QR1 Rigging Installation Guide
QR1 Touring Spine Hanging Bracket Order Ref: ACHPI-QR1
Introduction
The QR-1 Touring Spine (t-Spine) is
recommended for a precise and easy
hanging setup of the speaker when
used for flying a single speaker.
Kit Contents
• t-Spine
• Quick Pin 8 x 50
• Screws (2 x M10)
Mounting the Speaker
The T-Spine is attached to the top of
the loudspeaker with the two bolts
supplied. Coat the bolts with thread
locking paste for maximum protection
against bolts becoming loose over time.

Tilt Angle
The tilt angle of the vertical hang is controlled by the shackle location on the top box Touring
Spine. Insert the ball lock pin into shackle for desired tilt angle.
The t-Spine can also be used as part
of a more complex rigging system.
A suitably rated shackle is
necessary to use the T-Spine in most
applications (a ball lock quick-pin is
included with the t-Spine).

Safety Precautions
Avoid installing the mounting
hardware on unstable structures,
such as on unreinforced walls or
ceiling beams that are not designed
to carry 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 people
below.
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 installation.
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.
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.
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.
Use only the specified mounting
brackets. No warranty is provided
due to damage resulting from a
failure of after-market accessories.
After installation periodically have the rigging and installation
fittings checked by a competent technician or rigging
specialist. Failure to do so may result in a loudspeaker or
rigging element falling and causing injury.
