TMK Series
The Electro-Voice® TMK Truss Mount Kits are accessories that are designed to suspend Electro-Voice loudspeakers to a truss. The bracket allows the speaker to be rotated in both the horizontal and vertical planes for maximum versatility (see Figure 1). There are different suspension kits, depending on the loudspeaker that is being suspended, as shown in the table below:

Assembling TCA-1 to VSA-1 (all Speakers)
Remove the short 1/2” bolt and washer from TCA-1. The short bolt and washer are not needed for installation. Mount the TCA-1 to VSA-1 in the desired horizontal position, using the long 1/2” bolt, flat washer, and lockwasher (see Figure 2).
WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regula-
tions of rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice® strongly recommends that all speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local regu-
lations. 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 truss, and any additional hardware used, is capable of supporting the loudspeaker. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker that is not associated with Electro-Voice® is the responsibility of others.
