1 Safety
The ELX200 loudspeakers and rigging accessories in this manual have a minimum structural
safety factor of 8:1 when used as intended. The safety factor is defined as the ratio of the
ultimate-break strength divided by the working-load limit. The ultimate-break strength
represents the force at which a part will structurally fail. The working-load limit is the
maximum load that the user shall apply. The safety factor provides a margin of safety above
the working-load limit to accommodate normal dynamic loading and normal wear.
When ELX200 loudspeaker systems are suspended using the ELX200 rigging accessories as
illustrated in this manual, the resulting loads will be within the working-load limits of both the
loudspeaker systems and the rigging accessories, and a safety factor of at least 8:1 will be
maintained. The use of rigging configurations other than recommended by Electro-Voice in this
manual for either the ELX200 loudspeaker systems or ELX200 rigging accessories are at the
risk of the user.
!
Warning!
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals
who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects
overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends that loudspeakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly
recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations
require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable
of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker
not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Prior to use, inspect the suspension points and associated hardware for any cracks,
deformations, broken welds, corrosion, missing or damaged components which could reduce
the suspension points strength. Replace any damaged hardware. Never exceed the limitations
or maximum recommended load intended for the suspension points. As an added safety
measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to the building
structural supports. This redundant safety point should have as little slack as possible (less
than one inch is preferable). Prior to each use, inspect the loudspeaker enclosures for any
cracks, deformations, missing or damaged components, which could reduce enclosure
strength. Replace any loudspeaker systems that are damaged or missing hardware.
!
Warning!
Eyebolts must be fully seated and oriented in the plane of pull. Always use washers under the
eyebolt to distribute the load on the enclosure.

Safety point
As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to
the building structural supports. This safety point should have as little slack as possible (less
than 1-inch is preferable).
Adding a safety point
To add a safety point, do the following:
1. Remove one of the screws from the top of the loudspeaker.
2. Replace the screw with one eyebolt and one washer.
3. Tether the safety point back to the building structural supports.
An added safety point is established back to the structural supports.

Installing the mounts
The ELX200 wall mount bracket is designed for use with all of the ELX200 full-range
loudspeakers.

Notice!
When mounting a loudspeaker horizontally, the lower mount needs to be installed with the
slot opening on the bottom. This may require the upper/lower mounts to be switched
between the top and bottom of the loudspeaker.

2.2 Eyebolt kit
The EBK1-M10 Eyebolt Attachment Kit from Electro-Voice is designed exclusively for ELX200
full-range loudspeakers, for ease of installation. It contains three short shank shoulder
eyebolts, along with four washers for load distribution, which attach to Electro-Voice
loudspeakers that have integrated M10 suspension points. The eyebolt attachment points can
be used to suspend Electro-Voice loudspeakers using hardware rated for overhead lifting. The
loudspeaker is suspended using two main suspension points with one pull-up point in the
back for aiming. Rigging hardware (shackles, etc.) attaching to the eyebolt must fit through
the 25 mm (1 in) opening.
The eyebolt kit contains the following:
Quantity Component
3 M10 x 20 mm (0.787 in) short shank shoulder eyebolts
4 M10 (10.5 mm ID x 20.0 mm OD) washers

Warning!
Eyebolts must be fully seated and oriented in the plane of pull. Always use the washers to
distribute the load on the enclosure. Over tightening the eyebolt with a wrench, screwdriver,
etc. can result in system failure and injury. Consult the loudspeaker installation manual for
the loudspeaker load ratings and specific requirements.
