SPECIFICATIONS
Peavey Lark 10 is a compact full-range loudspeaker module, designed as part of an array loudspeaker system, consisting of a
10" woofer, a 10" mid-woofer and a 3" tweeter loaded with a waveguide horn. Designed to provide modular coverage of small to medium
venues Lark 10and intended for use with the companion Lark 18S sub, the offers extreme versatility and high performance.
The adjustable rigging system provides for a classic straight line array configuration, or a number of different angling
options, providing easy aiming of the system. Angles between the array modules is adjustable from 0˚ (straight), to 10˚ in 1˚
increments. Total maximum angle between two cabinets is 10˚.
Quick release pins are supplied with the rigging hardware to couple the modules together and set the angles Lark 10
between them for quick and easy field adjustments or re-configurations of a line array.

extension and enhancement for any full-range speaker system. When Lark 10 is paired with Lark 18S, it can form a
powerful full-range speaker system, which is competent for the main system of small and medium-sized indoor and

Rigging Instructions
NOTE: Before you fly the array, be sure to inspect the rigging and flying hardware to insure that it is mechanically
sound and has not been damaged, there should be no significant distortion of the shape of the coupling brackets,
cabinet brackets, Halo or fly bar, and the hardware should be checked for tightness.
This PEAVEY loudspeaker should be suspended overhead only in accordance with the procedures and
limitations specified in the User’s Manual and possible manual update notices. This system should be
suspended with certified rigging hardware by an authorized rigging professional and in compliance with local,
provincial or national suspension ordinances. ALWAYS USE PROPER GRADE HARDWARE.
CAUTION: Before attempting to suspend this speaker, consult with a certified structural engineer. Speaker
can fall from improper suspension, resulting in serious injury and property damage. Use only the correct
mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others. Maximum enclosure angle 30 degrees.
Failure to follow proper rigging specifications listed in the manual may result in injury or death.
Whenever possible, in addition to the nominal primary mounting method, use a suitable safety chain or wire rope
attached to one of the other groups of fly points, and firmly attached to a suitable structural member as indicated
by a certified structural engineer. CAUTION: ALWAYS USE SAFETY CHAIN OR WIRE ROPE.
IF ANY OF THE RIGGING, OR THE HALO OR FLY BAR HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR DISTORTED,
DO NOT USE, AND DO NOT FLY THE ARRAY UNTIL THEY CAN BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED!
DO NOT USE THE PIVOT BAR OR ANGLE SLIDER BRACKET AS HANDLES TO TRANSPORT THE CABINETS!
DO NOT TRANSPORT THE CABINETS IN ARRAY CONFIGURATION COUPLED TOGETHER,
EXCEPT WITH THE RECOMMENDED TRANSPORT CART AND IN THE STIPULATED MANNER
FOR THAT CART. TRANSPORT IN SUCH AN UNAPPROVED MANNER VOIDS THE WARRANTY, AND
THE SYSTEM WOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO BE FLOWN AFTER SUCH AN UNAPPROVED
TRANSPORT EVENT.
Use only the correct mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others.
Correct use and seating of the Quick Release Push Lock Pins Used with all LARK rigging hardware.
When using the Quick Release Positive Lock Pins, when the Quick Release Push Lock Pins are inserted, they
should be fully seated, so that the black shoulder near the end of the pin has been placed flush with the side of
the bracket, or as far in as the pin hole cavity will allow it to be inserted.
You will have to fully depress the center push-button to do this.
You should not be able to pull these pins out unless the center push-button is fully depressed.
