CAUTION
• Avoid locating the speaker box in high traffic areas where people may be injured on the
equipment and cords, or incur injury due to very high sound pressure level.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. This is an
indication of a malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate within the speaker box and
possibly result in a fire.
• Have the rigging and installation fittings checked periodically by a competent technician or
rigging specialist. Failure to do so may result in corrosion or damage to the speaker system and
rigging leading to a life threatening situation.
• Check that all elevated work platforms or other height access devices (ladders etc) will safely
carry the weight of the products to be elevated and the weight of the installation personnel
before starting the job.
Introduction
The HPi110/210 speaker system is designed for live mobile and permanent installation using a
hardware system to cover every installation environment and array configuration. The QR (Quick
Rig) system has been developed so that the majority of the hardware rigging options are designed
to suit both the HPi110 and HPi210 models.
The HPi110/210 can be flown with weight rated high tensile eye bolts inserted into the many
box inserts but this can only be done following the standard rigging conventions understood by
licensed riggers.
Kits are available to facilitate simple and tidy installations while more sophisticated configurations
can be achieved by adding optional components to the basic kits.
Quest Engineering recommends that all available rigging and bracket options be reviewed for your
installation as a successful audio installation is greatly enhanced by correct speaker positioning.
The rigging options give a wide range of choices to direct the sound to where it is needed and
the prospect of very fine and accurate adjustments in all directivity planes. Numerous speaker
configurations for one, two or three speaker options are available with the HPi110/210 series and
flying an array of up to three boxes is possible with variable angles between the boxes.
The HPi110\210 QR system aims to be the most versatile rigging system in the world.

Safety Matters and Precautions
• Avoid installing the mounting hardware on unstable structures, such as on un reinforced walls or
ceiling members that are not intended for carrying extra weight.
• Refer all installation work to the dealer from whom the speaker was purchased. Installation for
flying speaker systems requires extensive technical knowledge and experience. The speaker
or rigging hardware may detach if not correctly installed, resulting in serious injury to anybody
below.
• Be sure to follow the flying instructions exactly as described. Do not take shortcuts during the
installation and flying process. Identify any possible risks or hazards before beginning the setup\
installation. Time and care should be taken so as not to expose yourself or other workers to
danger with unsafe practices.
• Check to confirm that suspension wires are strong enough, correctly terminated and sufficient to
carry the total load with at least a 4:1 safety rating.
• The connectors of the suspension wires and belts must be securely linked with those of the
speaker or rigging hardware.
• All parts and components (such as enclosures, metal pieces, and screws) must be free from any
damage, cracks and\or corrosion.
• Be sure to use screws supplied with the optional flying hardware when installing any mounting
hardware or the speaker itself.
• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the
mounting bracket.
• When hanging a rigged array, be sure that at least two persons are available to install the unit.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Do not use other methods than those specified to mount the speaker boxes.
• Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the ceilings or wall’s structure and composition.
• Tighten each nut and bolt securely. Ensure that the hardware has no loose accessories.
• Use only the specified mounting brackets. No warranty is provided due to damage resulting from
a failure of after-market accessories.
• Do not mount the unit in locations exposed to constant excessive vibration. Fittings on the
mounting bracket or fly-ware may become loose causing components to detach and cause injury
below.

Simple Hanging Without Accessories
The structure and construction of the HPi110/210 allow for a variety of hanging possibilities.
Both the HPi110 and HPi210 include 9 x M10 lifting points, and as well as a pole mount plate, to
bring maximum flexibility even without additional accessories.
All points are either straight on the metallic handle or connected to an internal metal brace.
When hanging the box with eye bolts, rigging conventions dictate that the box must be attached
by two independent fixation points and both points must be able to carry the weight of the flown
installation plus the mandated safety factor.
Each Side:
2 points on the
aluminium handle.
Top 2 points
SAFETY TIP
On both HPi110 and HPi210, the safest
place to hook a safety link is to the
aluminium handle; particularly the rods
that join the handle to the speaker (as
shown here).

The QR1 kit
(standard for fixed
wall mounting
installations) comes
complete and
assembled, with the
right screws and
bolts to install a
single HPi110.
The installation Spine (i-Spine) offers
a more elegant solution for permanent
installations. The row of holes at the rear
of the spine allows for vertical tilt when
wall-mounted.
The i-Spine comes with an M8x50 custom
Quick Pin (Q-Pin) as well as a pair of long
M10 counter sunk screws.
Ordering reference:
ACHPiATS
Option Note for QR-1
(Available as a separate component)
The touring Spine (t-Spine) is
recommended for a precise and easy
hanging setup of the speaker when
used when flying a single speaker.
The holes, on each side, allow for a
5o stepped tilt of the cabinet [from
-15˚ to +45˚] Only one rated shackle
is necessary to use the Spine in
most applications (a quick-pin is also
included with the t-Spine).
The t-Spine can also be used as part
of a more complex rigging system.
Primary applications include:
• Wall Mount applications where tilt is
not needed
• Vertically Arraying 2 Speakers

Installation of the Spine on the HPi110
NOTE: The 2 x M10 bolts supplied with both the i-Spine and t-Spine should replace the previously
installed screws in the speaker. The M10 bolts are designed with a longer thread which provides
increased strength and security to the system.

Once the spine has been installed (as
described above) install the wall-mount as
follows:
1. Bolt the wall mount assembly (without
the speaker attached) onto the wall.
2. Lift the speaker (now installed with
Spine) and hook it onto the wall-mount.
The wall-mount is designed to safely
support the weight of the box from this
point.
3. Set the angle by sliding the quick-pin
into the right hole (see next section for
angles).

The hanging plate for 2 speakers allows for 3 sets of angles.
For application where wider dispersion is required, the 2 speakers can be angled at 10˚ or 20˚ in
addition to the standard 30˚ when the speakers are positioned side by side.
Please ensure that regardless of the angle, each speaker is secured with 2 x M10 screws.

Please ensure that regardless of the angle,
each speaker is secured with 2 x M10 screws.
Mounting the hanging plate:
1. Remove the 2 M10 screws at the top of
each speaker.
2. Place the hanging plate on top of the 3
speakers and align to the desired angles.
3. Bolt in the 6 M10 x35 counter sunk
screws included in the kit. (Add Loctite
