5. Recommended System Configuration

Acoustic Density X10 User Manual
The Acoustic Density B15 loudspeaker includes a 35mm (1-3/8”) stand mount to allow the
mounting of another speaker on top of the B15 bass.
Make sure to:
• Check the specifications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight
of the speaker.
•Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members
will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Secure cables with wire
ties or tape whenever possible.
•Check that the surface the B15 is placed on is level and plane because there is a high risk of
tipping over if not.
• Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker.!
• Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the
stand, ask another person to help you place it.
