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 that all loudspeakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance with all such
regulations. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends that the
system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected,
remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure that the
wall or ceiling is capable of supporting the loudspeaker. Any hardware used to suspend a
loudspeaker that is not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
