Safety Precautions
Wall plugs provided are to be used in brick walls only. For other wall materials, source the suitable wall
plug before use.
DAS Audio is not responsible for use other than the recommended or whether it be the result of
insufficient strength of the support structure. Use only the screws and wall plugs supplied on surfaces that
will provide sufficient support.
Do not use on surfaces such as plaster boards and gypsum.
To ensure optimum safety, the installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals replacing all
deteriorated elements. Loosen the screws before reorienting the speaker. Never force the rigging elements.
It is highly recommended and in most parts of the world mandatory, that a safety cable be used to secure
the enclosure to the structure.
Contact a licensed rigger if there is any doubt.

Mounting instructions
You can consult the different mounting
instructions for each accessory for artec 300
series on the web: www.dasaudio.com
To perform any operations related to flying the system, read the present document first, and act on the
warnings and advice given.
The goal is to allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic
system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown.
Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the equipment and local safety regulations
should fly speaker boxes.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to be flown (including flying accessories) comply
with state and local regulations.
The working load limits in this manual are the results of tests by independent laboratories. It is the user's
responsibility to stay within safe limits. It is the user's responsibility to follow and comply with safety factors,
resistance values, periodical supervisions and warnings given in this manual.
Product improvement by means of research and development is on going at DAS Specifications are
subject to change without notice.
It is common practice to apply 5:1 safety factors for enclosures and static elements.
For slings and elements exposed to material fatigue due to friction and load variation the following ratios
must be met; 5:1 for steel cable slings, 4:1 for steel chain slings and 7:1 polyester slings.
Thus, an element with a breaking load limit of 1000 kg may be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1 safety
factor) and dynamically loaded with 142 Kg (7:1 safety factor).

The load capacity, of each lift motor, should correspond to a safety factor of 10:1.
When flying a system, the working load must be lower than the resistance of each individual flying point in
the enclosure, as well as each box.
Hanging hardware should be regularly inspected and suspect units replaced if in doubt.
This is important to avoid injury and absolutely no risks should be taken in this respect. It is highly
recommended that you implement an inspection and maintenance program on flying elements, including
reports to be filled out by the personnel that will carry out the inspections.
Local regulations may exist that, in case of accident, may require you to present evidence of inspection
reports and corrective actions after defects were found.
Absolutely no risks should be taken with regards to public safety.
When flying enclosures from ceiling support structures, extreme care should be taken to assure the load
bearing capabilities of the structures so that the installation is absolutely safe.
Do not fly enclosures from unsafe structures.
Consult a certified professional if needed.
All flying accessories that are not supplied by DAS Audio are the user's responsibility. Use at your own
risk.

ANL-2
To hang the units, the Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of
the enclosure. Each rigging point has a 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit.
Then choose the slings or chains of a required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length
difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation. Alternatively, the
back bottom eyebolt points can be used to provide vertical orientation.
The ANL-2 set is an optional set of four eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions are in milimetres).
Each ANL-2 eyebolt has a rated working load of 200 kg. (440 lb). Each ANL-2 carabiner has a working
load of 330 kg (726 lb). If using other hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the required load.
When using eyebolts it is important to bear in mind that the rated working load is only true for a load
applied in the plane of the eye, and is significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing above illustrates the
concept.
The table shows the variation of the working load as a function of the load angle. In the case of the ANL-2
eyebolt, this means that the 200 kg working load becomes 60 kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if
the load angle is higher than 45 degrees.
Note: As always, when we handle heavy loads, we should wear appropriate clothing and
protective elements such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.

Installation Line Array
Also, the artec 300 series permits to make line arrays with the models ARTEC-320 & ARTEC-322S.
The ARTEC-320 includes the JP-320, to help in the angling of the array. The sum of the angles
used on a side, indicate the angle between the boxes on this side.
Note: Use the same combination for the other side.
Then we will see the silkscreen of these pieces and an example for 6º.

artec 300 series also offers an optional AX accessory, AX-AR3, which allows us to fly an array of
ARTEC-320, or ARTEC-322S + ARTEC-320.
The ARTEC-322S does not include the JP-320.
See the silkscreen of AX, where the holes to use for the different combinations are indicated.

Note: It’s possible to use a UFB (Universal Fly Bar) if a central bar is needed, because this AX does
not include a pick-up.
Note: The same screws removed on the sides of the boxes, will be used again to fit the accessories
to the enclosure.
Regardless of the use of a UFB, we must start by screwing the AX-AR3 to the top enclosure.

Both in the case of having subwoofers as in the case of not having any, we will mount the following
ARTEC-320 below the first enclosure, for which we need a JP-320, one piece for each side, with the desired
angles.

ANNEX : Table for cable selection
This table shows the power loss in % and dB, for different cable lengths and sections shown. It is
recommended that the losses do not exceed 30% in any case (around 3dB). Although it is recommended
minimizing losses, the maximum acceptable losses are usually around 15% (approximately 1.4dB).
