Vertical Yokes for IC6-1082, IC6-2082
CAUTION: Installation of loudspeakers should only be
performed by trained and qualified personnel. It is strongly
recommended that a licensed and certified professional
structural engineer approve the mounting design.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow these basic safety precautions when using or installing I SERIES loudspeakers and
accessories:
• Read these instructions prior to assembly.
• Keep these instructions for reference.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions, particularly those pertaining to rigging, mounting, hanging and electrical
connections.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,light fixtures, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Only use attachments and accessories that are specified and approved by the manufacturer.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
The terms CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER may be used in this manual to alert the reader to
important safety considerations. If you have any questions or do not understand the meaning
of these terms, do not proceed with installation. Contact your local dealer, distributor, or call
Community directly for assistance. These terms are defined as:
CAUTION: describes an operating condition or user action that may expose the
equipment or user to potential damage or danger.
WARNING: describes an operating condition or user action that will likely cause damage
to the equipment or injury to the user or to others in the vicinity.
DANGER: describes an operating condition or user action that will immediately damage
the equipment and/or be extremely dangerous or life threatening to the user or to others
in the vicinity.
These installation instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions
unless you are qualified to do so.
UNPACKING / INSPECTION
Community I SERIES loudspeakers are
engineered and manufactured to be rugged
and they are carefully packed in sturdy cartons.
However, it is recommended to thoroughly
inspect each unit after it has been removed from
the packaging, as damage could occur during
shipping.
Please note that once the shipment has left
your dealer or the Community factory, the
responsibility for damage is always borne by
the freight company. If damage has occurred
during shipping, you must file a claim directly
with the freight company. It’s very important to
contact the freight company as soon as possible
after receiving your shipment, as most freight
companies have a short time limit within which
they will investigate claims. Make sure to save
the carton and the packing material, as most
claims will be denied if these materials are
not retained. Your Community dealer and the
factory will try to help in any way they can, but
it is the responsibility of the party receiving the
shipment to file the damage claim.
It is always a good idea to retain the carton and
packing materials, if possible, in the event that
the unit may need to be returned to your dealer
or distributor for repair in the future.
CAUTION: Installation of
I SERIES loudspeakers should
only be performed by trained
and qualified personnel. It is strongly
recommended that a licensed and
certified professional structural
engineer approve the mounting. Severe
injury and/or loss of life may occur if
this product is improperly installed.
RIGGING SAFETY / IMPORTANT NOTES
There are three primary areas of responsibility
for rigging loudspeakers. The first is the
building structure. Always consult with the
building architect or structural engineer to
assure the ability of the structure to support
the loudspeaker system. The second area
of responsibility is the loudspeaker itself.
Community certifies its loudspeaker systems
and rigging accessories for suspension
when they are properly installed according
to our published guidelines. The third area
of responsibility is everything between the
loudspeaker and the building structure and the
actual process of installation. The installing
contractor assumes this responsibility.
Loudspeaker rigging should be performed only
by certified rigging professionals using certified
rigging hardware chosen for the specific
application. Prior to installation, the contractor
should present a rigging plan, with drawing
and detailed parts list, to a licensed structural
engineer (P.E.) or architect for written approval.

IMPORTANT: I SERIES loudspeakers are designed and intended to be mounted to
diering building surfaces using a variety of rigging hardware, means and methods.
Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained and qualified
personnel. All electrical connections must conform to applicable city, county, state, and
national (NEC) electrical codes.
DANGER: All rigging fittings must be fully tightened and secured. Any missing fasteners
or parts will compromise the structural integrity of the enclosure and constitute a safety
hazard. Over-tightening (crushing the wood) should be avoided as well. Do not suspend
the loudspeaker unless all fasteners are securely in place!
IMPORTANT: The flat head bolts that come installed in each enclosure must remain in
place or be replaced by a threaded fastener from an array bracket. The bolts attach to
internal metal brackets that are critical to the structural integrity and rated Safe Working
Load (SWL) of each point and each array assembly. Failure to include a fastener in every
location could lead to serious injury, or even death.
DANGER: I SERIES rigging fittings are rated at a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 150 lbs
(68 kg) with a 10:1 safety margin. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a
load that is greater than this stated limit. Failure to heed this warning could result in
injury or death!
VERTICAL YOKES
IVY1082 - Vertical Yoke for IC6-1082
IVY2082 - Vertical Yoke for IC6-2082
APPLICATION: Suspend and aim single loudspeakers vertically (in portrait
orientation) from ceilings, walls, trusses, or use with BalancePoint™ Flyware
rails and frames.
Before assembly: Adhere the rubber washer to the inside of the yoke (aligned
with cabinet mounting hole - see arrow in Figure 1).
Notes:
1. Since the primary (factory standard) orientation of the IC6-2082 is horizontal, it is suggested that
the horn be rotated to maintain its stated coverage pattern when mounted vertically.
2. The yoke can be attached to the building structure and then the loudspeaker can be installed later.

Hardware and Parts: There is a key at the beginning of each instruction
that shows the parts, their quantity and abbreviation. We also use a
shortened code for the hardware that oers an easy reference to the
type, diameter and approximate length.
ex: HW1 = Hardware Washer 10mm;
HH1-3 = Hardware, Hex head bolt, 10 x 35mm
IMPORTA N T: The flat head bolts that come installed in each
enclosure must remain in place or be replaced by a threaded
fastener from an array bracket. The bolts attach to internal metal
brackets that are critical to the structural integrity and rated Safe Working
Load (SWL) of each point and each array assembly. Failure to include a
fastener in every location could lead to serious injury, or even death.
SAFETY CABLES
IMPORTA NT: Attach a safety cable to one of the unused mounting points
on the loudspeaker (and/or the bracket assembly). Safety cables must
be secured to a sui table load-bearing po int separate from the loudspeaker
mounting point, with as little slack as possible, oriented to minimize dynamic
swinging of the load, so as not to develop undue shock or kinetic force if the
loudspeaker mount were to fail. Safety cables and hardware are not included.
Please consult a structural engineer for the appropriate cables, hardware, and
