12. Rigging Precautions: When mounting or suspending EAW Commercial loudspeaker
enclosures, it is essential that load ratings, rigging techniques, and special safety
considerations be appropriate for the installation. Use only the mounting/rigging points
on the loudspeaker enclosure intended for this purpose. The user must determine the load
requirements, dynamic loading, and any other contributing factors affecting the loudspeaker
installation. The user must determine the proper design factor for specific applications and
the required load rating of the connection to structure. Comply with all applicable federal,
state, and local regulations.

EAW Commercial strongly recommends the following rigging system practices:

• Documentation: Thoroughly document the mounting/rigging design with detailed

drawings and parts lists.

• Analysis: Have a licensed structural engineer or other qualified professional review and

approve the mounting/rigging design before its implementation.

• Installation: Use personnel experienced and qualified for mounting/rigging loudspeakers

in accordance with and in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations.
DANGER: Loudspeakers should be mounted or suspended only by persons with knowledge

of the proper hardware and rigging techniques. Failure to follow these precautions may
result in damage to the equipment, personal injury, or death.

2. INTRODUCTION

This bracket allows the SMS1990 loudspeaker to be mounted to the wall, and electrically
connected in the same operation. The bracket can be wired and mounted in place, and the
loudspeaker added at a later time.

Once the bracket has been wired and mounted to the wall, the SMS1990 can be quickly
pressed onto the input connector and held securely in place. It can be easily adjusted in
vertical and horizontal angle, and locked in place with a locking wheel.

This manual covers two brackets:

• The CF-1TX has an internal transformer for constant voltage applications. The
transformer has multiple taps, with a selector switch to set the desired power tap
wattage for the system.

• The CF-1LZ is used for constant impedance applications, with no internal power
transformer.

The mechanical mounting details are identical for each clip-fit bracket.
