of their directional components. The top
and bottom plates for the UPQ cabinet are constructed of
heavy-duty, high-strength, corrosion-resistant 6061-T6 alu-
minum and include threaded metric holes (for M10 screws)
for easy connection to QuickFly rigging and third-party
mounting options.
Important Safety Considerations!
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers, the following
precautions should always be observed:
All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner's and user's responsibility to evaluate the reli-
ability of any rigging method for their application. Rigging
should only be carried out by experienced professionals.
Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.
Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building's
structural components (studs or joists), and not just to
the wall surface. Verify that the building's structure and
the anchors used for the installation will safely support
the total weight of the mounted loudspeakers.
Use mounting hardware appropriate for the surface
where the loudspeaker will be installed.
Make sure bolts and eyebolts are tightened securely.
Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite
threads and safety cables.
Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-
diately replace any worn or damaged components.

BASIC EYEBOLT RIGGING

The UPQ-1P loudspeaker ships with two M10 threaded, 25
mm eyebolts, which attach to the top or bottom of the loud-
speakers and can be used to suspend them. A minimum of
two eyebolts are required when suspending a single loud-
speaker. The use of two eyebolts provides the added flexi-
bility of aiming and titling the loudspeaker for targeted
coverage.

UPQ-1P with Two Eyebolts
Sound eyebolts at a 7:1 safety factor. For this config-
uration, the top loudspeaker would have two eyebolts
installed on its top plate and two eyebolts installed on
its bottom plate, for connecting to the second loud-
speaker. Additional M10 eyebolts (PN 40.185.013.01
for a set of 2) are available from Meyer Sound.
NOTE: Up to two UPQ-1P loudspeakers, ori-
ented vertically, can be suspended with Meyer
