PX-D1
The Electro-Voice® PX-D1 accessory consists of a pair of dolly plates with assembled casters for use with the Phoenix
PX2122 and PX2152 Loudspeakers. Each dolly plate is capable of rotating out of the way when the dolly is not in use. This
is especially useful for when the speakers are being shipped or arrayed, whether on a groundstack or hanging from a grid.
1. Remove (2) 5/16” bolts from rear of the PX2122 or PX2152 enclosure.
2. Align the plastic st andoffs with the recesses in the enclosure so the dolly board is perpendicular to the length of
the enclosure. Turn the wing screw into the enclosure until tight (see Figure 1).
3. When not being used for transport, rotate the dolly boards so they are parallel to the length of the enclosure.
Loosen the wing screw until the dolly board is able to rotate freely . T urn the dolly board 90°, and tighten the wing
screw (see Figure 2).
CAUTION! If the dolly boards are removed, replace the (2) 5/16” bolts into the rear of the
enclosure. If the bolts are not replaced, the speaker will have air leaks resulting in undesirable
performance.

PX-D2
The Electro-Voice® PX-D2 accessory consists of a pair of dolly plates with assembled casters for use with the Phoenix
PX2181 Loudspeaker. The dolly plates double as skid plates for extra protection of the PX2181’s back panel.
1. Remove (16) 5/16” bolts from rear of the PX2181 enclosure.
2. Align holes in the PX-D2 with the holes on the PX2181 enclosure, and tighten the (16) 5/16” bolts into the dolly
boards (see Figure 3).
CAUTION! If the dolly boards are removed, replace the (16) 5/16” bolts into the rear of the
enclosure. If the bolts are not replaced, the speaker will have air leaks resulting in undesirable
performance.

PX-G1
The Electro-Voice® PX-G1 is an array kit that allows for suspension of up to (3) PX2122’s or (2) PX2152’s on a material
lift. There are multiple horizontal splay and vertical tilt options that make the PX-G1 useful in many applications.
CAUTION! 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 all speakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that all speakers are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. When 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 . The user is responsible for making sure
that the grid, and any additional hardware used, is capable of supporting the loudspeaker array. Any hardware used to
suspend a loudspeaker array that is not provided by/associated with Electro-Voice® is the responsibility of others.

are included with the PX-G1 to store unused fasteners during transport. Remove the
mic bag and carabiner when the array is in use to prevent rattling.

Installation of the PX-G1
1. Arrange the PX2122 or PX2152 loudspeakers on a flat surface to approximately the desired horizontal splay angles,
and remove the M10 flat head screws from the top of each enclosure a hex key (not included). Only remove the
bolts that are called out for the desired configuration (See Figure 5).

Note: Use either PX2122 or PX2152 loudspeakers; the models are NOT designed to be used in an array together. DO
NOT use other loudspeaker models other than the PX2122 and PX2152.

Installation of the PX-G1 (continued)
2. Set the array bracket on top of the loudspeakers, and
align the holes on the array bracket with the suspension
points on the loudspeaker. Attach the washers, lock
washers, eyebolts (not included) and M10 button head
screws to the threaded suspension points on the
loudspeakers, using a hex key (not included). Torque all
fasteners down so that the lock washers are fully
compressed. Note final orientation of eyebolts. For
permanent installations, use a thread locker (not
included) on the button head screws and eyebolts (See
Figures 5 and 6).
WARNING! Electro-Voice strongly
recommends that M10 forged
shoulder eyebolts that are compliant
with DIN580 standards are used as
redundant safety points for the array (See Figure 5 for
recommended locations). Eyebolts are not included.

3. Remove the M10 flat head screws that are located at
the bottom of the enclosure in the rear, and install the
rear hinge plates (See Figure 7). There are different
configurations for the rear hinges depending on how
many enclosures are used (See Figure 8).
Flat Head Screws must be
removed before Plates are
Installed

4. Install the material lift adaptors to the material lift by
sliding the tube over the fork, and installing the long
pin through the hole in the fork (See Figure 9).
WARNING! Make sure the pins
for each material lift adaptor
pass through their respective
holes in material lift forks, and
fully lock or engage other side of material lift adaptors.
Do not lift any array without ensuring pins pass through
forks and are fully locked or engaged.
5. Attach the material lift adaptors to the array bracket
using the short pins (See Figure 10). There are 17
holes on the array bracket (A-Q) that can be used
to approximate the desired vertical tilt angle. See
the table below to determine which holes should be
used to achieve the desired tilt angle.

Note: All angles shown in chart are approximate. Cabling
and any other supplementary equipment may change the
absolute angle of the entire array from what is shown in the
chart. Do not attempt to tilt an array beyond the angles
shown in the chart.

6. Following safe rigging practices, attach rated safety cabling (not included) from the material lift to the eyebolts
(See Figure 12).
WARNING! The center of gravity of the array is located below the hole on the material lift
forks. Never exceed the load limits or the maximum load height that is specified by the
material lift manufacturer. Always place the material lift on a flat, stable surface and use all
stabilizer hardware. Take extra caution when used in windy, outdoor applications that could
cause the array to become unstable. Consult the material lift user manual for proper use and safety guidelines.
