Safety
!
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 all 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.
!
Caution!
The seismic tab (auxiliary support ring) is not intended for primary suspension of the
loudspeaker. The seismic tab should only be used as a secondary safety point.
