strictly forbidden! Never leave the loudspeaker unattended during the entire installation
process. Always keep watching all rigging components and connection joints during the
uplifting procedure! Stop the uplifting procedure if any uncertainty occurs! Lambda Labs
recommends to always use a second and independent safety link to upper located
suspension points after the setup is ready.

The rigging component +,-.$/0&' can be used with all loudspeakers from the TX- or CX Series. Because of awide range of
possible rigging configurations the I-Bracket Rigging System can provide, the number and types of required rigging
components can vary as well. The following chart shows the main rigging components. This is an introduction to make you
familiar with the components and their functions.

The I,-.$/0&' is the key element of the I-Bracket Rigging System. It can be mounted to the EPS Rigging Points on the
Lambda Labs loudspeakers. The load transfer takes place via the integrated ^OQ#_ O@9.&55 Q24 #(5'&6.It provides vertical
and horizontal rigging options from ceilings, trusses and walls with the additional opportunity to mount the loudspeaker
upside down. The loudspeaker can be continuously tilted, rotated by optionally 360 degrees and even swivelled to provide a
setup in almost all directions. The I-Bracket can be mounted to ceilings and walls directly or using the I&2C243JD.A55

The +,-.$/0&' in combination with I&2C243JD.A55 BK$9'&. is designed for the suspension of individual loudspeakers of the
TX- and CX-Series from ceilings, walls or triangle truss. The connection between the I-Bracket and the Ceiling/Truss Adapter
can be rotated +/- 45 degrees from its center position. The I-Bracket & Ceiling/Truss Adapter is suitable for fixed
installations.

The I-Bracket is the key element of the I-Bracket Rigging System. Using the I-
Bracket, the following Lambda Labs speakers can be flown:
•TX-Series: TX-1A, TX-2A, TX-3A
• CX-Series: CX-1A, CX-2A, CX-3A
The weight of the I-Bracket Short (I) is 1.9 kg including all components.
The weight of the I-Bracket Long (I) is 2.6 kg including all components.
I-Bracket Short allows smallest installation requirements. I-Bracket Long allows
larger possible rigging angles.
