3. FD series
3.1. Introduction
Field series’ design allows for easycoupling allowing
engineer to create a tailored solution for the best
coverage and clarity in clustered distributed
systems for domed stadiums, arenas and other
large open air spaces.
With comprehensive range of mounting accessories
engineered for permanent installation, Field series
is prepared to deliver controlled sound into the
most dicult installations.
FD-52 is a coaxial positioned hornloaded 15” and
1,5’’ HF driver speaker in weather-resistant IP 55
enclosure. Available with wide selection of HF
horn providing various coverage patterns, FD-52’s
are versatile for long-throw and short-distance
applications alike.
FD-S15 is a hybrid-horn subwoofer extending
operation of Field series for truly full-range
applications. Compatible IP55 enclosure allows to
integrate FD-S15 straight into a FD-52 clusters for
convenience of system engineering, deployment
and amplification

5. System operation
5.1. Rigging
FD series systems are equipped with M10 point for mounting or for connecting using the FD-C connector.
Rigging must be performed only by trained personnel following the established safety rules.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES!
MAKE SURE THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE IS CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE APPLIED WEIGHT WHILE
SUSPENDING THE SYSTEM!
5.2. Flying via M10 mounting points
Required accessories:
VA-0016 (part No. 00-00003695)
Dierent options are available while flying FD series speakers using integrated M10 flying points.
5.3. Eye-bolt orientation
While flying, pull direction must be in the
plane of the VA-0016 eyebolt’s ring. It is
prohibited to arrange the rig in the way
that pull direction is at the angle from the
eyebolt’s ring plane.

coupling together several FD-52 and FD-
S15 cabinets.
- Remove M10 mounting bolts from
cabinets. (pic. 1)
- Attach the FD-C connector to both
cabitens from two sides and fix it firmly
with M10 mounting bolts. (pic. 2) 1 2
