IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep these instructions.
2. Heed all warnings.
3. Follow all instructions.
4. Clean only with a dry cloth.
5. Do not block any ventilation opening. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
7. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
8. Adhere to all applicable, local codes.
9. Consult a licensed, professional engineer when any doubt or questions arise regarding a physical equipment installation.
WARNING!: Installing loudspeakers must be performed by experienced professionals. Incorrectly
installed loudspeakers may result in property damage, injury or death.
WARNING!: Read and follow these instructions carefully. If the loudspeakers are not suspended
properly, they could fall, causing personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Rules for Suspension
1. Consult a Professional Mechanical or Structural Engineer, licensed in the jurisdiction of the sound system installation, to review, verify, and
approve all attachments to the building or structure.
2. Employ the services of a Professional Rigger for hoisting, positioning, and attaching the equipment to the supporting structure.
3. Correct use of all suspension hardware and components is imperative in sound system suspension and deployment.
4. Always calculate suspended loads before lifting to make sure suspension components and hardware are used within their respective load
limits.
5. Consult local codes and regulations to fully understand the requirements for suspended loads in the venue in which you will suspend the
equipment.
6. Use only the recommended brackets with the M8 and M6 installation points.
7. Be absolutely certain of the integrity of any structural member intended to support suspended loads. Hidden structural members can have
hidden structural weakness.
8. Never assume anything! Owner or third-party supplied suspension attachment points may not be adequate for suspending the loads.
WARNING!: Overhead installations require a safety cable (not included) attached to the structure and
the loudspeaker enclosure.

WARNING!: Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all
hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any
missing, corroded, deformed or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of
the installation, placement, or array. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation
and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of
the installation and any possible short-term unexpected overloading. Never exceed the rating of the
hardware or equipment. Consult a licensed, professional engineer when any doubt or questions arise
regarding a physical equipment installation.
