ETX Powered Loudspeaker Accessories
1 Safety
The ETX Powered Loudspeaker systems and rigging accessories in this manual have a minimum structural safety factor of 8:1 when used as intended. The safety factor is defined as the ratio of the ultimate-break strength divided by the working-load limit. The ultimate-break strength represents the force at which a part will structurally fail. The working-load limit is the maximum load that the user shall apply. The safety factor provides a margin of safety above the working-load limit to accommodate normal dynamic loading and normal wear.
When ETX Powered Loudspeaker systems are suspended using the ETX Powered Loudspeaker rigging accessories as illustrated in this manual, the resulting forces loads will be within the working-load limits of both the loudspeaker systems and the rigging accessories, and a safety factor of at least 8:1 will be maintained. The use of rigging configurations other than recommended by Electro-Voice in this manual for either the ETX Powered Loudspeaker or ETX Powered Loudspeaker rigging accessories are at the risk of the user.
Warning!
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
!with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Prior to use, inspect the suspension points and associated hardware for any cracks, deformations, broken welds, corrosion, missing or damaged components which could reduce the suspension points strength. Replace any damaged hardware. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load intended for the suspension points. As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to the building structural supports. This redundant safety point should have as little slack as possible (less than one (1) inch is preferable). Prior to each use, inspect the loudspeaker enclosures for any cracks, deformations, missing or damaged components, which could reduce enclosure strength. Replace any loudspeaker systems damaged or missing hardware.
Warning!
Eyebolts must be fully seated and oriented in the plane of pull. Always use fender washers at
!least 1.5 inch in diameter and 1/16 inch thick under the eyebolt to distribute the load on the enclosure.
REFERENCE: For more information, see ETX Powered Loudspeakers User Manual (F.01U.276.083).

Attaching the T-Brackets
The ETX-12P loudspeaker is shown in the illustrations. Use the correct size wall mount bracket kit designed for your ETX-10P, ETX-12P, or ETX-15P loudspeaker. For more information, see
ETX Powered Loudspeakers Accessory Guide, page 6.
To attach the T-Brackets to ETX-10P, ETX-12P, or ETX-15P loudspeaker, do the following:
1.Using an Allen wrench (supplied), remove the four (4) rear suspension point M10 screws from the loudspeaker.
Figure 2.1: Removing screws
2.Align the T-Bracket with the holes on the top and rear of the loudspeaker (Vertical). OR
Align the T-Bracket with the holes on the right and rear of the loudspeaker (Horizontal).
Notice!
When mounting a loudspeaker horizontally, the T-Bracket with hook needs to be installed on the left side as you face the front of the loudspeaker.

7.Tighten the two (2) M10 button head screws.
The T-bracket with hook is secured to the loudspeaker.
Mounting U-Bracket to the wall
The wall mount U-Bracket is used to mount a loudspeaker to the wall.
Caution!
Due to the weight of the Electro-Voice loudspeaker system, it is imperative the bracket is
!properly secured to the wall. The choice of fastener (not supplied) will be determined by the material and construction of the mounting surface. The user is responsible to ensure the mounting surface and fasteners are capable of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.
Caution!
!Two (2) person lift and placement is recommended for the heavier loudspeakers. Single person lift and placement of heavier loudspeakers could cause injury.
Notice!
The wall U-Bracket mounting holes accept M10 or 3/8-inch fasteners. The horizontal holes are located 16-inches apart for attachment to studs.
