Step 3: Mounting the Zx5 Loudspeaker

Lift the Zx5 so that the bottom of the Zx5 is
pointing towards the plastic post on the U­bracket. Angle the bottom of the Zx5 towards
the post and then push the Zx5 against the
plastic post and between the arms of the U­bracket until the plastic post slides into the pole
mount hole on the bottom of the Zx5. Move the
Zx5 into position between the U-bracket arms
and screw the bolt (Item E) [with washer (Item F)
attached] through the U-bracket hole and into
the threaded Spanning Bracket hole. Hand­tighten the bolt, adjust the Zx5 to the desired
angle, and then finish tightening the bolt with the
use of a wrench until the Zx5 no longer rotates.

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 rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice® strongly
recommends that Zx5 speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local
regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that Zx5 speakers are safely installed in accordance with all
such regulations. If Zx5 speakers are suspended, Electro-Voice® strongly recommends that the system be inspected at
least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. Please
consult the Zx5 owner’s manual, which details the various hardware kits that are available to safely suspend Zx5
speakers and how each kit should be used.
