INSTALLATION

The BT82 Series loudspeakers may be mounted
using any of the brack ets or fixtures sho wn above. If
the loudspeakers are to be suspended instead of
directly hung from the brackets or other mounting
hardware, insure that the material chosen, and the
suspension points are of sufficient strength to meet all
applicable code requirements and adequately support
the weight of the speaker and the hardware. If needed,
a structural engineer or rigging contractor should be
consulted. If the speak er is to be mounted outdoors
wind loading should be considered.

attached by approv ed methods that will meet all
applicable code requirements.
