A y ou are hanging HEAVY ITEMS
OVER PEOPLE’S HEADS.
THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS !
YOU MUST ACCURATELY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL THE
PARTS INVOLVED IN THE INSTALLATION. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OTHERS AND EXPOSE
YOUR COMPANY AND YOU TO LEGAL ACTION.

3. Hanging the Speaker (confd)
THE INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT AND MUST BE ADHERED TO WHEN
FLYING THE SPEAKERS.
1) Use redundant suspension systems
AIways use a minimum of 2 suspension cables
or chains and make sure one is secured to each
eyebolt on the top of the speaker (A and B). Using
two cables, minimum, and securing one to each
eyebolt provides backup suspension should one
cable connection fail. Use redundant cable damps
on each cable and strip back any cable cladding
in the area of the damp.
2) Ensure capacity of suspension cabies,
chains, and anchor points
Make sure the cables, chains and any associated
hardware have a working load rating for AT LEAST
10 TIMES the speaker weight. Make sure the
structural anchor points for the cables or chains
have a working load rating for AT LEAST 10
TIMES the speaker load as well.
3) Ensure proper cable pull direction
The proper cable pull direction is IN-LINE with the loop of the eyebolt.
The load capacity of the eyebolt decreases rapidly as the pull direction
moves doser to being 90-degrees to the loop. This is why it is very
important to align the eyebolts as shown in Section 2.
NOTE: If you are using 2 cables on one eyebolt to form a “V”, a 90-degree pull direction
is OK since the 2 cables cancel out the 90-degree forces on the eyebolt. You must still
connect a backup cable (for a total of 3) to the other eyebolt on the speaker.
4) Double check that all hardware is properly tightened.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for tightening (over-tightening can be dangerous).
