INSTALLATION – RIGGING AND SUSPENSION
DO NOT INSTALL SPEAKERS IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!
INSTALLATION BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY!
INSTALLATIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON ONCE A YEAR!
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING
Keep speaker a minimum of 5.0 feet (1.5m) away from ammable materials and/or
pyrotechnics.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A qualied electrician should complete all electrical connections and/or installations.
A MAXIMUM OF 12 IPERIO PRO speakers may be suspended from a SMALL FLYBAR.
A MAXIMUM OF 2 IMP205 Sub speakers may be suspended from a LARGE FLYBAR,
plus
A MAXIMUM OF 4 IMP205 speakers may be suspended from a LARGE FLYBAR
attached to the bottom of the above mentioned 2 suspended sub speakers.
USE CAUTION WHEN POWER LINKING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS AS THE POWER
CONSUMPTION OF OTHER SPEAKER MODELS MAY EXCEED THE MAX POWER OUTPUT
ON THIS SPEAKER. CHECK SILK SCREEN ON SPEAKER FOR MAX AMPS.
WARNING! The safety and suitability of any lifting equipment, installation location/
platform, anchoring/rigging/mounting method, hardware, and electrical installation is the sole
responsibility of the installer.
Install speaker(s), all speaker accessories, and all anchoring/rigging/mounting hardware
following all local, national, and country commercial, electrical, and construction codes and
regulations.
Consult a professional equipment installer to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface
is properly certied to safely support the combined weight of the speakers(s), clamps, cables,
and all rigging hardware and accessories before rigging/mounting a single speaker or multiple
interconnected speakers to any metal truss/structure.
Carefully consider item selection for rigging in unusual environmental conditions as rigging and
suspension equipment could be subject to wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation,
alteration, and other factors that may reduce their capacity rating.
Visually inspect metal truss/structure to ensure it does not ex and/or become deformed due
to the weight of the speaker(s). Damage caused to speaker(s) through mechanical stress is not
covered by warranty.
Install speakers(s) in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas were
unauthorized personnel might reach the speaker(s) by hand. Access under work area must be
blocked.

19
INSTALLATION – RIGGING AND SUSPENSION
OVERHEAD RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including amongst others, calculating working load
limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material
and the speaker. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper
installation can result in bodily injury and property damage. Regardless of local installation
conditions, the following guidelines apply to all overhead rigging installations:
NEVER stand directly below the speaker(s) when rigging, removing or servicing.
To limit swinging or tipping the load when lifting the sub speaker(s) and/or Imperio speaker(s)
into position when stacking, rigging, and/or suspending them using the available Imperio Flybar(s),
determine the center of gravity of the overall assembly, then rig or suspend the load through a
lifting point straight above the center of gravity. If using multiple rigging/anchor points and a
single lifting point, ensure that all suspension load angles used are symmetrical about the lifting
point with respect to the center of gravity so that load tensions are balanced between ropes, wires,
chains, or cables.
Structural members, such as a truss system, must always be used to attach or suspend loads from
a ceiling or to a wall. Never use a ceiling or wall surface itself to attach or suspend external loads,
the catastrophic failure of which can or likely will result in potential structural/property damage,
injury, or death.
Inspect/verify the structural integrity of the structural member used to suspend, hang, or support
external loads by looking for hidden structural weaknesses.
Avoid using threaded fasteners in wooden structural members for suspending overhead loads (nails,
screws, lag bolts, etc.). Threaded fasteners are inherently unreliable for suspending overhead loads,
due in part to possible hidden structural weaknesses in the wood (cracks, knots, etc.).
Suspension points provided by the installation owner or third-party may not be adequate to lift or
suspend the intended overhead loads.
You must consult an expert, such as a structural engineer or rigging specialist, if there is even the
slightest question or doubt about the structural integrity of any part of the installation.
Take all appropriate precautions and safety measures when placing equipment in potentially
dangerous locations, especially where public safety is a concern.
